I heard he bought CSX3282, a red 428 street roadster, from a fellow Canuck in B.C.

Lewis bought two 427's in 2011: 3244 and 3282.
   
   This is in ACtion (Jan 2012, I think) and the Club's registers.

BTW, an old and very interesting website from the former (and first) owner of CSX3282 :

   good little stories, some pdf files from the original workshop manual, and a car that has lived a lot ... I like that :) !

the car seems to have been sold twice since the 90's, before LH... and converted very lately (2012 ?) to S/C specs, as it is shown by those pictures [:(] :

   French Frie, That is not CSX3282. The car pictured is CSX3232 owned by Drew Serb. [;)]

A-Snake is right.  The car in those photos is CSX3232.  The placard from the Carmel Concours (where those photos were taken) mistaken identified it as 3282.
