I got to say how impressed (Not easily done) I am with SPF's product! They did an outstanding job with their 289!

The factory was pushed EVERY inch of the way by Ross Henry. I was privy to the development and the number of changes, revisions and upgrades made is what makes the Superformance MK II such a fabulous car! It has resulted in a very accurate car yet improved driving dynamics that makes the 289 a ball to drive and toss around.
And being a period correct color is the icing!

Thanks Guys! And special thanks Larry, for posting all the pics.
I took delivery of the car exactly a year ago, it's been a labor of love. I was lucky to have a driven a few 289 CSX cars in the past, and have been hooked since. SPF indeed got it close, but I took it closer. I wanted an authentic experience either looking at it, or driving it.
A HUGE thanks to Ross Henry, couldn't have the car running/looking like it does without him. Same to Nick Acton, for great info, service and parts. Of course, Larry -LMH- an incredible source of information and 'historian'. Also to Butch Englebrecht..owner of CSX 22XX, who let me dissect his car at will, so I could duplicate the non-obtainables. Also to Cobra Restorers, who filled in the other 'blanks'.
Any questions on the build, I'd be happy to answer.
Thanks again, guys..this site & you all have been a pleasure-
Jeff |

..and finally a HUGE thanks to Todd Smith, who machined a pile of new parts, and Daniel Michel who modeled, machined and rapid prototyped his fingers off.
