Here (attached) is an MS-Word document that discusses what is known and tries to acknowledge what has been theorized about 920001, 920002 and 920003 plus a couple of other odds and ends that may or may not tie in to the history of those cars or eventual disposition of some of the parts in some way.

Undocumented information and conjecture has been placed in red ink in most cases in this document. Some claims as to beliefs have been made about the body fitted to 915249 (even though this donor chassis number has not often been acknowledged in recent years) and those are not always marked in red but are described appropriately.

As in the past, I would welcome any documentation to support any claim and am more than willing to revise this listing when more than mere claims are brought to my attention.

Please note that I would love to know that some piece of the "original 920001" still exists in some form, but in more than 25 years of collecting data and listening to various stories, nothing convincing has been related about the source of the body fitted to 915249 that makes it seem more likely to be a piece of "920001" than any other possible donor or creation scenario. I don't believe this is a recent invention at all but it does seem that the claims have gotten stronger over time and nothing has changed fundamentally in the documentation since the discussions first were aired. Every time the subject comes up in a serious way, it seems prudent to review what I think we know and relate that to what has been claimed. That review time is taken from other studies and I don't care to spend any more time on this until something truly new is presented. But, it would also be unfair to leave certain claims in place on this thread without noting that they should be subject to continued research if they are to be verified or perhaps disproven.

Best Regards.
