'Here's a bigger shot of the Firebird...does anyone know what happened to the original car.'
I saw Truman several years ago at Tommy Ellison's. He apparently had found the original car and bought it back, and was in the process of putting together a 400 ram air motor for it. He said he was planning on restoring the car and then selling it a Barret Jackson auction. Mike Moller

Car was sold in May to long time Firebird collector Jim Mino. He has reassembled the car and plans to run the factory stock drags with it. He has been working on it all summer. I think he ran it Pittsburg Dragway a few weeks ago. Truman has moved to Arizona to retire to a quiet life with his wife Denise.

Tom was an incrediable engine builder and great man. I really enjoy hearing about the "old days" and cars he was involved with. |
