Its local here in Fairfax. You should come take a look this weekend;)I'd love to snag a slantback and with only 20k on it, too. I'll get the woman on it ASAP.:jump:

I wonder what the reserve is....

Oh, so this isnt really even an "original" slantback??? I thought it was.

My bad. Guess "It is one of ONLY 39 manufactured in the world!!!! " is a bit misleading ;)

Sorry all for the confusion.

I drove a H1 with a CalGold slantback for a week when I was at SEMA, rear visibility was pretty much non existent. The slant back looks v. cool, but for viz reasons I wouldn't get one.

FWIW I've seen '03's sell for low 50's of late, and the occasional '04 drop below 60, which makes for much better value in my book.DAMN

'04 below $60K??? That's too bad. Over 50% depreciation in 2 years.

No, it's a factory slantback. Notice how the tailgate piece is integrated into the hatch?

The Calgold models use the existing tailgate from the truck.

WOW, KBB only gives a private party value in excelent condition of $44.8K.

Guess that doesnt take into account the rareness of the vehicle though.

I think Phil was just using the Calgold as an example since it's very similar in design. But I'll give you credit for at least thinking it was a factory slant at first. :D

I don't know how valuable they will stay/become. There has to be a market in which they are coveted in order for the value to be there. I'm not sure how big that market is or will become.

If my memory serves me correctly California Gold manufactured AMG's factory SB shells.

If someone can figure where in Fairfax it is, I will go by and look at it for Ken. I fly into DC in the morning of the 21st. I have a home in Fairfax and will take pics and post.

Well, the wife was on here a while ago and didn't mention this or post up, so I guess she's not interested.:(

I think the slantback has more potential in the long term for resale because of the rarity, which means I wouldn't wheel one personally. I'd just let it out on the nice days and hope for some appreciation in the future. Sad I know... Actually, pretty pitifull.:o

I didn't think so. Didn't CalGold take legal action against AMG for "stealing" their idea?

I think that, coupled with production issues, caused AM General to halt production after only 40 or so units (some of which were actually reverted into other body styles leaving 37).

I remember there being a lawsuit over copying the "look" of the shell. I thought the resolution was that Cal Gold got a contract to build the shells for AMG. I could be off, I have not read up on it for at least two years.

Blue,
There were 39 factory slant backs.

I didn't think so. Didn't CalGold take legal action against AMG for "stealing" their idea?

HAHAHA, I don't know how, but I missed this earlier. I still have all my teeth!:giggling: Plus I am afraid that I may hear the Banjo's... I just came back from there. Some of them inbreds scare the shiat out of me.

I havn't moved to WVA yet. I am thinking of just buying a place there to go and get a way every now and then.
