I purchased csx3225 in 1968 by getting my dad to cosign on a loan as I graduated from college. I spent a week convincing it would be worth more than the $4,995 asking price. I was 6'7" at the time and didn't tell my dad that when the seller offered to let my drive it I couldn't figure out how to get behind the wheel. When I purchased it I found I could just step over the steering wheel and slide in. I removed the seat frame rails and bolted the seat directly to the floor that added head room with the top on. I drove it as my everyday car for the first 4 years. It had 9,000 miles when I purchased it and I added about 48,000 miles over those 4 years. The longest trip during that time was about 800 miles on our honeymoon. I also slalomed the car and went on number of ralley's including several 12 hour SCCA ralley's. Currently the car has about 85,000 miles on it.
