This will probably cost $50-$75 to ship; so, keep that in mind.

Came off a 427 car. It has quite a few dents in it. They don't show up in the photo very well.

David,

If you still got it ... I'll take it!

I can hang it up next to the FIA dash

Any suggestions?

Also, I updated the differential. It has a 3:31 ratio.

Talk to you on Monday.

Just found some foot boxes. They are made out of fiberglass like the originals.

MANY OF THESE BOXES HAVE SOLD. WE HAVE 2 RIGHTS AND 1 LEFT BOX STILL FOR SALE.

$400 retail--$200 today. Specify left or right.

It was also make a clunking noise as the clutches grabbed and let go. We just replaced it. We don't have time to figure out what is wrong. The differential unit is a Dana Power Lock. They are not that expensive to rebuild.

Retail $5,000. Today $2,500 I'll even throw in the upper mounts.

3:31 Ratio


Hmmmm, I'm thinking!

David,
If the footboxes will fit an original style 289, I'll take a left and a right.

Actually, I am working on setting up some rings for our gym

We are back working on the billet block again. Hopefully not too many of them are defective. The billet is almost $2000

I will post a few more things here shortly.

I think we have a set of 289 boxes...but I am not sure. I will check. Most people in the original cars over the years have put the 427 boxes in the 289 cars. It gives you a LOT more room for the exhaust. Let me know either way.

Yes, you can just call in on Monday with everyone else

There were 2 other guys wanting this, but I knew it wouldn't last long. There MAY be another one, but I really don't think so. The shop is buried in parts all over the place right now.

David, what has been changed since 539? CV joints?

Also, are you talking gymnastics rings? What are you guys doing over there? The "iron cross"?

BTW, if that rear end had a ratio of 3.54, I think I would have taken it. I don't want to go down numerically though.

Yes, gymnastic rings. They are a great work out device.

Like I said, I will look for another differential. I don't think there is one, however.

Yes, we run CV's now and it makes a big difference in the rear end. The rear suspension doesn't bind up any more coming out of a turn.

For all you 289 guys out there.

This is a nose off a 289 FIA. The nose is not yet wired. (I did a YouTube on that some time ago for the adventurous.) The Coupe in the background is not for sale...yet.

I just noticed we have 2 of these.

Retail on a nose is $2500. I'll let each one go for $950

I am not sure if this can be shipped UPS. It is right up against the dimension limit.

More 289 stuff.

SOLD

This is a hood from one of our 289 FIA cars. Retail $1000. Today--$600. Shipping will be $100. This hood is brand new. It has not yet been straightened or filed--just welded.
