Default Csx 2019 dragonsnake in mcr
CSX 2019 is in the Feb 2010 issue of Muscle Car Review. I did a quick internet search & learned the car's history. (much of it from old CC threads) I was surprised to find out it had resided just a stone's throw from me for the last 30 something years in Rochester, NY!

It was the first Shelby Dragonsnake & was driven by a very close friend of mine (John Hart) while rented by MGM for the Elivis Presley movie- Viva Las Vegas. (He was in the film & played the part of Elvis' Chief Mechanic). He said it was an awesome car to drive.

Anyway, great article, great history, great Car!

Here's a link to a video of El Cid that I found on the net:
