Popular Post CaptainCrutch Posted October 10, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2019 Latest news is I had my SO contact someone from the old fire company at Greystone and they said they don't know who owns it but they're certain it went to a collector so I pray it's still out there. I really hope I can bring her back to Frederick so she can join her sister once again. At this point I care less about owning it myself and more about just knowing it's in good hands. That being said I met a few guys at my grandpa's funeral yesterday that would love to either have her themselves or at least help bring her back to her former glory. 3 Quote Who needs a back yard when you could have a Yard?!

CaptainCrutch Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 Update, I bit the bullet and applied for a SPAAMFAA ad, I sent it to the main page though and I don’t know how it works yet. I did this because I keep having this reoccurring dream where I end up finding it at some farm with a red barn and help the guy slowly fix it up, and everytime I have this dream it gets a little better each time, to the point where when I dreamed about it last night the pain was shiny and glossy and still very wet. I’ve gotten to the point where I’m so bothered by the thought it may be lost that I strive to know. I keep hearing conflicting reports on my trails but no definite proof, some say it was sold to a scrap dealer and most likely has long ago met its demise but some say it’s in the hands of an anonymous private collector. All I know is that it seems like it’s disappeared from the public eye 5 years ago and that’s very worrying. Such a unique piece of history like this deserves to be preserved. I can’t even begin to express my frustration in the fact they gutted the 707 out of it in favor of some random diesel motor that require plenty of fabrication work to it from what I’ve seen. Now imagine my rage if I find out someone tore it apart to be used for a new iPhone or something of the sort. I’d be more comfortable with the situation if it were parted out even, but if it’s still out there, even if it’s just rotting away, I’d be happy. My only hope is that someone will care for it and give it the attention it deserves. It really is a one of a kind... Quote Who needs a back yard when you could have a Yard?!

Popular Post CaptainCrutch Posted September 30, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) Well folks, I almost can’t believe I’m saying this, but the truck has truly been found!

That’s alright really, supposedly the thing even still runs and he puts it around his property sometimes. Guy owns a lot of trucks, it’s in alright hands. Still going to try to get her eventually, but for now just knowing she’s still out there and in safe hands is good enough for me. 1 Quote Who needs a back yard when you could have a Yard?!

kevink1955 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Good to know she still exists, for a while it was looking like it was scrapped. Hopefully the current owner will someday consent to a reunion. Good luck, keep us informed on any movement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t, a little too far away to take a trip during COVID, but someone has gone for me and sent back pictures. I just don’t want to anger the new owner by posting them without his permission or anything. It’s in rough shape but from what I’ve heard it miraculously still putts around his land every now and then... 2 Quote Who needs a back yard when you could have a Yard?!
