I was not aware it had been for sale in August. Good thing as I was not really looking until I heard it may be available agin this Spring. Do you remember what the reserve was and what the bidding reached?
Well, I'd been aware of that car since last August or so when I saw it on Ebay and it didn't reach reserve, so I called. Found some of it's history on this site and I'd also been talking to Tim Willard at Griot's and had been offered to buy it but I'm a one car at a time guy. I already had a '71 442 cvt. that I had to sell if I were to buy it, so, obviously, I didn't, but I've been keeping track of it, sort of. I'm totally with you on the 289s. Originally I wanted a 427 street with under car exhaust, no scoop, roll bar or stripes, etc. Then I became a 289 fan, so I'm still looking for the right car, etc. I'd hoped to find one in time for this driving season because I didn't want to wait an entire 12 months for a 289 from ERA. So we'll see. Enjoy!
Sounds like your new FIA would be CCX-22505, right? How do you like it by now? May I ask what caused you to pick Contemporary over say, ERA or Superformance....quality? ...price?.....availability?.....already built? Enjoy!
