Tom and I have been talking about this car for some time. I have the first of the non-FIA 289 comp cars that the Kirkhams built. I sent them many, many pictures of the rear flares on CSX2138 (Original Team Comp Car) to get them nailed.

This car differs from mine in that it has the wider front flares like an FIA (mine has slabside front flares and has spats being installed behind the front wheels as we speak). This car is similar to Tom Payne's red racer CSX2430 now in the Shelby American Collection. However there were no cars ever made specifically like this with the LeMans vents and the welded scoop (2430 has a riveted scoop) standard trunk and the joseph rear flares --- but it looks gorgeous and could make a really cool period correct looking 63-64 Comp Car.

Well done guys.

Mike
