For Sale: CSX2601

I've not seen a link to this before so I'll drop the word - does anyone want an old, used Daytona Coupe? Rush off to GTC Mirage in Scottsdale with all that folding you've got stuffed under your matress and buy yerself a bit of automotive history. I see that Bob Bondurant used to own CSX2601, so that might just put $100 on the price tag. I hear they ain't makin' these no more. Possibly. Maybe.

Trevor,

I think you can buy a shiny brand new one from McCluskey with an official CSX serial number. I'm pretty sure I saw that in a book you wrote recently.

That reminds me, are you attending the SAAC convention in a couple of weeks? I could bring along a couple of books that could use your autograph.

Great question, will you be at SAAC33?
I would love to meet you as well, handshake would suffice for me. Maybe Goodwood vids???

I really meant they aint making the 'gen-uine' thing. I agree that a McC is arguably better than an original (and I'd be a happy bunny if I owned one!!) but I was wondering what the price on the windscreen of 2601 might read..? It's just that my September issue of Octane fell through my door today and there's a half page ad for the car. Or allegedly that car.... :-) right opposite the 'Carroll Shelby' page - such symmetry. This month he regales us with the saga that the Chaparral and the Cobra both originated from his association with Dick Hall when they set up their sports car dealership in Texas. So now you know.

Err, no, sadly not at SAAC this year (again). I guess it's mostly a matter of finances to be honest - that and the fact that the first Mrs.L would appreciate a few days in downtown France, to escape the daily routine - so I guess it's no contest. Ahem. However, if I can work a few deals and a couple of future book projects come together, I do hope that another SAAC visit might be worked into my schedule. I'd love to say Hi to everyone....why you folks live so far away? Send me photos! Have a great weekend!! And many more....

Atta Boy! Since the (o\ l /o) book is over, I couldn't think of a better thing to do
