[CUSTAXIE50]

to geebeenz-- what more has to be said on how ,the old custaxie end up after they stopped racing the old girl.if you take the time you will see what you want to know on the roar season.so you know tony krilitech,--now they say he was the main man behind making up the old car.there are a lot who would like to hear his story ,on how he went about making up the custaxie that robbie raced in 1967.i for one would like to know what diff he used in the car,could you ask him to put something up on this car.

This thread seems to have run into a brick wall.

[AMCO72]

It sure has. I think we have all given up trying to decipher the hints and inuendos of Mr Custaxie. What I would like this gentleman to do is to start with a clean sheet and a clear head, and tell us in PLAIN ENGLISH, that we can all understand, his involvement with THE Custaxie......not the replica...the REAL thing. Despite what you say custaxie50, you have NOT told us all that you claim to have....you keep telling everyone that you have 'posted on roaringseason. Well I think I am reasonably educated, and apart from a few hints, nothing of any substance has appeared on these pages. If you do put pen to paper, you will be our hero, as another important piece of the life of THE Custaxie will be down on paper for posterity. Do you think for the sanity of all the contributors to this thread that this is possible?? You could perhaps start with the day you saw the car for sale, then its purchase, your time with it, maybe some mechanical specifications, and lead up to the time you sold it....perhaps you can remember who you sold it too, and even the price you got for it, and it's condition when you sold it. All of this guff is priceless information to future owners. We don't care if maybe you wrecked it for instance, times were different back then and we didn't appreciate history like we do now. So it's up to you Sir......and remember, PLAIN ORDINARY ENGLISH.........I ain't holdin me breath.
