Not Ranked
With both the CSX 2xxx/3xxx cars, original owners do exist, and they can be found in the Registry. NCRS (National Corvette Restorer's Society) does the biography thing quite a bit, not only with original owners (they are rare), but with people who are second or third owners, who purchased their cars many years ago. Makes for some good reading.
Perhaps the oldest original 427 owner is Karl "Fritz" Schiffmayer who races at Elkhart Lake (not with this car). We run into each other every year at the Brian Redman Challenge. I should talk to him about it. It would be interesting to explore the motivations and context in which these cars were purchased. The reasoning is probably more interesting than the outright purchase, itself.
