Wayne, I'm a little confussed.
I had spoken with Tom D'Antonio about this a few years ago, and he told me it was CSX3057 that was used. If you look at CSX3178, it is a "street car" that does not have rear wheel-well flares and it also has the non-recessed gas cap common to many street cars. The 4000 fiberglass cars are a perfect copy of an S/C, whereas 3178 had virtually no S/C feature.
I remember seeing 3178 when it was just a bare chassis and body. The
oil cooler scoop was damaged, and the 1/8” body wrap wire was broken free of the chassis at the sidepipe openings. Clearly this car was in no condition to take a splash off of. Meanwhile, 3057 was fresh from Kimmons at about the same time the 4000 program was started.
