I believe we have nailed this one down. Fox sent me three photos of his former car, which was a Guardsman Blue CSX 33xx car - no oil cooler scoop. One shot, taken from the rear, showed an unusual piece of chrome trim on the lower trunk lid. To someone who has seen one before, it was clearly a Pletcher Ford (PA) emblem. There were only three blue 427s sold through Pletcher - CSX 3334, 3335, and 3339 - and a review of the histories of all three eliminated 1 of those. My notes on 3335 mentioned the name Fox, and the clincher was an old newspaper classified ad I had saved from around 1972. In it was the chassis number 335 (a typo). When Fox confirmed that the phone numbers listed in the ad had been his, we had a winner.
