My new old CCX has arrived
Okay its here:
She's an old gal, CCX #151 built in 1983. Original paint and interior, currently has a 428 SCJ backed by a TKO550. I plan to run it as-is for a while and plant my side oiler in it when the weather warms up a bit (and after I finish outfitting my garage and unpacking all my tools and crap from the move). Along with the car are a ream of receipts from recent work done by Nick Acton to improve the car....floor-mounted pedals, proper engine mounts, Smiths gauges, CSX-height rollbar, Watts link, custom aluminum gas tank, the $$ investment that has been made into it is staggering.
Paint is pretty rough up close, some surprises there with a few starbursts I wasn't expecting. Interior is nicely worn, but hey it's 33 years old. Frankly, it looks like a real, unrestored car. It will be fun to race and play with and at some point I suspect I will start to restore it:
