The car is csx 3225. The car is a street car. Originally had a 428 engine. Changed the color from Ivy Green to Tropic Green Firemist (1968 Cadillac color as I remember) in 1970. Repainted the car in my garage in 1980. Now has Trigo wheels, 427 S/O, Konis, front sway bar, hood scope and side exhaust.

Purchased the car in 1968 with 9,000 miles and used it as my everyday car for the next 4 years adding about 48,000 miles. Did some drag racing, slalom and rallying on weekends. Put 1,400 miles on the car during our honeymoon. Sat in storage for a number of years while I worked overseas. Now has about 77,000 miles.
