Korff penned a similar Bonneville racer in 1962 which had less of a tail,no wheel fairings,but plan taper.He assigned Cd 0.16 to it.
Mickey Thompson's Challenger I is reported at Cd 0.16.
I would guestimate the 666 at around Cd 0.15 because of the care they spent on the wheels.If she had the plan taper she'd be knocking on the door of Cd 0.11 or so.
The 1957 MG EX 181 with plan taper is reported at Cd 0.12 and it did not have the wheels as well cleaned up as Satan's swoopy salt blaster.
