VorpalBunny Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Yep, this is the first vert made just prior to Thumpers. It is one of only 2 known Terlingua verts. Be curious to see what it sells for. If anyone has access to the final sales price, please let me know. vorpl8@yahoo.com Also, if you know the buyer ask them to email me so I can update the registry.

lrtinman Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 I'm the guy you're looking for. My wife and I bought #21, the orange grabber Terlingua last week at the Mecum Auction in Monterey. It's not in our garage yet - still waiting for transport - they sold so many cars in Monterey last week (5 auction houses in town for Car Week) they haven't even started loading cars headed for Texas. After we get delivery, I'll post pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
