    Indeed I have heard of it. I have even had the pleasure of meeting and hanging out with the guy doing the documentary. He is a very cool guy. We spent a few days filming a segment of the doc on the "Last GN Built" here in Louisiana. Had a blast!

    He has interviewed several people and gotten some very impressive material for this documentary. I am patiently awaiting the release!

    It seems to be taking awhile...when was it filmed? the teaser video has been out for several months. A video like this(going by the preview) would further the desireability of the cars-if it appeared on mainstream T.V that is.

    It is taking some time due to the fact that it's a self financed project. Also, he was almost done filming & interviewing when he was put into contact with the owner of the last GN built. He rearranged some things and brought him gear to Louisiana to film an additional segment.

    I am not sure of the current set release date. But hopefully it will be soon!

    Thanks for updating everyone, Barron.

    BLACK AIR is indeed coming. It will be released this year. The film's official website - along with news of our official release date - will be made public very soon.

    Until then, project updates can be found our Facebook page.

    More to come. I promise.

    Clark6 - it will definitely be available on DVD. And as a digital download. No plans for TV yet but, if the opportunity presented itself, I'd surely take it.

    More info to come...

    I have always had a love for TR's, one of my earliest memories was of me on my dads lap manuevering his black T-Type around our neighborhood. Now I own a GN. It's truthfully a dream come true. Can't wait to buy this DVD!
