Here's a 289 Kirkham that just popped up on eBay, with a 347 (and no affiliation):

I looked at that car in person at the Mecum auction in Monterey last August. Very nice owner and the car looked great and sounded awesome with spintech under car exhaust. It hit 120,000 on the block, but reserve was not met.
