Hitler's vehicles being sold for 9 million bones...

...and you can get three of them for that price! Who doesn't want a few 6-wheeled war wagons owned by the der fuhrer? And for that number, who can pass them up?

I came across this article when perusing CNN.com today. The article states that "[t]he cars have six wheels, built for Hilter to drive through the blown out streets of conquered countries. There’s a parade car for Hitler and his mistress Eva Braun, a luggage car that doubled as an ambulance, and a radio car."

But that's not the interesting part of the article. Instead, at least for UND alumni, is the part of the article that discusses who is selling the vehicles.

"Adrain is a friend of the owner; he specializes in hard to sell items. The former owner of the Imperial Palace Casino in Vegas used to own them; he says they didn’t get out much then either."

Do you know who used to own the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas? That's right, former UND Sioux goalie, philanthropist and Nazi-lover...the late Ralph Engelstad. Is a new Tennis court going up on campus? Maybe the hockey team needs heated helmets? The possibilities are plentiful.
