Howdy,
I want to build a Daytona. I took pics of a FFR coupe to work and 1 of the guys that I work w/ said that he knows where a real Daytona is at......just sitting under a tarp in a barn by his house (in Bum****, Arkansas). :eek: Says he can get the car for free! :D Told him 1 just sold for over 3 million dollars. He said, ya, but this ones not restored. Told him the car wasn't restored either. He then said that this car had been in storage for 20 years. I told him that the car had also been in storage for 20 years. I told him that I "know" someone that would give 2 million for the car w/out looking at it....all he needed to know was the CSX number and where to pick the car up at. At this point he wanted to change the subject. :confused: Gee. I wonder why.;) Another guy says he knows where an AC cobra is at....just sitting in a field, behind a barn. :p Ooops, here we go again.%/ |
This ones sitting in my side yard, has a BCX number, only want a few grand for it, might take a trade.

That pic is of CSX 2287--the Prototype Coupe. Search the AutoWeek archives and you will find an article on it. That was the last one of the group to find its way into a collector's hands.
You can see the CSX tag on the footwell box. The script "227 mph" was on the car when Phil Spector owned the car before Mrs. John O'Hara took possession. This car was party to some legal wrangling before it was settled out due to a custody of ownership issue. |
I've got one at my house still in the original paint scheme from it's last race--doesn't run--yours for $150:rolleyes: :LOL: :LOL:

Although.....
...after looking closer at this picture... ...this could be the REAL, ORIGINAL lost BCX Coupe!!! Gotta get back there with more film! |
Howdy,
The pic I posted was snapped by the guy that was telling me about the car. Gee, it is a real Daytona then! Ooops, my mistake....I downloaded that one from the internet! I didn't even bother to ask the guy 'bout the AC Cobra. |
It is beginning to appear that there are more lost Daytonas in existence than "lost" souls on this Forum.........

What's the number???
Cal Metal I have seen the coupes plus the super coupe and the Willmont coupe. I have not heard of the BCX coupe at all. Mike McClusky built a coupe on a totaled frame for Lynn Parks? I thought a read this in one of the books. Shelby owned one and sold it. He had another one built or bought one of the orginial 6. So what is the real true number with CSX # . I have the #'s as CSX 2287 the first, 2601,2602, then 2286,2299,2300. The 30 year missing car was the first 2287 that Phil Spector own. It set the records on the salt flats. The history on these cars gets stranger every year. Thanks for your time. Rick Lake Is the Willmont coupe a CSX # car?? I thought someone had a picture of the cars for Shelby 50 party last year. Have to go back and look at the pictures. Thought I saw 6 coupes in the picture?:confused:

Only six Daytona Coupes built by SAI. The Prototype built in the U.S. by Cal Metal Shaping (2287); the other five built by Carrozeria Grandsport of Italy.

Rick, Mr. Bruce is having a little fun with you. The BCX Coupe is his own creation, crafted by his own two hands, and looks like an IMSA-fied Daytona. See my photo gallery for some shots of one of his more "conventional" Coupes in semi-finished form.
Don't forget A98, the AC-built Coupe that was wrecked at Le Mans, when listing the Daytonas and their offspring. This was the car made famous when top-speed tested on the M1 motorway in England-- Bob |
Super coupe??
Cal Metal You did the work on the first 2287 the spector car that was found after 20 years of hiding. The T65 was finished in 81 off of Brocks blueprints and drawing. Does it have a CSX number? I know that the GT-40's and the King cobras stopped this car from being made. The Willmont cobra was done by AC? All the car bodys are not the same from what I have read. Each was twicked and that the was due to the wear on the bucks of the body. You started with Brocks first set of wood models? Thanks for the info. Thanks Bruce on the pictures of the mystery cobras.:confused: :rolleyes: :( Rick Lake

The SuperCoupe was built on an AC coil-spring chassis and carries the number of it, CSX3054
