    Amazing how such a huge amount of money can be spent to ruin  a good vehicle.

    How soon we forget.  This is the same diesel Hudson that was made for that handicapped driver, and was very, very much publicized a few years ago.

    As has been said many, many times - you do it for 'the hobby', not to make money.  He wants $40K, but the starting price (without reserve) is $35K.  In the end, he might see offers of $25K-$28K. 

    Better bet (for the seller) might be to take it to B-J...

    The "dream" of the handicapped driver was to set a land speed record at Bonneville with a diesel engine powered vehicle. I do not know if that opportunity came to fruition.

    Article doesn't say if he hit his goal - or I missed it.

    Tom, I love diesels and have owned several different ones. I don't often get into customs but this paticular one is right up my alley. I've been contemplating putting a turbocharged Cummins 4bt into a Stude pu I have.
    I remembered this PU when it was published in Trucking magazine and wondered what had happened with it.
