"Burt is in deep financial trouble."

After all his movies and TV series, how could that be?

Sadly it seems that Burt is broke. He’s auctioning off everything but the toupee.

Looks like the estimate is $60-$80K.

Bidding starts at $30k.

You’d be surprised of what you can do in a GM F-Body automobile. When you’re in your 20’s that is. :-)

Drugs or gambling are usually the first place to look.

The Pontiac dealer I used to work at had one just like that in the showroom, I’d get to the shop while it was still dark out, get a coffee and sit in it listening to the morning radio rock show. Also got to drive a lot of them, always a treat to find one with a 455/4 speed as well as the odd RX-7 rotary... Brain says he wasn’t gonna kick her in the butt, he was gonna punch her in the mouth. Stupid PC sanitized dialogue.

His health status took a dive about 20 years ago, and he has looked very sickly ever since. For a few years, there was a rumor that he had contracted AIDs. Hopefully his condition looks worse than what it really is.

I had a 70’ Forumla 400 (Goat motor) RAM Air with an M22 Rock Crusher bolted on it back in high school. Damn I loved that car - it cooked! Speedo went to 160 and looked more like a tach doing so.

Fond... Fond memories. Looking back, It’s amazing I made it to my twenties.

**Not that I could afford to buy it, mind you...**

Fret not! I can put you into a LeBaron convertible! It’s got a few miles on it, but the previous owner was John Voight.
