Dave Kindig from “Bitchin Rides” restored one (number 3 of 12) in 2013-14. There are only 9 known to exist and only three are restored. It took 19 months, 27,000 hours with 5-12 people working on it full time. I would hate to see that bill!

They are very rare, beautiful and an important bit of GM automotive history.

Here is a link to that restoration. https://www.rgj.com/story/life/2016/08/06/meet-star-auction-block-1939-futurliner/88338992/
