That thing sucked. It was made for college kids dorm rooms and people who have no idea how to cook.

Have your friend get in touch with RN Sothebys. They handle the sell of my significant autos.

That Ford GT is my dream car.

Does she have any Mopar stuff?

mostly old cherried out muscle cars, a few European sports cars(Lambos, Porsches, etc.,) a few 'vettes, some old trucks, some custom Mustangs, as in she had them custom made by Rousch, everything is drivable and show quality, her RV is even nicer than that Prevost but she's not getting rid of it, at least until she's ready for a new one

The grill was sold before it became a "George Foreman Grill". It was a good product, but they didn't have a good marketing plan and was going out of business. Somehow George Foreman came across the product, used it and liked it. And he figured if marketing was the problem, he would buy it, put his name on it and market it himself.

Anyone ever watched the movie on him? He is a pretty interesting dude. He stopped boxing to become a preacher. He thought that god gave him a platform to spread the word and was doing a lot of good. He opened up youth centers for kids to go instead of being in the streets, etc and then found out he guy he hired to manage his money. Not that it matters, but a white guy he became real close to before he started boxing was his money manager and he spend every last dime George had (he had a drinking and maybe a gambling problem).

George had to box again to earn some money. He liked boxing, it was something he was good at, but I don't think he loved it. He went into the job corps before learning how to box in order to learn a trade..

I knew nothing about the job corps until learning that Foreman had gone.

Well deserved. Good Christian man who helped many young Houstonians escape the Fifth Ward and become successful. I also cooked many grilled cheeses on his grill in Highland Hall back in the day.

I'm asking, because a guy I know has a muscle car museum, featuring mostly Dodges and Plymouths, all concours quality.
He has a few Ford and GM cars too, but those are all extremely rare and unique models.
If she has contacted all of the big guys, he probably already knows about her collection.

Here is a link to his website, maybe she should try to contact him.
He's a nice guy, he might have some suggestions to help her.
