wws944 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 It was prominently displayed at the Harrahs Auto Collection in the early 1980s. Shame that the HAC got broken up - but Holiday Inns, who bought the hotels/casinos, had no interest in keeping it intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthcranbrook Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Saw the story in the weekly Silodrom news letter. Fun read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 If this is indeed the Harrah creation it has gone thru some major changes. I recall that Bills car looked like a Jeep. You would have to open the hood to see that it was not stock. And it wasn't green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in Reno in the early 1980s, and used to go over to see the collection on occasion. But it has been so many years that I figured I was not remembering it right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the second, a 1977. The latter is the one that retained the Jeep front end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story goes that apparently Bill needed something less "flamboyant' to drive to the casinos. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The V-12 was so cleanly integrated "it looked like it came from the factory that way". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
