Hi Agnoraan

Once all the correct parts have been sourced and I have had time to enjoy her she will be going back to Factory spec, No flares, No scoop,Correct fuel filler, 289 Dash, Leather upholstery etc etc.

I have added a few photos to the Gallery...

So are you going to have the 427 bodyshell modified to 289 specification? I'm sure you know that there are vast differences and proportions between a 427 shell and a 289, not just the flares, scoop and dash,... as I've found out with my car :lol:

What was the chassis number?? Most AC's are recognised and known by the chassis number as opposed to the registration. If you could post it up I'm sure someone here could probably give you some of the history of the car

cheers...Nige

Hi

I am very interested in finding out more about my cars history, Apart from what is said in the AC owners registry and the World Registry 4th Edition.

The Chassis number is COB6116 one of the Last 25 complete cars and one of only 16 RHD examples... (if I remember correctly)

To my limited knowledge the later rack and pinion,Coil sprung Car's used the same chassis and body of the 427 narrow hip. The same body as the first 30 427 cars produced in the US.

The Car was viewed by myself and then inspected by Steve Grey from AC heritage before purchase. The information provided by Steve showed correct numbers on all the locks, Hinges, Screen, and chassis, The Original 289 sports Body was modified with larger flares scoop etc..
