Speaking of Prototype cars.

[nBALLS]

I was reminded I had these pics on my computer, after seeing the Prototype up at BJ. The first set of pic are of '87 CSX Proto 1, the second set are of '87 CSX Proto 2 or 3(not confirmed which one it was).

Proto 1 is owned by Joe Anderson, some of you may know him, he has been in the SD hobby for 20 years.

The side Prototype GFX that Joe took off of Proto 2 or 3 when he owned it.

This next car is/was owned by a friend of Joe's. It's either Proto 2 or Proto 3, I think Joe said his best guess was 3, it was given by Shelby to Sue Stoney, and she raced it for several years, you can still see where the number decals were on the hood. Joe took off the Prototype bumpers and GFX, and he put an interior and the entire car wiring harness from an '89 Shadow ES, not sure why, but it had to be done for some reason.

[BadAssPerformance]

Nice pics & info nBALLS! :thumb:

[Turbodave]

Interesting pics, both cars show that they were originally red according the fender tags. (PR5)

I rememeber stories (maybe from Pettijohn @ SDAC conventions?) of Shelby and Chrysler going back and forth on car colors. Dodge always wanted Red and Shelby always wanted Back or Blue...

Diggin the prototype CD holder in the retired racer!:D

It'd be nice to see the decals repopped for "proto 3" and shown! Cool pics:thumb:

Yeah I forgot to mention that, lol. There was also a red 4 door that got delivered at the same time that the three would be Proto cars were delivered.

That would be cool, not sure if Joe's friend sold the car or not, I'll ask Joe next time I talk to him....

They made a bunch of other X cars also, Joe has pics of an '87 CSX that was turned into an X car, had 16" pumpers and a 16V.

Joe bought Proto 1 in Idaho of all places. I know Joe also bought a bunch of Shelby parts from Rick Johnson, who, I believe, bought the Birthday car back in '94. (shhhh, Joe also has a few bits from the birthday car, that Rick changed when he owned it.)
