Apparently, this was designed by none other than Harry Bradley and built by Chuck Miller.  I'll be seeing it along with the "Black Ghost" in Mecum Indy in May.

It amazes me how if just came up after all these years- how can someone hide it and nobody knows who has it ? Wouldn't someone have spilled the beans about who has it ? The again, The RTS Duster 340 was found decades later abandoned in a storage parking lot where it had sat for years outside and no one seemed to know what it was .

Reminds me of the lost Orbitron, eventually found parked in front of a Mexican Porn shop, and full of trash.
