I sold the BulletTruck to a collector in Minnesota. It is a heated garage there with all of his other custom vehicles, so it is definitely not rusting. Just the opposite. He is saving it for posterity.
He had his crew paint it Ferrari red. It is not back together yet. He intends to install all new sponsor decals on it when completed.
The last I heard he was going to run it briefly during the summer. And possibly drive it to the Bonneville Salt Flats hauling his Bonneville race vehicles trailer there. That should make for quite an entrance, even for Bonneville.
When he picked it up, he left my house in Connecticut and deadheaded (drove with an empty trailer) to Youngstown, Ohio, where he loaded. He then drove home loaded to Minnesota and he averaged 15.1 mpg doing so. Mostly level grades on this route, of course.
