Does J-298 still have an original supercharger, or a Gephart? By the sound of the ad it has the original but you never know.

The right hand drive one that was in the ACD museum for a number of years, was a English bodied "Cab C" (5 place, no quarter window) which RM has had at a couple of it's recent auctions. It's worth a tad less (say 20-25%) of what a special roadster is worth.

Hi Randy, the red one I'm thinking of is definitely a first series Special Roadster (Not the long tail that you usually see). On the cover of the Road and Track is the owner (sitting in it) he bought it from (guy looks just like Major Mudd from Star Trek). It's a great great car. There are about 10 of the long tails (both 500k and 540k) around for each of the short
regards, A.J.
naturally the only picture I could find was a model but you get the idea.

Check out this ad, from a German dealer, for a now-sold SJ Murphy Convertible Coupe. They claim this to be the prototype SJ, which would make it J-298 / 2530 (the engine and body from Fred Duesenberg's accident car, moved to a new chassis). Any comments?
J-298 was in New Mexico last I heard, with its owner of many years.
