Did some reading myself. Seems like they can stay in a state similar to suspended animation for LOOOONG periods of time; having been confirmed up to 30 years. That state is referred to as a "tun" IIRC. But OUT of the tun, they only live 2 or 3 years.

Really interesting.

Came across this photo and I have no idea what it is. It looks like a professionally taken one. Can any read what is above the headers? Does it say MARK V LINCOLN?

The last word only has five letters.

I can't make out what it says, though.

This 1954 Ford Crestline Skyliner is described as one of 107 factory-built with a “demo hood,” a dealer display item with a clear window allowing potential customers a peak at the then-new 239 Y-block OHV V8.

He owned the real, 1 and only '68 Z28 convert built for Pete Estes ??? Must have been a LONG time ago. That car was believed lost for MANY years until about 10 years ago.

Doesn't Dana Mecum now own it?

He did the last time I saw it. Something about the original paperwork was stolen out of it at one of his auctions while it was getting loaded on a transport truck if I remember correctly. Bill
