Where are the Shadows?

Post by beatlefan »

Seems there hasn't been a Shadow for sale here or on the 'bay for a long time. I'm still in the market for one, so e-mail me if you have a top condition Shadow for sale.

My "registry" is still holding at 19...

I remember when there would be 2-3 every week on eBay!

Still upset that I let one slip through my fingers at a local dealer. It was in poor shape, though.

That is a good question. They were coming fast and furious for a while there and then stopped. I think the numbers were more like 1 a month. On occasion there would be 2 or 3 in a given month.

Chris, I wonder if Marty ever had your old Shadow repaired after the infamous fall?
Geeeesh, I still can't believe I did that.

I google'd "Star Trek movie Khan", and got this :

Wikipedia, go figure! I'd bet they have a solution to the Kobayashi Maru if I looked hard enough. Image
