289 cut back doors
Hey guys, I've been around the snakes for a while, and have owned one or another since '98. I'm thinking of doing a 289 street car. What is the story on the doors of the 289 cars. I see that some are cut back, and some are the same as the 427 style.
Thanks, Richard Bailey |
Only the competition FIA's cars used a cut back door........
All 289 slabside comp and street Cobras used the same door as the 427. CSX2568:No cut back door http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...nt_3-4_Web.jpg Allen Grant: No Cut Back http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...ntCobra96A.jpg CSX2345 FIA: Cut Back http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...72dpi_LC-1.jpg |
