Original 289 in 427 Street body
I was speaking with Tom Kirkham regarding an appropriate body and frame for an alternative fuel small block Cobra. Tom told me of a Cobra produced at the end of the original Shelby production that used a 289 in a 427 street body and frame. I had never heard of such a car. Does anyone have photos of such a car they would be willing to post?

From memory without looking it up, there were about 27 AC-built 289 cars on the coil-spring chassis with the so-called 427 body. Again from memory, they were narrow-hipped, wore wire wheels, and at least some retained the chin scoop even though they didn't require oil coolers. Remember that a number (perhaps fifty) of the Shelby 427 street cars omitted the scoop. At any rate, there does exist a historical precedent for a small block in a coil-spring chassis.
