Enjoyed the article and thank you for posting it. A friend of mine is a car collector and in late August I had the privilige of driving his original 289 (street version CSX-21xx) that was truly a barn find. Still had the accumulation of dirt from 1971.There is nothing like driving an original but I was suprised that it handled similarily to my Backdraft with a 351 W. Ran it through the gears several times and reached 90 mph easily.Had it out for about 30 minutes and I could have driven it all day. What a thrill.The engine and exhaust sounded great .
