Hey all, anyone seen this one before??

Wonder how heavy it now is with all the repaints??

$35K in 1979! Wasn't that the price of a house??

This was the blue one that was used and photographed with Ian's grey Classic Revival in the Classic Cars magazine (I think) some time ago! Was a little confused as I had not recalled a red CSX on Australian soil.

Any indication on price?

If the price of a house was $35k in '79 then does that mean she's worth $600k today?
Ouch!

I think I'd prefer yours....

CSX3150 has been around here for quite a while, original right hand drive 427 street cobra. Yes it would throw me for a sec being red as well, as it was previously blue.

I have attached some photos of it. From Brisbane Motor Show in 2005 and also at Bowdens. I also have a photo of the rego label, but that won't upload and just gives an error.

Rumoured to have sold for $480 in 2005 to a then local Brisbane business man. Price range when listed for sale was $450-$550 from memory. Needed a ground up rebuild at that stage.

Sleeping Beauties was the company that restored it to it's current form. http://sleepingbeauties.com.au/ I think Merv was trying to get some photos of the work performed.

Being fully restored it would be worth more money, but in the current market who knows.

Thanks Craig. Sleeping Beauties was only a few hundred meters from our house before they moved. I used to drop on there and check out the restos. They won prizes at pebble beach and Amelia Island for their work. Would be good to see the CX. Any more recent photos?

It's interesting how that car has a number of major variations from how 3150 would have left the factory, like it has round tail lamps, wide rear hip with larger front "mud flap" and no oil cooler scoop, etc. There is alot more to the story on that car than is being offered up.
