Has anyone got a source for the 90oC. fan thermostats? The originals have a red plastic insulating insert. Mine is inoperative and needs to be replaced. Thanks to all.

428 Frua Forum / CSX2186/COX6002

« on: January 31, 2008, 16:39:20 »

Hello everyone across the pond. I'm new to this forum, but I've owned CSX2186 since 1980. One of the first things I learned about the car is that it started life as COX6002--all the usual serial number spots are numbered 6002 rather than 186, and the frame has COX6002 overstamped with CSX2186. We have since learned that the COX6002 in France, which has been rebodied as a Daytona coupe, was probably originally mumbered CSX2186. My questions are two-fold: does anyone have any knowledge as to why the two cars were switched, and does anyone know which car actually appeared at the '63 Paris Auto Show? The only visible difference in the cars was interior color--my car has a black interior and the other car had a red interior. My car (the present CSX2186) has a positive ground (earth) which is manifested in the clock and Smiths electric tachometer. and doesn't show any evidence of an AC badge on the boot lid.
   If anyone has any knowledge that would help clear up this mystery, it would be greatly appreciated.
   Thanks!
