OK guys--

This was my original complaint----

1) Automatic trans--but I didn't read further that it is a four speed top loader--an original--a good thing.

2) The strpies---these ARE NOT part of the original 40th Ann. offerings---they put this car in the class of other CSX's--great cars but not true to the 40th Ann. model. Though it does have all the other goodies that a 40th Ann model has--the stripes--IMHO--does it in as a collectable 40th Ann model.

So, I'll stick with my original view--$145k for something that is NOT a 40th Ann. offering in its ORIGINAL (without stripes) form will not (IMHO) be worth this sum..............
