Branch Davidian Leader's Car to Be Auctioned

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Reuters) - A souped up Chevy Camaro owned by David Koresh, the slain leader of the Branch Davidian religious sect, will be sold at a Texas auction this weekend, the auctioneer said on Wednesday.

The 500-horsepower Camaro was Koresh's everyday car and has dents from an FBI (news - web sites) tank that struck it during the April 19, 1993 raid in which he and 80 Davidians died and their Waco, Texas compound burned to the ground, said Daniel Kruse of vintage car firm Kruse International.

The 1968 model "muscle" car with a powerful 427-cubic-inch motor has the words "DAVID'S 427 GO GOD" stamped on the engine block.

"This is history," Kruse said. "This is what David Koresh was all about."

Koresh, an aspiring rock and roll musician whose real name was Vernon Wayne Howell, was portrayed by federal officials and fellow Davidians as a fast-living manipulator who used his charm to control his followers.

The Classic Middle Name

It only occurred to me in the early 1990s that "Wayne" was a popular middle name among a few of the most heinous murderers of our time, e.g., the clown John Wayne Gacy (who killed almost three dozen boys and young men in the late 1970s and buried most of them beneath the floorboards of his Des Plaines, Ill., home) and Elmer Wayne Henley (sentenced to six consecutive life terms in 1974 in Houston for his role, with ringleader Dean Allen Corll, in the murders of 27 young men). I began to publish periodic lists in 1996, and soon readers made sure I never missed a one that made the news.

Herewith is the list, as of News of the Weird 809, August 10, 2003:

3. Would David Koresch be labeled a terrorist by today's standards?

With the new Ascroftian laws, how would David Koresch be dealt with today?

5. What happens when he comes back?

Won't he want his car after he rises from the dead? Or will his wings be souped up?
