A man purchased an automobile from the federal government at auction for $2,000.00. The car had previously been forfeited to the government by a convicted drug dealer. Right away the purchaser noticed that the car "ran a little rough". He took it to his mechanic for an inspection. The mechanic found $237,000 in small unmarked bills in the gas tank. When the government heard about this, they demanded the car back saying they had no idea there was money in the gas tank and that there was no contract because they had not intended to sell a car with $237,000 in the gas tank. The purchaser insists that the contract was valid and he is not giving the money back. You are the judge. Who prevails? Was there a contract? Discuss in the context of offer and acceptance, paying particular attention to intent  - relevant  about 300 words
