My informed sources tell me the car is silver. ;) Perfect color for a Cobra. :D

Congratulations on the new arrival Steve!

I actually started a thread about the car when it was on eBay.

Steve,

Adding to the fleet I see ... now you have a stable mate for the SPF.

Pretty soon you will have to decide, do I take the green one or the silver one to breakfast ... decisions, decisions. :):)

Congratulations !

thank you all- I will be doing a compare and contrast study on the Web about the differences in a CSX vs a SPF--more to come !

That is a sweet car and a good score, congrats. Let me know if you need any help with the roadster stuff.

This car will be a 428 Street car, (roadster ) so i am looking for suggestions and help in the undercarriage exhaust portion ---

Question : has anyone built a 428 Street version of a CSX 4000 car >?

I was at Canepa Design yesterday; bruce is restoring CSX 3357 --and *that* car I will use for a reference in some things - but they have not installed the exhaust yet -- and the manifolds are hard --if not impossible to obtain.

--Ideas >?

mickmate 05-17-2009 06:48 PM

I can help you out with exhaust, dash, ashtray box, battery tray, splitter, fuel cap and neck. I'm building a 4000 bodied street car for myself. I'm making tri Y exhausts for me and a well known restorer right now.
