He told The Houston Chronicle at the time that the town had a good response. Some of my clients are asking about it.
He told the Morning News that potential buyers were put off by the price.
Turner said that he had a lot of interest in it, but it was too expensive. Cuban bought the car from someone, but it's not clear who he paid for.
Turner said that the town included a building owned by the fire department, a pond with an alligator, and an old strip club that was "not in good repair."
The building that the fire department owns is in the town.
