CSX 2019: The First Factory DragonSnake

[Cal Metal]

Here is a picture of Hal Heindel's incomparable CSX 2019, the first Factory DragonSnake. Hal has owned this since 1967. The car is unrestored and has the original Factory paint. 289 cid with 4X2 48mm Weber IDAs. When Hal first sent me this pic, I was reminded of a line from the movie, "Hard Times" with James Coburn and Charles Bronson. After seeing Bronson great pugilistic skills, Coburn told a bystander, "it's enough to take your breath away". No doubt about it.

Note the dash mounted tach. Bet it was a Sun.

Thanks. I do not think that the Dragonsnakes get enough attention. To see a picture of the first still alive is breathless.

That is so great ,to have it survive that intact,

where is the Auto "Hall Of Fame?

Cal:

Is this a current picture or one when the car was being campaigned?

This pic was taken in the late 60s.
