Want a 289
I'm new to the group and I'm looking for 289 ERA or equal. Had CSX2367 from new for 46 years, sold it and want a 289 kit. Anybody know of one for sale?
|
HI; I'm in Bradenton. Did you own the BRG 289 that you showed at local events? I can't believe you sold it !!!! I think "mr Mustang" on this site has a 289FIA for sale. Do a search on MR Mustang.
PS: also check out " riverside racer, they have an extremely accurate 289 replica being marketed thru Superformance, pricey. There's a recent thread showing it at some event ( goodwood maybe?) Do you want to build one yourself, or do you want one ready to drive ? I'd welcome you to the madness, but obviously you've been there for some time !!!!!!!!!! |

ERA, Riverside or Kirkham are your best choices. All make standard 289 models.
Finding one used for sale may be a little difficult as there are not many out there but it is possible. Larry |
Take a ride to Gulf Coast Motors in Bonita Springs. See the Superformance version. You will be impressed. I remember your CSX from St. Armands show. I thought you would be buried in that car.:LOL:
|
Which body style 289 are you looking for (slabside or FIA)?
What stage of build are you looking for? |
I have a Black 289 FIA in race dress of sale in PA. PM me for photos if you are intrested. crate 302 with Weber 48 IDF's 5speed new tires

Call Ross at SPF. Get a CSX#, COX# or SPF# either way they are very nice and accurate buggy spring chassis done right. Dennis O at SPF North Carolina can help as I think he is a dealer.
They do slabside too............ |
csx 2367 (Joe), your car was my inspiration for my build. I believe your car is the most beautiful Cobra around. I've tried to replicate it to the best of my ability with what I had. I used a Factory Five chassis and a Mr. Bruce body. Here is a link to a thread from the FF forum on her first time out. It was a cloudy overcast day so the color doesn't pop.

C'mon, Joe. Stop screwing around with these Cobra-type cars. We've been there & done that. What you need is a middle-age codpiece. So get a new Corvette. That's what all the really cool guys are doing.

You are right, let me swap you a new 2012 vette for your little green car.......:3DSMILE: |

Ned, you know two things about me after forty years: I don't have the gold chains required for the Corvette and once you have a Cobra for forty six years you always need one. It is incurable...you should know that by now!

I sent you a PM if you check the top right for messages.
|
Panel Craft made a 289 FIA roller.
Was that a one-off car? Did anyone buy it and finish it? |
Joe did make a beauty, that is his car. He's using it as his prototype to be able to make more to order. He'll get to finishing it around his other work. What is it about a builders house, plumbers plumbing................
|
Joe, you should have taken a real shot at my Contemporary slabside when you saw it in my Dad's garage. Ask mickmate how special that car really is.
