May we open a discussion on 2286?
I remember reading 2286 was the chassis that was to get the aluminum 390. The chassis was supposedly stretched 3" or so to allow for the larger engine. Then it was decided to run a 289, and the chassis was returned to a 90" wheelbase.
Now my question, wouldn't that have been quite a task? I can't even imagine such a procedure being worth the trouble financially. The first owner of 2286 once commented on Club Cobra that the welding and fabrication work was first rate. He didn't remember seeing a splice or split in the chassis.
I would love to get an up close look at 2286.
