Yowch. That's a lot of simoleons. Cal, do you have that much in the cushions of your couch, or will you have to sell some stock?:3DSMILE:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but although this is a "factory" DS, isn't it kind of light on racing provenance? Seeing as how you could probably buy a 289 with a whole lot of road racing history for less $ than that, seems pretty steep. That doesn't mean I won't happily offer to store it for you when you buy it, Cal.:) |
The Registry has quite a work up on the car that I will post when I can get to a scanner. It has virtually NO racing history and was pretty much an orphan, not being completed for a long time after the initial work order. A Dragonsnake in name only is what it looks like to me.
These days I don't have a couch so it is hard to look for that change you mentioned. Maybe a diecast 1/18 rendition of a DS might be more in order. |
Cal,
Steve Sunshine and I saw JJ Rodmans DragonSnake up close and personal at the Zippo Vintage Races at the Glen last October. He drove the hell out of that car and had a blast. A real fine car and a real fine gentleman. |
Just Curious
Never paid much attention to the dragsnake. What kind of times where they running?

CAL,

..read the Registry write-up last night.
CSX2472 was originally work-ordered to be built as a factory race car, but never finished. It was put in storage, to get it out of the way. Order came in from Hugas for a race-car, and they decided to use this incomplete car. Built and sold to Hugas at racecar prices; resold by Hugas, after a re-paint job, at a nice margin. ...then, driven on the street. No recorded "prime-time" race history. |
