Let’s just say life has gotten in the way… As some of you know I’ve grown up and spend most of my life in the Middle East. This has given me a fascination with car culture in the Middle East. I’ve been following and looking at Middle East car culture on social media and the internet as long as I can remember. Then tonight I saw this… On @fahd19831 Instagram page. It got me thinking. And now I have to know so that I can hope and pray someone with deeper pockets can resurrect it and be the new care-taker. Is this the original Larry Watson T-Bird?

  4. Hey gang… bit of an update. @gueros_wax_shop posted a comment on my Instagram photo stating it isn’t the car. This thread is probably no longer relevant, therefor, one of the moderators can take it down if they see fit.

    It was restored back to it's original version. Unless it has changed hands recently it is owned by Larry's friends Roger and Marie O'Dell.

    The replica was a hell of a bargain selling at Me*** in 2019 for $19,800 Looks like it was well done.

    That car would glow in the dark. The purple(?) is stunning.
