Even with the damage done to AC by Alan Lubinsky, I still think the AC connection to the CSX 1000 series adds value. I would think a connection to the original tooling would be valuable, but apparently it is not the original buck. It would also be interesting to use the original people, yet all of them are probably retired by now. Consider that some people prefer a Shelby CSX Cobra to a Kirkham replica, yet the original Shelby people like Remington, Brock, Miles, etc. are not employed by the current SAI company.
