[Jeff Smith]

Just an FYI.....
Twister Suburban
*note* this is not mine, I just found it and thought somebody might be interested....It DOES have a lightbar anyway

This would be great to have restored and placed in Wakita, Ok somehow!

That would be very cool. I could see a chaser wanna be buying this too....if they find out.

We need to see if we can get Bill Paxton to buy it and make the donation (or someone else from the film).

Oh man... I would love to drive in around in Jonas' vehicle. Here's a shot of it when it was in better condition (except for the windshield):

Aside from the faded paint...I will say it looks good for getting impaled by a radio tower and swept up by an F5 tornado and slammed to the ground and blown up.

I wonder how they came to have Jonas's truck? If you've ever been to the Universal Studios Twister ride, they have Dusty's bus and the station wagon outside as you walk up to the entrance.

Looks like Preacher's Country Squire behind the bus too.

I think the guy's real name is Billy-Joe Bob, the inspiration for Twister and he stole it 'cause he thought Jonas Miller's team was real.....he IS from Oklahoma, you know

The more I talk to chasers in chatrooms, I think we should all seriously consider, donations from all storm chasers, spotters, locals anyone, and get a movement started to purchase this and donate it to Wakita Oklahoma's Twister Museum, what a great thing if we all could do this, if we all gave a little it would add up very quickly!

That's a great idea, Rocky. I'd throw in a few bucks!

I agree, this would be a great gift to their museum and a very fitting home for this piece of movie history. Just be careful of any flying radio towers while driving it to Wakita.

 

[Adam Lucio]

I like that idea too, too bad it couldn't lead the parade this year!

Edit: I mean last year lol

 

[Verne Carlson]

Someone local should contact the seller and see if they'd like to donate it. They may not even have thought about donating it or know about the Twister museum in Wakita.

Did we miss out on this or what?

It was way over-priced. I would have considered donating to the cause if it was 1/2 or less of the asking price.
