Here's an ERA FIA with wire wheels, looks really good! Cheers, Dennis

Personal opinion here....if you want wires and a luggage rack, you should have a 289 roadster (aka that unpleasant term - "slabside"), not an FIA289

Cheers!

Obviously, I'm prejudiced, but Dayton wires, luggage rack, undercar exhaust, and drop center street dash work just fine on the Unique 289. Daytons are far, far stronger than any wire wheel from the 60s, allow tubeless tires, and are good & true - your 289 won't stress them (my car is running 325 hp at the flywheel on a 351W).

(FYI - I'm not a site newbie; I used to post years ago as JeepSnake, but for the life of me I couldn't get that account to reactivate. Which I guess is just as well, since all the Jeeps are long gone...)

Really a nice looking car. Very clean lines and not in your face. I think the colored (powder coated?) wheels are a perfect complement.

Wow, what a nice car! You even have the correct AMCO 356 Porsche luggage rack! Plus a cigarette lighter, and is that an Austin Healey ash tray? You have me rethinking my build. Again WOW!

Congrats Jackal! You won't be sorry. Welcome to the madness!

Zach's car is even nicer in person! It is a spectacular creation, and a well executed product of his personal vision of a street version of muscle! There are several more great photos of it over on the Uniquecobra site... look under the thread heading Unique sightings.

I love that color! I may have to steal that.......color code? I also need the luggage rack!

Zach's Unique 289 has the correct luggage rack, AMCO made to fit a Porsche 356, they come up for sale occasionally. Not sure what the color code is, ERA might tell you? Cheers, Dennis
