Dear daytonajim00,
Blackbird #21 was black. Unfortunally it was totaled. Someone is showing a silver car as BB #21 and it is not a Blackbird. Thanks, Greg
Photo of FAKE - NOT REAL BB #21 that is silver. The owner wants everyone to believe it's a real BB. It IS NOT!
If you ever see this car set the owner straight - I hate imposters. FAKE - FAKE - FAKE - Jim Smith

Hi Jim, sorry for all of the misspelling in the previous email. I typed it out in a hurry. The car was wrecked when I picked up my son from his high school shop class. He wanted to show the car to his friends and mechanic shop class teacher. The kids wanted me to do a burnout and I told them that I wasn't going to do this. Little did I know that one of the kids had poured half a quart of motor oil on the right back tire in hopes that if I agreed to the burnout, it would produce more smoke. When we left and I shifted into 2nd gear, the car spun out of control of a cliff. The kid confessed two days later and we did not file charges because no one got hurt too bad and he was a senior about to graduate. This would have given him a criminal record and he would not have been able to get into college. Really sucked, but at least the insurance company paid me more than I paid for the car in the settlement, due to the fact the only resale at the time was to a museum and sold for more than sticker price. Let me know if you need anything else from me.
Thanks again,
Greg
