With recent prices of 71 Hemi Cuda Convert prices, I am really interested to see what the 70 Hemi Cuda Convert brings at Barrett Jackson. 3.0 to 3.5 million?

I heard that Charlie is after the Futureliner so do not bid against him. This is the next big thing for him after the station wagon.

- As well as a lot of others, I'm most interested in what the Futurliner goes for too. . I've had some minor involvement w/ the NATMUS Futurliner resto. also been on the trail of one of the lost units up here in Canada for a few years. .

As far as 'in your face' Amy goes....I'd drink her bathwater!

If you miss out on the bidding, here's the link to buy the Futurliner scale replica. . A whole lot easier to park and only $1845.00! ~ Pete

Sure is alot of 68-69 Z/28 cars for sale coming out of the woods. Is there a plant somewhere pumping these out. Same goes for the SS396 Chevelles. Maybe Rip Van Winkle owned them and just woke up after a long sleep.

It will be interesting to see how they auction it off. If it pulls up on the block, I hope it is re-inforced.

Is this pic shown above the Futurliner at B-J (previosuly known as the Fido unit) or of the recently restored NATMUS one? ~ Pete

Pete,
Taken from the Barrett-Jackson site.

One of 12 built by GM, a self-contained display and transport vehicle created by the GM design staff under Harley Earl's direction. Opening side, lighting, retractable stage, distinctive center "cupola" cockpit driving position and dual wheel front axle. Used in the "Parade of Progress" touring exhibit created by "Boss" Kettering that complemented the GM "Motoramas" from 1940 through 1956. One of only three survivors restored in their original "Parade of Progress" configuration (the others are in long term ownership by NATMUS and Peter Pan Bus Lines), this Futurliner is fully functional and has toured Canada in corporate promotions. Recently returned to its original "Parade of Progress" configuration and colors. Powered by a 400ci GM truck engine and fully equipped including an onboard motor-generator and updated air conditioning for the driver's compartment. A matchless symbol of the American auto industry at the height of its power and influence.
