"Lost" Daytona Coupe — CSX2287
Hi my username is "vintagedr", I just found some postings about CSX2287. Hopefully you can help me with my inquiries. I'm currently researching the history of the "Lost" Daytona Coupe. I'm confident you know it was the only Coupe of the six built in the US. This particular Cobra ran in nine international races that included Sebring, Reims, Spa-Francorchamps, the Tour de France, etc. When the car was retired Breedlove brought to Bonneville and set 23 new speed records. I'm trying to find anything and everything photographed and/or written regarding the history of it's racing accomplishments, it's downfalls, the '64 pit fire at Daytona, the Breedlove/Bonneville records. I am collaborating with a master model builder in Texas and our goal is to document the history of this coupe with 1:18 scale precision diecast replicas. Any photos of the Coupe during the nine races it ran, and in particular it's history at Bonneville would be GREATLY appreciated. Also, one of you seems to know what words were on the door panels when Spector "owned" it. Look forward to hearing back from anyone who could help. Thanks, vintagedr.
