If I do not draw another breath my life will have been complete.

Just had a very, very long phone call with Mr. Larry Hickox:D:D

Phil Cooper lead me to him and in my eyes I will never be able to completely repay him for it.

A total of 5 buses were converted.

Originally it was built for JT of Calumet Farms Lexington and Harry Renier, partners who owned the race team that fielded the cars for Cale Yarborough:cool:

The coach then went to A J foyt for a while before landing at First Bank out of Ft Wayne that the George family (brickyard) have controlling shares. Then us.

We both want to stay in touch and will.

Our bus in not an orphan its father lives and wants to reunite:)

I also found out it is still sporting its original paint job!

Wow! Joe that is really cool.

It's great to know the history of your coach.

Well that's cool. I thought you had told me A J Foyt was the first owner.
