Great reads, thanks.  The guy that owns the hero car seems like a bit of a douche.  I get the wanting to maintain you privacy thing.  I even get the not wanting to sell the car at any price thing.  What bothers me is that if you could maintain anonymity why wouldn't you allow the car to be shown?  As these cars get older and people still get all googly eyes over them I've come to realize something about them.  Sure, we own them, but in a way they belong to the world.  They belong to every person that has a story about one, remembers one from their youth, etc.  The Bullitt car is that to about ten more orders of magnitude.  That car belongs to everyone who ever saw that movie.  Keeping it squirreled away so your kid can one day drive it is pretty freaking selfish, and if in so doing the car ends up wrapped around a tree prepare for the 9th ring of hell upon your passing.  I guess I just don't understand some people.  Its like the guy with the BOSS rotting away in his backyard that won't sell it because someday he'll do something with it or someday it'll be worth something.  No moron, someday it'll be worth nothing because it'll be a heap of rust sunk into the ground that can't be brought back.
