Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah
November 1965




The Chassis CSX2287 ended its racing career by setting 25 USAC/FIA world records at the Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, in November 1965, while driven by Craig Breedlove, Bobby Tatroe and Tom Greatorex during a Goodyear tire testing session.


After its racing career the CSX2287 was sold to the music producer Phil Spector. But the Shelby Daytona Coupé wasn´t a Road Car.
To loud, to hot inside and much to fast. After many speeding tickets Spector sold the Car in the early seventies.
And then the trace of the CSX2287 was lost for 30 years

2001



In 2001 the car was rediscovered in a rental storage unit in California.The owner Donna O'Hara had committed suicide. The car had remained undiscovered for almost 30 years.
