I also bought a diecast 1/18 model of a Dragonsnake in gold colured paint, it has motion performance on the side. Not sure if this one ever existed. This model is made by Ertl.

CSX3159 was not an original Dragonsnake... I was sold as a plain ol' street car.
According to the registry, the owner (in '67) took the car to Baldwin-Motion Performance to make it a drag-car. They were a big speed shop here on Long Island, that specialized in Chevy's.
They added the funky pipes, etc.
3159 is significant as the first "return-to-the-wide-hip" cars, so says the registry.
