Csx3356

[Tony Ripepi]

Hi Cal,

The stable mate to the Shelby is an SPF GT-40 painted in Gulf colors.......never did have an ERA. The GT-40 is a Flintstones car right now as I just this week got the ring gear and fifth gear to rebuild the ZF transaxel the way I want it. The ZF is new but I wanted a 3:77 ring gear instead of the 4:22 or 4:56 they normally come with, I also changes out the fifth gear to have the engine running at 2300 - 2400 RPM at highway cruising speeds.

The engine is a dart aluminum block pushed to 427 cu.in. with Webers on the top of it......

Later this year I will be able to save shoe/foot bottoms for my passengers and I and stop the Fred and Barney act.

Tony R.

Tony:

Gulf livery---wow. Great choice. Tough to beat in the looks department and a great historical tribute, as well. Way to go.

I know this thread is old.... But Here is a little about the "deal" on CSX3356... Yes it was converted to the "SC format" in the 1980's... By the owner of it then, Bob Panella of Panella Trucking. And fast forward 30 some years and TADA!! I heve the Original "Sunburst" Wheels from CSX3356 for sale here!! Small world... but Where is it now???
