Yahoo reports that one of two restored Futureliners will cross the Barret-Jackson Auction block in Phoenix, AZ on Jan 13. I'll be in AZ anyway, so it might be fun to see it sell.
His whole car collection is going across the pad at B/J you marry a young women sometimes they get nasty at divorce time and she is wanting her 1/2 lol one reason I been married to the one I have for so long I never could come up with enough cash to buy her out just kidding ;D
I still say the Futureliner is one ugly bus, but you know the saying about being happy for the rest of your life.
I agree about the ugly but I've never seen it in person. I'm sure it's about the same.
I have never seem a reason for one, they are about the most unusable thing ever built.
Bear in mind that the Futurliner wasn't a bus and was never intended to be one. And it wasn't intended to be a truck either, at least in the general-cargo carrying sense. It was what it was - a custom exhibition vehicle which was never intended to be sold to the public or used for any other purpose. Whether it was 'ugly' or not is debateable - I think they're really cool in a crude 1950s Flash Gordon kind-of way. Many radical concept vehicles could be argued to be 'ugly' because they are by definition very different from what is considered normal design

I don't think it was worth the 4 mil he paid for the 1st go around but hey he paid big bucks for cars also it is going to interesting to see what his collection sales for
I can't see the Futureliner selling for anything close to what it sold for the last time.
I would like to have Ron's 1929 Indian Motorcycle and the service stations that intrigues me more than anything he has in his collection
I wonder if he's figured a way to get it out of the divorce arrangments? He doesn't get to keep it but maybe she doesn't get it either?
