Marcos Maniacs

Dear Don and others...

I don't mean to sound crass or anything else... However, I made the
same suggestion a couple of days ago about several of us geting
together and restoring the 68. And, i said I would put up $$$ since I
didn't have the room to take on a restoration project of this
magnitude myself at this point without having to sell one and maybe
two of my other motorcars. I know I don't live in the Bay area and
probably never will. However, I personally don't believe that a group
from different places can't get together for the sake of saving a
hidden gem. I am currently in 3 other syndicates including one
restoring a Bugatti that I have personally never layed my eyes on and
won't till next year's Pebble Beach. If ya'll (my Texan coming
through) would prefer to do it on a local basis, so be it and that'll
be fine. However, if you would like a little help from a Texan, just
let me know. if cash is a problem up front, its not for me. Just let
me know what I can do, if anything to sace this. Afterall, there were
so few made and even fewer left. 

BTW, I showed the website to my 6 yo grandson today. His words were,
"Poppy, that's one bad car!" I can't wait till i can show him one in
person and take him for a ride!!!
