i still have the original issue of sport truck on the build up, and will try to dig it up. i saw it at state fair park in '94 during it's first show tour and knew i had to have a 67-72.

Why the hell was this truck on the street at all?!? It should be at the Guggenheim Museum or something!

That truck was truely awesome, but could it actually cost $90K to duplicate that, I tried adding things up with overages and even being done by outside sources and my number doesn't reach half that. $36K in the motor! You can transplant a Ferrari V-12 cheaper than that!!!!

I agree with Mark....unfortunate, yes, but 90K? I seriously think not. If I had 90K in the bank I could do a near NOS rebuild on a '70 Super Bird with $$ to spare. It still sucks though
 I can see selling it out of pure disgust and heartbreak..I probably would too.

I agree, who was out driving this truck? I know people who don't have 90K in their house.

Im just trying to to figure out how somone hits a truck like that??
what are they going to say they by some freak way did not see it or something? I mean really how could you not see it? although 90k sounds kinda high that is still one of the nicest trucks that was ever built
