The car was purchased by an unknown buyer in 1976, who was brave and lead footed but perhaps a bit deficient in the driving skill department, since he attempted to race and overtake a beer truck as both vehicles approached a narrow bridge underpass. The driver lost the race and CSX 3181 struck an abutment, throwing him out and into a lake, from which he was fished out by witnesses to the accident.

Rick sold 5R098 several years ago. The current owner has allowed Rick to race it since the purchase. I guess he's now selling it.

Thanks Jay. I always thought that was such a beautiful R model. I bet it brings some serious $$$.
