telltale signs of a ccx
Just wondering if anyone knows of telltale signs that a ccx is in fact a ccx visually ?

Horse shack just died and I'm jumping up and down saying pick me for him.
Outside they have low sidepipes that have a slot in the bottom of the body instead of a hole through it. That makes for a big gap between door bottom and side pipe top. The roll bar if it has one is often the short one to fit under the hard and soft top. Front fenders are very radiused on the flare inside and outside edge. Early cars have notches in the license plate to fit on the trunk or a bracket that hangs the plate down over the handle. Radiator stands up straight in the nose on factory installs (like an SPF). Inside the doors are covered with gathered door pockets and latches that are upside down. The trans mission tunnel is very tapered and very wide at the front, especially on the passengers side. Quite a few cars without pin drives have the Compomotive bolt on wheels but many were converted to pin drives so it's hard to tell by that. Peek underneath and you will often see torsion bar E-type front suspension. Some have been modified to a coil over. Rear is typically Jag IRS narrowed to suit the car if it's not an E-type width. A lot of these are typical and not on all CCX's. Sorry you asked yet? That's a quickie off the top of my head other CCX guys will chime in I'm sure. |
Thanks Mickmate ! You gave me more info than a full day is searching in google ! Can't wait to hear from the other ccx guys as well !

They just look better,more pleasing to the eye than most other replicas. (Just my opinion)

You can come look at mine in its "virgin state" any time you want. I'm just on the other side of Mt. Hamilton from you.
