Original owner of my car died 5 years ago. He bought it new and saved every document down to the check he used to buy it, original window sticker, dealer bill of sale, so on. Came with an entire car and a half of spare parts because he knew the owner of a wrecking yard. Also came with $4,000 worth of receipts for the built engine and head. 100k miles, always garage kept, immaculate for the age.
Got it from a friend of his family because nobody in his family wanted it, and the friend just took everything as a favor. It had been listed for 2 months and I was the first person to even show up. Paid 6k. I've posted on /o/ about it a fair bit
