Trust us, if Trevor L. states the original bucks are now buried and helping push up the daisies somewhere in the English countryside you can take that as a fact.

and there woud be no reason for anyone to take offense at the comments and opinions, as we hope you get a lot of money for your car and perhaps you will. However, market indicators would lead one to believe that today, our cars are simply not worth what they were a year ago. that will probably change slowly, but keep in mind that aluminum CSX cars are still being built and dilution will occur and even though originals cannot be affected by dilution, tight money will affect their value also.

Don't use the attach feature, load them directly into your gallery by clicking the camera icon below your name.

Thanks, I put a few pics of the bucks on my gallery. One was still to large. It is a real good closeup but I'll try to get it figured out and put it on.
Thanks

That looks like one of the original 289 nose bucks they gave you pics of. The trunk lid is common between the 289 and 427, so you can say the trunk lid skin was made off the original tooling.
Angliss did employ some of the workers from the Cobra line in the 60's, but over the years many/most retired or passed away. I know the guy who did the upholstery work at Autokraft/AC for many years and even he only started working at AC I recall in the 70's (before joining Angliss). Even if some of them came in after the Cobra period of the 60's, many of Angliss' employees, however, did "cut their teeth" at AC and the skills were transferred along even at Autokraft, so whatever techniques were used to make the original cars were carried over for some period of time.
It seems to me that any car like CSX1001 that originates from suppliers closer to the original scenario has to be worth more than one made all in California (or Africa or where ever the parts have recently been made).

It is interesting that apparently the 289 body buck was kept by AC, but the 427 body buck went in the dumpster. Why keep one, but not the other? |

Thanks Sal.. I still have a beautiful pic of the Bucks that I can't upload to gallery and would like people to see it but it says size too large.
Can I email it to someone who knows how to get it in where people can see it??
Thanks

Use a photo editor to either scale the image to a smaller size or use higher compression when saving to a jpeg.
If you cannot figure out how to do that, you can email me the picture and I can adjust it when I get home tonight. If that is what you want to do, send me a private message requesting my email address. |

You can put the images in your gallery, then when you view them large it will give you the URL which you can come back and use as link.
Nice car. I'd sure like to have one like it. |
