CSX6000?? on Ebay

[JBo]

Correct, my assumption is that it isa BA 6000 series car. There appears to be at least one built according to a highly respected UK author. If it were an AC COB CEX 6000 it would be worth incredibly ( this may be an incorreect use of an adverb)significantly more. There are a couple of serious questions about this car though...the splined hubs & this would be the first . There appears to be a strange mix; to my eye and the darken pictures ; of a custom MKIV and possibly a AKL or perhaps a289 sport. It is the first AC/Shelby/AutoKraft that I've heard of with some sort of vin plate apparently riveted to the top of a front upright...neither are impossibilities...but? What wheels (spline drive ) came with the coiler 289 sports?

One thing for sure, without papers, even with an AK number; unless someone ground them all off; this is not lisencable in the states. A stay away unless you can buy it real cheap or need an alloy parts car desperately.

BTW Trevor, I just found a note to self, I owe you $20 USD pm your address again. Jim

I certainly agree with all of the question marks. It doesn't appear to match the sum of its parts.

The AC 289's came with standard 289 Cobra 6" wire wheels on a splined hub, but as has already been pointed out they also had bolts which could be easily removed to mount the pins for a 6-pin drive assembly.

I'm not familiar either with a vin-tag pop-riveted to the right shock tower. The B.A. Mk. IV's I have looked at had a number stamped on the right tower, lengthwise. Possibly the right tower on this eBay car was ground down to give the impression there had previously been a stamped VIN there, however the explanation that the law said "nothing illegal had been done" seems strange. When confronted with any automobile lacking a VIN, especially when there is evidence that it has been removed (witness the marks of a grinding wheel), they usually impound the vehicle immediately.

I think the recommendation to avoid this car is well taken.
