Your definatly right Pete. By my reckoning there is or has been at least ten, I don't have all the chassis no's but here's a list of what I know of or have read about.
1. Red S/C 427 owned by Peter Briggs of York Motor Museum in W.A possibly the one SVO429 refered to at Geelong in '92
2. Blue S/C 427 owned by ex QLD newspaper magnate - appeared in '97 Indy Car parade.
3. Blue street 427 CSX 3150 rego JXH-772 David Ratcliffe
4. AC 289 Sports NSW reg ESX-039 featured in '68 Sports Car World magazine ( I still have the copy )
5. Yellow 289 that appeared in Aussie movie "Running from the Guns" again possibly the one that SVO427 referd to that he saw 28 years ago.
6. Red 289 owned by Cobra Car Club Member in NSW Southern Highlands (name with held) Has appeared in Aust Classic Cars.
7. Red 289 CSX 2101 David Bowden Unique Cars article May '03
8. Blue + white stripe 289 CSX 2105 Unique Cars article May '03
9. Green 289 COB 6033 ex Ron Thorpe/John Blandon.
10. Light Blue 289 FIA replica built by John Olsen NZ. I saw this car at a NSW club meeting in '95 - awsome.
Another article I have read claims a 427 in wraps in Melbourne, might be the one snaken talked about.
Now, wouldn't that be a sight to get them all together.
