Hi-yes you are correct. How did you know? I love it thus far. Already logged over 400 miles. I chose this particular car because a local collector had it for a couple of years and I saw it often. He purchased an original 427 CSX ???? and I inquired to the whereabouts of his 289 FIA. Was informed he was going to sell it and then our discussions began even though I had never driven a Cobra. Next thing you know I purchased the car!
The price was fair and I felt that the 289 FIA cars were more rare/less common than the 427s-just my opinion though. I spoke with the builder also and was able to see literally all the paperwork since new including all receipts since the build began.
For me though it was really the local owner and the quality of vehicles he has in his collection, availability locally, and I like the history of the 289 FIA vehicles. It was also one of those " being in the right place at the right time".
