6S749 belonged to a very good friend of mine that passed 7/5/2019. Last I knew a dealer had it in Reno for sale. No longer listed so it must have a new home. When listed and probably sold it was grn/white stripes with Webers. Just like to know where it is for sentimental reasons. Originally red with white stripes and may someday go back red perhaps.

There is a dealer that at one point used Ebay allot and always seemed to use the same location for pictures. I don't remember any ads for this particular car but guess you could identify a possible dealer and simply call. Doesn't cost anything to try

6S749 was sold by "Cool Classic's" at their Las Vegas location, it was very cool in green and had a great day two look!

That leaves the one I was thinking of in Reno out.

I know Bob-oldcanuck, on this forum, was asking questions about the car when it was in Reno around May 2021 but did not make a deal. I also understand Cool Classics has a store in Vegas too. Thanks for the kind responses.

Are you going to try to track it down for purchase ?

Not interested in buying 749. Certainly would if I was younger but I already have
6s554. I have known that car since '78 and my deceased dear friend is very much missed, as well as his car. Hope to some day see both again.

I think I was second on the list..... but it never got to me.

I was of the opinion it was a decent example that could easily been brought back to somewhat original configuration.

Cool Classics in Las Vegas did have the car. The had at one time a Reno warehouse and think they transferred their cars to Vegas.

Also, believe it was listed for $145,000. That was a little over a year ago.
