So? $80K for an ultra rare Cammer ERA with good content? (actually a few shekels more to get the footboxes and steering shaft from Peter).
You let Malone's CSX trade higher and hated yourself. When you stopped hating yourself, we took over and hated you for you.  
This is appropriately discounted being 'only' an ERA.

No, no, no, no, no. The Cammer would go into the Kirkham. The ERA would get the POS 482 that I currently own.
The "boat anchor", er, I mean 428, would be tossed into the trash.

Do you remember the gapless ring debacle of about 10 years ago, or is it my imagination?

Nobody that built engines that had to warranty them, used them.

Do I remember right that they were little two-piece jobs that were more expensive, supposedly reduced blow-by, but for some reason that I can't remember, resulted in gobs of oil being eaten up. The explanation was unusual, I remember that, but I don't remember what it actually was.

What I like about Bill's Cammer CSX was that it was built by Bill and his well-known attention to detail. The only negative, for me, was that it was a glass car. But I REALLY liked it.

Has anyone ever thought about a bunch of us joining together and making investments like this and putting them in a "Club Cobra Livery" for resale? Just a thought. I'm sure PT can come up with 26 pages of legal stuff.

Did ya'll know that Bill has his car back? From what I hear, hear he bought it back at a nice discount as well.
