Re: TR 256

Actually, Bud, it's called the TR650. One appeared in Pittsburgh a couple of 
years
ago. A picture was published in our club newsletter and later picked up by 
several
other club newsletters around the country. It also sported Cadillac rear 
overriders.
Mercifully it became parts shortly after the picture was taken.
