Pity, if they had claimed it came directly out of the Yatming factory that way they could've made a killing!

I thought I saw that model a while ago along with some original photos of the convertible following the acquittal. I guess there was no reason to keep it hidden after the trial...

...it's been a slow month. :?

Better yet, in true PT style, take a blowtorch to it. Or a pistol. Whatever you have laying around the kitchen :wink:

And I was so looking forward to the demolition. Could have been a great YouTube clip :wink:

Don't feel bad...all the eBay snipes were out this weekend. At least I snagged some photo negatives (which came with original tear sheets, so I'm psyched) and an "experimental garage" memo. I was bummed about getting outbid on the Leabu pay stubs...but the seller had more. Hooray for the "second chance offer"!

$170?? I'd say that's a steal! I mean, the car probably has just as much documentation as the larger version...

So, for extra credit: Where did the interior for Preston and Vera's model come from (year and model)?

Hint: It's from a real convertible car (land yacht)...
