Rod-

It is fair to say that CSX2557 is an unmolested 1964 competition car.

BTW, I did not say my car was "more real". However, visually, it is a more authentic reproduction of a 1964 competition car than CSX2009, at least in my opinion. If anyone disagrees, please be specific.

With respect to these experts' opinions, I'm really not buying it. With each telling, it gets less credible. Just look at CSX2009 as it now exists: you are trying to tell me that is a "rebuilt race car" that just happened to wind up looking this way? It is obvious that it is a poorly conceived hodge-podge of CSX2002 and someone's idea of a 1964 competition car, that was built to be a trailer queen first and a racer a very distant second, if at all (there is no roll-cage, no race seat, no race mirrors, on and on). Obviously, that is why its value is significantly lower than CSX2557.
