Michael,

Ok that link must have been a slip of the mouse.  But, FYI, my uncle "Wes Myrick" and a team of about 15 were the ones
who rebuilt that GM Futurliner in Michigan.  It is restored perfectly and worth every penny.  Before TV, that was how they
got products out to show people.

He also has 5 barns filled with antique automobiles.  Everything you can imagine and more.  Wes turned 90 this year.  He doesn't
look a day over 60.  He has NEVER been to a doctor.  Never even had a headache.  Still works on his cars every day.  He is amazing.
And a truly wonderful person.

Terry

So I agree Richard owes us, but $330k seems a crazy price for it.  Would
have guessed $180k.

Someone mentioned they thought this was a charity car, I'm not sure of
that. Other charity car
are noted as that on the docket - check out #2501:

http://www.barrett-jackson.com/Events/Event/Details/1950-GENERAL-MOTORS-FUTURLINER-PARADE-OF-PROGRESS-TOUR-BUS-178574

We can hate it all we want, we aren't necessarily the target audience.
While I was
standing next to the car lots of people were taking pictures and giving it
lots of
positive comments. I do think it looks better in person, even he agrees the
interior
needs help. I did overhear people talking about the "cool yelllow Pantera"
in other
areas of the arena so some people like it.

If only we were going to be having a large Pantera gathering in Texas we
could give
him an invite to show him how awesome our cars really are...
