Something doesn't smell right with csx 4048, I think if you put together a time line and look at the previous advertisments posted by Stephen and comments by Steph I think he's probably telling porky pies. The bloke I saw with the car looked like a pretty flashy dealer and I've since seen him driving a late model Maserati. Did he pay $700K; I don't think so. I also doubt he is as humble as he would appear.

Waddu mean he's an Anglican.............. Don't tell me that........I mean I am an Anglican who married a Catholic on the basis that the Irish Priest who married us told me that was the only way that I'd EVER get to go to heaven !!
Geezus does that mean that I've wasted the last 40 yrs thinking I'd found a way so sneak into the joint by the back entrance !!

Thats funny !!!

Although i would think a lot of Catholics would get very upset with the qoute "back entrance " and ""Catholic "" in the same sentence ....

Definately more to it that meets the eye. Generally someone that can afford $700k for a car would not have got to that position making bad investments and uneducated decisions. But i suppose there is always an inheritance.

There was an original 1964 dragonsnake on milliondollar auctions today that went for around US$500k. Im not sure how old the episode was but it was going to the shelby museum.

Hemmings recently sold a very early 427 car. CSX 2000 series for well under and it had an interesting race history etc. Now that's real.

Not saying that the CSX4000 series are not real..

Looks great. I was never really interested in Mustangs before the Cobra, but now I see them a natural next/other car. They are so "Ford" and have so many variations.
