Cal Metal is right, as I remember, the top speed was 180-185 depending on what body you ran. The Brock cars have the sloping roofline as the new Superformance cars do and were 4-5 miles per hour faster than the Reminton cars which used a more up right windshield.

CSX-2286 had its wheel based increased 3 inches to fit the 427 in Italy and this was completed but never raced. Right after completion it was brought back to 90 inches and the 289 was re-fitted. CSX-2286 was in the best shape of all the cars as it had only one race on it which it failed to complete (LeMans 1965). Then it was cleaned up and went on tour with Ford's Caravan of Cars. From there it sat in the back of a Ford dealership car lot in LA for some years. In 1969, it was back at Shelby's along with CSX-2299. Both cars were put up for sale at that time. CSX-2299 had its engine rebuilt and was the higher priced of the two since it was also the LeMans Class winner. CSX-2299 was and CSX-2286 were Remington cars.
