Neil (current owner) had brought this truck to several ATHS shows where it made great photo ops.
Got one around here somewhere of my oldest boy running in front of it (Staged, of course).
Neil had it in Fontana last year where he took it out and ran a few laps, what a sight!
If I had the cash, Id pick it up for sure.

Just a little FYI since I have a fair bit of ebay experience and I have learned a little about spotting fake auctions. i think this one is a fake auction, posted by someone who "hijacked" the real seller's ebay account. There are several things that point to this.
- Its a high ticket item, so it immediately peaks my suspicions, so I check out the seller's info.
-Seller has great feedback, but has never SOLD anything on ebay before...they have only been a buyer.
-I checked the types of utems this person deals with, and its all used women's clothing (cheap stuff), bead jewelry, knick-nacks, etc. Not exactly the kind of things that go along with someone who has the money to own an expensive piece of movie memorabilia.
-The items purchased point to the seller being a woman, again, not someone who would generally have something like this.
-Women are the typical victims of account hijacking.
The hijackers usually take over an account and post a big ticket item for sale for a deal thats too good to be true. Watch the auction until it ends to see if it is removed for a "listing violation". I have received at least 20 fake e-mails trying to get my ebay info, since I have a very good feedback rating as a seller, making me a prime target. Luckily I have learned what to look for, and I haven't fallen for any of them.
For those of you with ebay accounts, watch out for e-mails from ebay claiming that you need to sign in to verify your account info, and offer a link in the e-mail to do it. The page you are brought to looks just like an ebay sign-in page, but its a fake. Put in a fake username and password, and you will be brought to a page asking to verify your credit card info on file. The first part (username and password) is just to get that info, so your account can be hijacked. The next page is an attempt to really get you by getting your credit card info.
