Yeah, she sure does, Steamo. I'm not 100% sure, but there's an oil spot under the engine, a newer bottle of WalMart brake fluid in the ash tray, and the tag looks current (2013, anyway); based on these clues, it looks like it might. I asked the guy in the gift shop, but he said he wasn't sure if it ran, or not. Rob

- Do they have two Blumo's? Ghostman takes this pic two months ago of the one with vent windows and small speaker ... Then I noticed they took delivery of a Blumo with a big speaker, no vent windows ... I noticed these very recent pics of big speaker, no vent windows ... Here's a better pic from last July ... - www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.430637103720763.1073741857.304046876379787&type=3It would appear the big speaker, no vent window is their full-time Blumo now. So what's happening with the small speaker, vent window Blumo?

Looks like the roof is crushed.

Looks like the roof is crushed. It's just kinda sad and pathetic. You can see from Ghost's pics that at one time they must have just put the heavy speaker directly on the roof ... And the speaker and support has actually sunk back into the roof. How heavy is that speaker?? Maybe the first roof dent was from their first support collapsing, and now ... Jesus H. Not sure if it's been mentioned anywhere else but this is a 1977 Royal with a '74 clip. $500 cash should take this Blumo Let a fan bring it back to life!

- This might be a pic of the first roof dent in progress ... It kinda looks like the speaker is making contact with the roof there. Also seems to be a bungee cord, or rope, or something holding the speaker.

I was emailing with the seller my last question was does it roll and steer and does it have a clean title, I haven't gotten a response yet. Here's the rest of the conversation, it reads bottom to top; I understand. I am sorry that I cannot answer the other questions for you. The roof has damage from an incident with a light stanchion.

I can't believe more people aren't all over this, its the closest to owning a real Bluesmobile that you can come not counting BB2K Fords. Can anyone who has seen it in person give me a run down on the condition of this car other than the obvious stuff in the pics on here?

Unless someone buys it out from under me I'm buying this car, I'm just waiting on the seller to get back to me.

So the GM of the House of Blues calls my cell while I'm at work, I ask him to give me 5 minutes because it was time to punch out and if I moved I could lose the call (reception sucks in the shop), he says I'll call you back in ten minutes and I never hear from him again. Hopefully he calls me tomorrow.
