I've looked all over the net for a scan of this article, even looking of ebay and the (now mostly defunct, it seems) magazine publisher, to figure out how to locate a back issue that would have this story. Does any one have a scan, photocopy, or other record of this article?
I would love to see it if there is a way.

They did a story on a CCX 427 and an NAF 289 in one issue, I think it was in 1985, maybe 1984... can't quite remember, but it is what started the madness for me! (The Chuck Beck Porsche 550 Spyder may have been in there, as well.) Of course it was more of a compare and contrast, since it was the big and small block cars, side-by-side. I thought it was a great article, at the time... perhaps it wouldn't be the same now.
