I just finished watching a video, sold at Autozone. It has 3 segments to it. 1 the cobra 2 the GT40 3 Shelby Mustang.

They showed the rear of 3017 and I noticed that there were 2 leather straps securing the trunk. I have never seen this before. Did all Comp and SC cars have this adaptation??

mikie..

CSX3017 was a Comp car. No, that was not a 'standard' deal.

Did they ID the car as 3017? What was the color; did it have "meatballs"?

Ron,

The car had number 219 on it. It was blue/white with white pipes. The announcer stated that the car was regulary run in the vintage races. 427 with single Holley, The hood had a seal around where the turkey pan would contact it. It had firesone racing slicks on it.

The video is copywrited in 1985.

CSX 3017 was originally invoiced to Ford of Canada. The first owner was Dr. JA Easton of British Columbia who paid $9,650 for the car. It participated in a number of hillclimb events. It has changed hands a number of times.
