Not Ranked
I think the slabbies are gorgeous. Although I dream of having a 427 replica with a sideoiler, I see so many 427 replicas on the road that when I see one, I almost never consider that it might be an "original" vintage 427. But what do you think when you see a 289 slabside on the road? Especially if the car has correct details (wheels, vintage tires, correct bades, etc.)? I know I assume it must be original, since there are so few replicas out there. The scarcity alone makes it somewhat more desirable in my eyes. And since I don't plan on drag racing on public streets, the 289 seems like a sensible, classier choice. The guys who race their 427 replicas on the track at least get the concept of what the car was originally for. As a daily driver, the 289 would be a great choice!
