again. Apparently it did at some point.

How would you like to meet that coming down the road at you?

I could see it renting well to local LearJet workers.

If it's so great, why does it require a trailer and truck to pull it with?

As was noted in the "highlights" section of the Mecum auction page RayThom linked to, it was built as a 'one-off' for the show car circuit, which means it's a trailer queen and was never intended to actually cruise the mean streets where it could get scuffed, scratched, wet, or dirty.
