    I wonder what kind of money undertaking a project of that magnitude would be. Whatever amount it is, it definitely was well spent. Simply gorgeous.

    As a MILLER fan I have to ask, what did the project look like when found? I've got the bill of sale from the 1925 Miller Ira Vail owned, got $6,500. for it at the end of the season and got to drive it in the 1926 500 as well.

    Gives me wood! My absolute Holy Grail. I would build an alter for it and sacrifice animals to it. I guess the main theme I'm trying to convey here is thats a cool motor.

    That would NOT go over big with Harry A. Miller,:mad: he had small zoo of his own, and his parrot outlived just about everyone that worked for him.
