I was just recording time. It was very interesting and yes the owner was a very private and did not want any one to know about the Tucker. He died and now the car has been sold 3 times and the new owner is doing a complete restoration.

You did a great job on this video. Kind of wondering why it was a family secret, you did not really say in the video. Was there a grumpy old guy who recently died? Was it the little old lady from pasadena who was the grump?Why did everyone feel they had to keep it a secret? It would add a lot to the story. Great job thanks for putting this one up.

The roll back was needed to get it out of the back yard and taken to the big enclosed trailer.

Im not trying to bad mouth this transport company, but If I bought a classic car like this. I wouldn't want it on a open truck. I have bought many cars out of Florida and had them placed it closed trucks to make it to Dallas

It is nice that it sold for just under $800,000.00. But that was by the second owner after the widow. So how much of a pittance did the widow get?? I think she may have gotten the shaft on this one.

@pixnstix Any idea how much it would take, to restore a limited production car like this ?

[dukesgrill]

@Auggie56 I guess that is something that the new owners will find out. My understanding is it sold un-restored.

7:01 I'm bored

that car is too far tore up to have only 9,900 miles...I have watched the movie about 100 times and have a signed copy by Jeff Bridges.

[Gypsielectro]

@rancheroman1961 Disagree, look at the condition of the carpet by the drivers feet, the bench seat has almost zero wear + sag and the #1 giveaway is the condition of the steering wheel + pedals, hardly touched

[xtpuller]

Damn boys, at least try to take a little care of it! @1:03 you dragged the bumper cause you were too lazy to lift it. Also @ 3:28 you were too lazy to lift the tire so you scooted it on the vehicle. & you are supposed to be professionals with "classic" automobiles? Hard to believe this car is so rare because I have seen several of them at local shows right here in the midwest! Fact is several are owned within 200 miles of 62301.

[Rawego]

so did the lunatic who owned it die, or was he finally taken away and placed in an institution of his choice? :))

[dallaspolo]

@Rawego Im wondering about that myself?

[sushanthsuresh]

why did they sell it!!

[DougCameraMan]

great video. That was cool. I have a video of #19 Tucker, a blue '48 Tucker, on my channel if anyone cares to check it out.

[59ranger]

it just sold for close to $800,000 at auction

[dunn98632]

This might be blassfamy to others but do they make a body that I can put on as chassis like A REPOP TUCKER BODY OF SOME SORT?.

[my31and37]

@dunn98632 Ida Automotive made a fiberglass tucker body...Might see if they still make it.

[jayez2007]

[voicetube]

Over a million!?? Wow, nice find!
