My recollection is that the five coupes produced in Italy differed quite a bit from the original prototype (CSX2287). Some were closer than others.

CSX2286 was originally intended to be a 427 coupe and started off with a longer wheelbase. But when one of the other cars was damaged, CSX2286's frame was cut down to 90 inches and the car was completed and raced as a 289 coupe.
