I guess I should be more specific, given the Kirkham nomenclature: I'd like to see a 289FIA hybrid (289FIA body on a 427 chassis). I've talked to the Kirkham's about the original suspensioned cars (front leaf spring suspension) and realize that they are few and far between.

I hadn't been looking at Kirkham because I was under the mistaken impression that their version of a 289FIA was a 427 rear section coupled with a 289 nose. They do make such a car, which apparently is the 289 to 427 transition car. I've since learned that they offer a 289FIA with either the 289-type suspension (special order) or the hybrid with the 427 chassis. The 289FIA hybird is interesting to me, in that it has the body styling that I like with the coil spring suspension.

Allan A: I'd like to check out your CSX. Check you PM.
