Daryll Starbird Museum Pics

Wife and I made a trip to the Daryll Starbird Museum in Afton, Oklahoma...Thought you might enjoy the pics.....

 

I good former friend of mine told me a story once...To me it was somewhat unbelievable to me but he had several other people backing his story so I guess it was true..He says he was driving around Telferner, TX near Victoria and always saw this wierd looking 40s Ford custom with upholstery under the wheel wells and Corvette fenders and a bunch of wierd things done to it sitting in a back yard...He went and knocked on the door and asked the owner about it turns out the owner just had it with a bunch of junk stashed in it and the door open so his dog could use it as a dog house.. They worked out a deal of some kind and my buddy bought the car and took it home. It supposodley had some kind of tiny radiator only used for pulling it in and out of shows. so he could really drive it with out it getting hot withing a couple minutes...He did some research on it and says he found out it was built by starbird and was one of the only missing ones from the collection in the museum.. he contacted starbird somehow asking if he wanted the car and starbird told him NO...so now he went on thinking it was worth a fortune and put on ebay and other places for sale and never could get rid of the car...in then end he was able to trade ir off for a 27 t TPU and thats the end of the story...Just thought I would share a starbird car story that I was told by a former friend.

Glad you could get to Darryl's ! The place is fantastic, and hope you got to see my Manuel Arteche'-Built INVICTA while you were there.

Darryl & Donna are among the nicest, most wonderful people you'll ever meet !

All the best to you,

I did see the Invicta....one of my favorites in the museum!

 

Many thanks ! That Museum is one of the neatest places for R&C gearheads to visit !
And the "Walls" of the Inducted Legends are just wonderful to see.
