CSX3150 has always been unusual. No oil cooler scoop, different front turn signals, different rear lights, larger mud flaps on front guards, different badges, hood scoop, tinted top of windscreen, interior differences etc.
Don't have much time to dig for the many photos I have of CSX3150, but here is one from my gallery when it was blue taken at Bowdens. Enjoy.

If you want some testimony of CSX 3150 during the Golden Ages (in fact, June 66) you can read these article in my "frog" magazine (bought new by my father and carefully kept since). Sorry it's in French !
Enjoy the black & white pictures of the car ! You can see there was no hood scoop, but some rectangular tail lights and sunburst wheels, among others details.
The third page is about 427 Cobras and C. Shelby, and contains an interview of great french driver Jo Schlesser, who was racing some 289 at that time. For the happy guys who can read french, enjoy this short interview, absolutely delightful : how to overtake D. Piper and his P-2 Ferrari ? simple ! Just put into fourth gear, and "bye-Bye Piper" !
