This aftermarket wing was just like the Shelby wing except it had a strip of LED lights molded into the center of the wing to act as a 3rd brake light.

Now that would be sweet!

The vacuumd diagram on the hood is the only decal found in the engine bay. These cars did not have rad. support decals.

Here's a pic of your car just for fun at my home near Gettysburg over a year ago. It used to be owned by a friend of mine...

Chris,
that is a beautiful car. Mine is #232, had it since new. pretty ratty with 130.000
miles right now. had all the rust repaired. getting it ready for paint. I paid 12,000 bucks (it was a leftover from 89 when
I bought it in 90 for 1/3 off) for this car new (with recaros) and have gotten quotes for 7500 and 8900 for painting here on LI (new york)
recently. ughhhh. however, both these guys are restoration specialists and will do an awesome job, but
its a lot of money, esp. for a teacher like me. it rusted along the sills and the spare tire well pretty much
disappeared.

can't wait to get it back in great shape like yours. don't tell me how much you paid for it, its probably
less than my paint job is going to cost.

this is a great site! can't believe I just found it.

Welcome to the site!   Good to hear another CSX is going to be saved.   I've been enjoying this car since i bought it back in March...  Probably a bit too much i've been driving it like everyday and it was supposed to be a weekend only vehicle.  Having too much fun with it... I get a lot of people askign me questions about it when i'm out and around since its so rare.   And yes, i'll keep the price to myself as not to cause you too much pain... Your car will be so much nicer when its done as my paint job is good from far but far from good...

Welcome Dennis. As a former Long Islander I feel you about the rust. One of the things I like about living down south is the lower amounts of rust.

thanks Robert. yeah, rust is a pain. of course, I didn't notice for some time that the spare tire well was filling up with water in the winter. melted snow somehow got in there. eventually, it just pretty much disappeared. oh well.

now that its repaired, I've got a whole bunch of rustproofing in there, and sealed up the rear lights better, apparently water gets in through them quite easily. seems to have cured the problem.

this is a cool site.
