[Roadsters] 1970 Roadster

[Gary McCormick]

Reminds me of Jay Leno's comment about the Bugatti Royale - "Of the 6 that were built, only 10 remain..."; joking, of course, about the faking that goes on at the highest levels of the classic automobile market.

So - take a carburetor off of a 1500, make a new data plate showing 77HP instead of 85 - voila - instant very rare Roadster!  ;^)

I wasn't asserting that the '70 2000 is the rarest Roadster, I was 
asking if it is. Earliest doesn't mean most rare - fewest made or 
surviving does. If only a dozen out of 300 single-carb 1500s survive, 
that's pretty rare. How many '70 2000s survive out of the 92 that were 
built?
