Daytona coupe at the Glen

RACER X #99 · #1 (**permalink**) 07-14-2002, 07:44 AM

Heard from Bill Connelly that he will be bringing his Daytona coupe demo car to the Glen on August 19,20 for a shakedown run and perhaps a few hot laps.
If anybody is interested in one of the finest Daytona coupe replicas here is your opportunity to see and perhaps be given a demo ride by Bill.
I know that I will be looking for a demo ride or something better.

The Daytona of which Herr Crankenhammer speaks of is Upstate's replica of the Red Daytona Swiss car. Those that have been to Carlisle over the last 2 years may have seen it in various phases of its build. It is a perfect recreation. For those that don't know, the Upstate car started life as the Contemporary and its mold was splashed from CSX2299 during its restoration in the mid 80s.

FYI......

Here are some pics of the original coupe,CSX-2299, circa 1982/83 prior to molds being made from body.

These pics were taken from Bill Connelly's website, Upstate Super Replicars.
