Default 289 dash knobs

Notice the black (no chrome in the center) knobs from a Ford Falcon. Most replicas use Galaxie knobs with that chrome center, probably because they are reproduced. When I was building mine in the early 70's there were still intact Falcons in the junk yards. Some paint out the chrome but they don't usually look very good, imho. Also, the heater control is from a Falcon and it was reproduced. It turns out the choke cable that controls the hot water is the perfect length for use in the Cobra.
