    Man.... and cars just sit and languish in my garage.

    Talk about fast work. I admire the new owner’s drive to get her going!

    So kool to see this restored, I cant wait to see it in person. Congrats to all that was involved.
     
  23. The reason it was shown at the Geneva International Motor Show was because it's in a Goodyear technology display.

    Love it. Now if someone would just build a clone of the un-restored "gold" version, circa 2017. ;)

  25. It looks cool. Not sure if I like the tires or not but it's great that Goodyear reproduced them so we can see what it looked like back when Jim was showing it. I can't imagine how it must have blown minds back then.

    It has certainly gained a lot of value in 7 months. In my opinion it will be more popular this year than 60 years ago simply from the technology it displayed back then. It will be hard for some to believe it was dreamed up that long ago and by who. I don't believe I will be surprised at the price it sells for the next time.
