CSX3055 is currently undergoing a 2 - 3 year restoration process in the UK that might, finally, make it the car it should have been from day one. (Nobody ever took up the challenge) It needed the suspension sorted, which has been done and now the rather tacky interior is being rebuilt a per a 427, after removing some rather tacky 1970s quilted padding to the doors and dashboard. Once it's been painted it should emerge looking the proverbial million $$$ - and maybe it might be worth that as well. I look forward to getting some suitable snaps of the finished product, maybe this summer?
'Tis a big fearsome beastie and definately good, in theory, for 200mph+ (it used to start getting scary at around 130mph I'm reliably informed....)
