289 Kits

Here's a nice 289. It's a little used but I think they just lowered the price to $2.5M.

I personally never saw the car that Phil used, but we did not take molds off the original car. Instead, Phil took pictures, measurements and templates to perfect the buck that we already had. He has an artist's eye for shapes. If one section of the original body was damaged, Phil just used the undamaged side for his research.

Well, they are all different (like everyone always says), and they are all beautiful despite thier flaws. And Phil has managed to find the right combo of all the best elements, because I still love the ERA rendition of this particular car.
My thoughts are still if you want the best looking 289 kit on the market, you cannot go wrong with ERA. Too many of the others look like a 427 with a different grill on the front, and a different roll bar. They just don't go far enough to capture the sublety's of this car.

Here is a link to an interesting thread I started a couple years ago about the accuracy of the Kirkham FIA body:

To my eye 2345 looks EXACTLY like the car that sits in my garage - except mine is a tad darker blue, without stripes, and has a chrome roll bar (and a wooden steering wheel). Would like to visit the Boulder museum to see that collection.
