Want A Tucker?

One is up for auction. I imagine January 21,it'll still be on my bucket list.

A man and his dream...

Cool beasts.

Should bring a decent coin but who knows since it isn't the original color.

It was the 70s when it was repainted, but even so that brown color was not a good choice.

Brown wouldn't have been my first choice, either. But, I have seen some pretty similar color going on new cars, recently. Regardless, it wouldn't stop me from buying it, had I recently won the lottery

Man, I really like the color.

I wish they would repop bodies for them, I would build one in a heartbeat

They did repop resin-infused bodies to make licensed continuation cars. But they won't sell just the bodies, you have to buy the whole complete body. They run a Cadillac Northstar (with optional twin turbos!) for a powertrain instead of the Helicopter flat-6.

I was thinking more LS4/f40 6 speed than deathstar

I have lusted for a Tucker ever since i saw that movie when i was 8. It's my "if i were filthy rich i'd buy one at any cost" car.

For a client and we are both aware it its going to be a while to find one for him. I will make him aware of this one if he is not already/.

I'm pretty sure that color isn't a huge factor for the average Tucker shopper.

What is this likely worth? On my big lotto winning list.

This one is supposedly "correctly restored",so I don't know how comparable. But, it sold for almost $3million in 2012. And I have to say, that might be the only car I've ever seen in that color that I actually really like.

Man, I loved those when I was a kid. When I was probably 8 or 9 my parents brought me to a car museum that had one because I was already obsessed w/them. The one there was champaign colored which means there are only 2 or 3 it could have been! I think I used up about 3 rolls of Polaroid film on that thing. Must still have those photos somewhere...

I wonder what the highest mileage Tucker out there is at? What was the longest road trip ever taken in one?

Those things are ugly.

my grandfather has loved Tuckers as long as i could remember. he traveled the country going to the Tucker convention every year for many, many years. These cars, although never hugely popular, where so far ahead of there time.
