jscheib Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Keith,If we were uncertain before, you now really qualify as a Certified Car Person. More into the auction then the Steelers. Of course, you probably were certain they would win.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Guy Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Tommy 1927, I am glad you got the one with the updated driveline! the original has a 6 cylinder GMC engine, and has a top speed of about 40 MPH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Allen Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Norb, Just to avoid confusion, the Futurliner that sold in AZ was not the Futurliner that a lot of us in Michigan worked on. The Michigan Futurliner belongs to NATMUS in Auburn, IN and is the only unit restored to the original GM Parade of Progress configuration. Our Futurliner is cuurently stored in Western Michigan and will soon travel to the Amelia Island, Florida show in March. It is also scheduled to be shown at Iola, WI in July and Hershey, PA in Oct. Check out the completed restoration at www.futurliner.comStu Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's Tommy doing here anyhow, I thought he gave up on the modified BCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_MrEarl Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Stu, I can only begin to imagine how the sale of the one at BJ's made everyone that has been associated with the restoration of the NATMUS Futurliner feel. And I am sure when asked what it's new value is, the answer must be "priceless". Anyone that has dedicated their time to working on it must feel a new sense of pride!!! We salute you. You were country before country was cool? and cost several million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivgs Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 The owner was quoted as saying he would have been happy to get $600,000 for it. I am sure he is VERY happy it went for 3.4 million over that. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
