Nobody knows what CSX 2000 is worth, but we will all probably find out after Carroll passes.

As for the 427's, the bare aluminum car may be a McCluskey or Kimmons bodied 3000 continuation car, or it may be a 4000 series Kimmons car. Could be an original, but I doubt it. For certain it is not a Kirkham bodied car, as the nose shape was different (more elliptical). The red car could have been one of the above too, and perhaps even one of the 'glass cars; again, not a Kirkham.

I am not real fond of the new car, and as others on this forum have stated, saw some drawings that I, too, liked better. It does look a lot like the Audi TT. But to me, all the cars coming out of the design centers look alike. If you don't think so, study a car rental lot sometime..

Of course everyone knows that this is an early mule and to my knowledge hasn't even been blessed for production, so lots can happen, and personally, I hope something does. In the meantime, you can always buy a reincarnation of the beautiful '60's original....lucky us!

Yours in nostalgia..

Bud
