Not Ranked
Hey, I used a smiley!!!!!
That guy's website has very detailed drawings of the 289 and Daytona Coupe. Over course they are not cheap. If you are planning on scratch building a 289, that might be a great place to start. If you are only interested in looking at pictures, then they are rather expensive pictures.
I have to admit being a bit persnickety (or however you spell it).
But you are correct, some original owners are not as concerned about originality as function. I remember seeing Dick Smith's original SC at VIR and being suprised at the radiator and cooling fan looking like something out of a replica. Of course I had seen the non-standard bumpers and the padded dash in pictures of his car before, so I knew that the car had other non-original modifications.
Being persnickety, I think the Kirkhams are beautiful cars and works of art. But being somewhat antipersnickety, I probably would opt to drift from originality for function if I ever hit the lottery and get a Kirkham.
