Actually, they made two.
The 427 coil-spring protos were (I think) CSX2700 and CSX2701 from AC..later re-numbered to CSX3001 and CSX3002, to fit in with the new model series numbering. Wider frame rails, what became the 427 rear clip, with 289 nose. The 289 nose was widened a few inches at each fender top.
This Kirkham is a bee-oo-tiful rendering of CSX3002.
(David, even the original had front flares that look larger)...
A REAL purist could pick up this car and add the square
oil-cooler in front, and the brake-cooling ducts...and have a marvelous 3002-clone...
...just do it with a 289 street dash layout!
