I'm afraid that's not correct. I have an 11/2002 Titanium with a combo 
drive. It did not ship with a 60GB hard drive, except in a build to 
order config. And Apple doesn't usually sell build to order refurbished 
units. It is most definitely the aluminum model.

To verify, I went to the special deals section and added that model to 
my shopping cart. On the very next screen the part number is listed as: 
  F8980LL/A.

 From the shopping cart:

Items you have selected
PowerBook G4 1GHz/256MB/60GB/Combo/GigE/15"TFT - Refurbished
F8980LL/A
3-5 bus.days
$1,699.00
-----------------
In the technical specs for the powerbooks 
(http://www.apple.com/powerbook/specs.html), the current aluminum 
models are listed as:

Order number
12-inch
Combo drive
M9007LL/A
12-inch
SuperDrive
M9008LL/A
15-inch
Combo drive
M8980LL/A
15-inch
SuperDrive
M8981LL/A
17-inch
SuperDrive
M9110LL/A

The part number in the order above matches the aluminum model part 
number.

Further digging yielded the following part numbers for the 867 and 1Gig 
Titaniums:
867Mhz:  F8858LL/A -- this refurb unit is selling for $1499
1Ghz: F8859LL/A -- this refurb unit is selling for $1899

Hope that helps.
