Default That must have been him...and CSX2323

With a name like that, there must be a story but I don't know what happened to him....I have a Portofino Blue Superformance with a red nose bar that I intended to look lilke the Gurney/Grant car #146 and when I was doing my "research" I would come across "Tombstone" quite often, but I haven't got around to digging up the story (Google?). CSX 2323 in it's original livery is at Bruce Canepa's Museum in Scott's Valley Ca. It was a riot to see those cars in the 60's. The Italians had never heard a big (289) American V8 and they would just go nuts when the mechanics would start them up. I might see Bondurant this winter and if so I will ask him.
