The only identifier is the VIN number that is welded to the large tube frame on the drivers side in the engine bay. The guy I bought it from didn't know anything about it and had it in storage for the past 15 years. He had no paperwork other than the title.

Even though it's titled for the street, I think it was raced as the exhausts are 2 3 inch straight tubes under the car. I googled the serial number and suspension type in hope of narrowing it down to certain makes but couldn't find anything on it. It needs some work and I'd like to be able to identify the manufacturer when ordering parts.
Interesting that the VIN plate would be welded to the frame and that is would start with CSX. I'm wondering if someone took a Cobra plate that you can buy anywhere and engraved a VIN number on it. Does the VIN on plate match the registration?

Also, be careful about the way the car is registered/titled in CA. There were some cars that were registered illegally in the 1990's through a number of shell companies that sold bogus titles.
