I shudder to think how much it would cost to restore that thing. Sad

Neat looking piece of American Art Deco Futurism though, should go to some museum of transportation IMO.

Now THAT would be fun to re-do or restore. I wonder how much he wants for it? On second thought even if I could afford to buy the thing I sure couldn't afford the divorce. Shocked

How much does he want for it?

Ron Pratte paid 4 million for a restored Futurliner at the Barrett-Jackson auction a couple of years ago if that gives you an idea of what those things are worth.

There are a few photos of it on here.

The guy apparently had it sold to a Swedish fellow, but the deal must have fell through.

I saw vthat auction too. I still contend that Barrett Jackson isn't reality. I have no idea but I wouldn't want to offer the owner $75 grand if I didn't really want it.
