One of my old CSLs, a series one batmobile vin 2275441 going up for auction at R&M in Monterey this month, link is attached. Should be interesting to see if the economic situation the world is in will support their estimate of up to $160k. If anyone here is a really serious buyer for a car like this you are welcome to email me at [email protected] for further info on the build.
One thing I would like to correct, Carl Nelson had very, very little to do with the car, a shop in Salt Lake City, Schneiders did most of the body and paint, a fellow in Boulder did the drivetrain, upholstery by a guy in Boulder, CO and I did the rest other than a few detail bits like applying the decals and mounting the roof hoop which at the time I felt would be better left to someone who had done it before. Car was sold for WAY less than the auction estimates, but in the nineties their rarity and special status was not really recognized by anyone other than coupe-o-philes.
