I may actually prefer the 289 cars. While a visit to the Contemporary Classics factory in the 1980s is what made me fall in love with Cobras to begin with (a 427 S/C replica specifically) the race history of the USRRC/FIA cars and the appreciation of lightweight cars has evolved my thinking over time.

I have gone down a rabbit hole today on Ross Henry and the Superformance 289 cars. WOW. I did not appreciate just how close the MKII chassis is to the original cars. It make me want to toss the Coyote idea and replicate CSX2431 which is just a few miles from me. Here’s a few pics from last weekend:
