Looks pretty good Steve. Keep us updated with pics as you do the floor. Those are always interesting to see.

Well I hated haveing to do it but I've started to part out my CSX # 461. While dismantling it for restoration I discovered severe damage to the core of the body. It was hit hard in the driver door at the hinges, compressing the fire wall and buckling the floorboard. A door mounted without all the shims someone Bondo'd into the area where the hinges mount leaves about an inch gap along the top of the window frame! This along with both rear quarters hit in multiple places, and other various dents here and there just made it to expensive to save. At least its parts can help make some other savable cars closer to being restored.
If you need any parts for your cars please PM me I want other CSX VNT owners to have first chance at these parts. Before I gave up I had collected every part for the car accept the fibrerides. DCturismo bought the dash plaque, and has interest in the center radio/gauge bezel. SteveB bought the horn button, floor mats, and has dibbs on a few other miscellaneous items. 1fastcsx289 has interest in the engine harness and boost gauge. Other than that everything else is available, it was a non Recaro car.
Regards
Pat
figured I'd share the most recent photo of the CSX... about 2 days ago...

I have a question. Is the cowl area suppose to be flat black? That is the area were the wiper motor and wiper fluid tank is. I am going to repaint it.
Thanks
Steve
I have seen both black and red in that area. My thinking though is that it was black. Reason being they wanted all of that cowl area to be concealed underneath that plastic cover, so with it being black, its hidden best.... just my $.02
Pat, whenver you get the chance please do email me the pics of that center bezel area! It's sad to see one of these cars go, but at least the parts are going to help fellow CSX's live on! It's pretty stand up of you to say the least in regards to offering these to guys in the community who could use the stuff more than just random eBayers.

Man, I wish this came about when I had more cash and didnt just blow up my engine! PM sent, CSX461. Thanks!
I totally agree with the above comments...although I feel really bad for Pat.
On another note, are you guys sure that the VNT cars had the "mobil one" badge in the engine compartment like the S cars did? Im hearing arguments on both sides these days.
Hey guys, I have car 477. I just found this thread a couple days ago and heres my car.
Do you have side skirts?
He does actually, and I have a front air dam for you!
Welcome to the thread. Is your car a recaro or non-recaro car? How many miles? What have you done to it so far? Most importantly, have you registered it at the official registry --- www.shelbyregistry.com
DC, thought you got rid of that front air dam.......your still selling one? price please.
Thanks guys It really was hard to give up on it, and I still want to get another one some day. SwinginACR nice ride wanna sell it? lol
PM's sent..
No its not a recaro car, It now has about 78,000 miles, im not 100% because the srt rims throw off the odometer. I need an airdam also but would rather try for the skirts right now since these would be the first set Ive seen up for sale since I got the car. Is yours an original or a Kaminari? And I registered somewher awhile back but not sure if thats where, Ill have to look into it.He does actually, and I have a front air dam for you!

Sorry, but I dont want to sell it but I know where another one is and it will be up for sale here sooner or later, I have no idea how much. Its a reacaro car, # like 177 or somewhere in there, has skirts but no bumpers and dosnt run. I am interested in the skirts though.
Took a look and yes ive registerd.He does actually, and I have a front air dam for you!

That looks kik azz!!!Hey guys, I have car 477. I just found this thread a couple days ago and heres my car.
Oh yeah, I recently bought a CSX too.....
Welcome (even though I'm not technically in it) to the CSX-VNT owner's club, T-Unit!!!
Well actually, I thought about it because the gold looked good on the car but I have two good acr bbs rims from my srt and I decided I would try and find two more and do them in gold to go on the car. The stock srts rub when I turn to tight and if I go off an incline at an angle their hittin something in the front fenders, I just havnt figured out what yet.That looks kik azz!!!

89 CSX-VNT 135 lives with me here in Maryland. Just a hair over 50k original miles, garage stored, and I probably (unfortunately) haven't even pulled the cover off it in 2 years. Been working and playing with motorcycles the last five years or so, and the TD's have unfortunately fallen dormant (although protected and indoors.
Originally bought from Roger Crawford, pristine condition, 2 option (still has OEM gatorbacks on it, but I think they're too dryrotted to drive any distance on so street tires are on gold 6.5" crabs), documented car with all manuals and window sticker. Autographed by Carroll in 2001 at VIR. Have the numbers matching block in the garage (as well as all original parts that have been removed), car currently has an early 2.2 turbo block, ported/polished G head, Ed Peters ceramic coated intake, +40s, S60 VNT turbo, UDP, and 2.5" exhaust. Oh, and a bulge hood *with* C/S emissions label and gold diecut "Intercooled VNT" decals on the bulge
The only issue with the car is a just-starting to droop headliner, and my unfortunate neglect of such an awesome car. Come January '09 it qualifies for Historic tags in Maryland, so I'll tag it and put some miles on it once in a while, I promise
Racer
I'd like to see pics of the car with the bulged hood on it. !
