Steve,
This fellow names Curtis, claims he bought it from Don Adams, paqid cash
when the series ended. However, he also said Don Adams was a infamous lush
and gambler. Don Adams supposedly used the car he sold in a poker game with
some big wigs at the studio. When the studio head sent for the car Curtis
had a choice. Make a rift with the studio guy, or give up the car. At the
time, $2,500 bucks was a lot of money, but a continued job ment more. He
paid off Don Adams gambling bill by turning over the car. He said it really
paid off later though when the truth was found out. He had more jobs as a
stunt driver and car supplier then ever. The guy seems very straight
forward, no reason to lie to me.
