Csx 4206

[REAL 1]

Bill:

Serious side of my reply to your post:

I'm not that anxious to sell. But I have reached a point that I will sell for the right/fair price. If anyone is interested they can call me at the numbers posted above and I will fill their ears with all the details. The car, as you know is EXTREMELY detailed and very period accurate. Nothing on it or in it that wasn't on or in them back then. The car is as they were.

My avetar pretty much sums it up.

Not so serious side:

Yeah. I would love to get into track stuff. But not with 4206. Too much in it and its too valuable to wring it out on the track. Could I? Yeah. But why when a $40,000 FFR will be just as good for what I need. Problem is I just don't have the time or the mechanical know how.

Am I bored with shows? Yeah. Went to the M&M Mars Show on Memorial Day. Left after 1 hour. Bored stiff. Years ago I enjoyed it a great deal. Can't put my finger on why my attitude changed except I must have "outgrown" that scene. Haven't been to Somerville with the car yet. Tired of answering the same questions over and over and cleaning the ice cream and finger prints off later.

I love driving the Cobra. But its not practical. No luggage. No weather protection. No windows. No A/C. I don't mind but if I want to take the wife and/or kids its impossible especially for any length of time or in the heat or cold weather.

At GT3 (in Speed Yellow of course) will give me the same performance and excitment (probably better in ways) and has A/C, windows and I can drive it distances knowing its reliable and safe with the kids in it and in comfort.

Maybe I'm getting more practical in my "old age".

Keith: Yeah. I hear you. I'll continue to drive and enjoy it in the mean time. It is a rush to drive. Hey, next month I may decide I don't want to sell. But right now I'm willing.
