Sorry, didn't mean to leave it like a cliff-hanger!

(paraphrased from the Registry...)
The first two Coil-spring cars from AC were designated CSX2701 and 2702 when shipped to SA... they were later changed to CSX3001 and 3002 when it was decided to go to the 3000-series for big-block cars.

CSX3001 was shipped as a bare frame and 3002 was shipped as a car. Records at SA show 3001 was shipped to Detroit Styling in Michigan and never returned... probably for prototyping purposes.
...and never heard from again.

S-O-O-O..... CSX3001 was a legitimate bare frame that was never built or titled as a car.

anyone have "Indiana Jones" aspirations?
