ageishecker Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 A preview for the 2014 Scottsdale auction came in the mail a few days ago. One of the featured cars is CSX6024. The abbreviated description said it had a 289. I thought that must be an error. I looked at the website today and sure enough the car has 289 in it. Why would anyone build a 6000 series car with a 289? It will be interesting to see what it goes for. I can't imagine the 289 will help the bidding. http://www.barrett-jackson.com/application/onlinesubmission/lotdetails.aspx?ln=1085&aid=525 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY500SS Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Good catch Al, 6000 series should be fiberglass 427. Maybe the owner didn't want all that power in such a light car. I know it would scare the piss out of me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbymotorsports Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 CSX6024 was sold thru our Cobra dealer in Wisconsin and I believe they are the ones that installed the small block. Probably not too many CSX6000 series cars out there with a small block. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically he ended up with a sturdier 289FIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
