The Marlboro Syclone
This particular Marlboro , #2872 of the estimated 3000 Syclones built, and 1 of 10 Marlboros built, is owned by our own F.A.S.T. team leader, Chris "Chrome" Pearson. We'd like to thank Chris for his efforts in bringing this immaculate truck to shows for us to gawk over and his kindness in letting us sit in, sometimes drive, touch, and drool over something we cant own.....yet!
