Dear daytonajim00,



Blackbird #21 was black. Unfortunally it was totaled. Someone is showing a silver car as BB #21 and it is not a Blackbird. Thanks, Greg







Photo of FAKE - NOT REAL BB #21 that is silver. The owner wants everyone to believe it's a real BB. It IS NOT!



If you ever see this car set the owner straight - I hate imposters. FAKE - FAKE - FAKE - Jim Smith







From Greg - May 13, 2014.........



Hi Jim, sorry for all of the misspelling in the previous email. I typed it out in a hurry. The car was wrecked when I picked up my son from his high school shop class. He wanted to show the car to his friends and mechanic shop class teacher. The kids wanted me to do a burnout and I told them that I wasn't going to do this. Little did I know that one of the kids had poured half a quart of motor oil on the right back tire in hopes that if I agreed to the burnout, it would produce more smoke. When we left and I shifted into 2nd gear, the car spun out of control of a cliff. The kid confessed two days later and we did not file charges because no one got hurt too bad and he was a senior about to graduate. This would have given him a criminal record and he would not have been able to get into college. Really sucked, but at least the insurance company paid me more than I paid for the car in the settlement, due to the fact the only resale at the time was to a museum and sold for more than sticker price. Let me know if you need anything else from me.



Thanks again,



Greg

Some people love to clone cars. Many are too stupid and end up buying them too. :o
