If you can afford $650,000 you are a person of financial means. So why by a continuation/ kit when with little time and effort find a real csx2000 car for perhaps 750-850?

Interesting about changing colors! I bought #0194 which was red but originally lime green and repainted it white to match #0962!

Forrest Straight would be best for info. Know he had a number of them and opened track them!

Also, the seller says vin# is 0748

There's a post on Facebook from Steve's Auto Sales for a blue '69 GT 350 for $69,000. The vin # coresponds to a '69 Red GT 500!

AL ten spokes also not original.....aftermarket with no slight taper!

The 10 spoke wheels look aftermarket.....no slight taper.

Interesting. Air hood with no air!

Jeff, the colored pictures are the ones! Took those in my parents garage! Interesting thing was I decided to take all the smog off and put plugs in the holes! Took almost 2-3 hours. When done fired it up drove a block and then it just stopped! Didn't know you couldn't just disconnect without retiming.Was at the age...22...where I thought I knew everything! Put it all back and never tried that again! About 6 months later I bought CSX2192. Had both till late '69. Who would have know the future value as they were every day drivers....not the Cobra in the rain though....it leaked!

Thank you Bob. So most likely the breather cap on 0962 was an error. The engine compartment picture I have is dated June '67 about a month or so after i bought it. Too many memories @80!

I'm confused. My '67 GT500 (#0962) had a breather cap on the valve cover and had a thermal smog set up. Somewhere in tha archive there is a picture of the engine compartment.

Thank you Bob! I missed that! Aging is really taking a major toll with my mine!

Thank you Bob! I missed that. Aging is really rapidly taking over my memory!

Also, the valve covers are different than what my car came with and had a breather cap not a cap as in the picture. Just an observation!

Bob, interesting observation about the picture being about valve cover! Thought it looked like spark plug removal/install as there are a lot of combinations of tools on the fender. Remember such a feat and always crack one or two which lead me to always by ten!
