Tony Hogg (Road & Track Editor) old CSX 427 car?

Wow - 9 whole days and no one has anything ERA to talk about on Bob's forum. What's going on? I could tell about trying to mount my header pipes on the wrong side of the engine - but it's kind of embarrasing.

So. . . . I was curious if anyone knows the whereabouts of the 427 Roadster that was owned by a Road & Track editor, Tony Hogg in the 70s and also the CSX number of the car. He wrote a great article about buying it and the experience of owning it in the July 1974 Road & Track. That article first peaked my interest in the old cars and I still have it in my magazine stack. I know he died a while back but I think he owned the car for some time.

At the time it was a silver 427 street roadster, narrow hip car - no SC mods. The story represents it as a 427 motor car and it had a dual quad intake but the carbs are Carter AFBs. The wheels are hard to make out but could be FIA or 427 Halibrandts.

It was originally my intent to build as close a duplicate of it as possible with my ERA but somehow the silver paint got sidetracked for black instead.
