First SC (CSX 3021) to be auctioned

[RedEsprit]

Who needs Congress? Little Bennie Bernanke is going to issue his own money now at the Fed. Surely, an SC with less than 4,000 miles would be a better collateral than CMOs (Collateralized Mortgage Obligations) or any other toxic crap the banks have hidden in Level 3 assets. Now is the time to start a bank. Lets start First Collectors National. Asset-based lending only. Only lend against collectible vehicles. Can we get it done by January 2nd so we can buy Turner's SC? Maybe we can just become some "pork" added to the coming Big Three Bailout.

I know where the other Gold One is
And, it's all original(more than any other S/C i have ever seen)with it's original paint.

You are no doubt talking about its "recently uncovered" original paint, right?

It has truly been a carcheological experience working on 3047. It is hard to believe the car has never been hit. I am not sure how many others can make that claim. Little minor dents and dings from being parked and leaned on, yes but no incidents with other cars or those tree's that usually jump out in front of COBRA's.

I remember seeing the other gold SC at Gette Ford (Milbrook, NY) in 1973 or 4. At one time, it belonged to a strange, semi-hippy couple that I had by a total coincidence, met when I lived in Rhode Island in 1971. It was sporting the LeMans engine kit (aluminum medium riser heads, water pump, and vibration damper), and according to Carter Gette, was the quickest 427 Cobra he had ever driven.

Mark, that's the same car (3047) that Gette owned that has recently had a repaint removed to expose its original gold paint. This thread got me thinking - what if fate had directed 3021 rather than 3121 into your life many years ago - I wonder how that would have played out.

I remember when Carter had #3047. Carter was my room mate in school and a good friend until his passing. I bought the Blue 427 Carter had (CSX#????) when he was working at Westfair Ford in Westport, CT (I was working at Rye Ford at the time). I remember a few rides in that car. #3047 was fast! I think it was faster than the 'cammer' he had later. Always wondered where #3047 ended up as well as my car. I can't find any supporting paperwork (CSX #) for location of the blue car I had the good fortune of owning briefly. Is the 'cammer' still out there?

Ned,

That would be the one! New old paint 3047, what a car. The car is a true original in every sense and a great pleasure to view.

Hopefully we will see it at SAAC34?
