Stumbled across a Hemmings article dated 8/9/2013 " A BIRD IN THE HAND" about Doane Spencer T Birds before the second one went to auction in Auburn Ind. I thought there was only one. The second one Doane built for a buyer with the left over parts from the original Blackbird after he redid and upgraded the original in the 80's. Dave Stone has the original Hollywood Tiger. Bruce Myer won at pebble Beach Concours with the Doane Spencer 32 Highboy. Doane unfortunately died shortly after he appeared at SUNI II.

While talking to Bill Vanvelkinburg with his Harrington Tiger he said that his engine rebuild was one of the last if not the last engine Doane ever built. I have seen a couple of his cars and they are all beautiful and ahead of their time.
