Purchased an old Kit Car mag from 1988 and found an article and some pics about the demonstrator 289 from DAX (DJ Sportscars International).
It was a 427 reshaped and trimmed back to the 289 curves. It got a 4.2 Ltr. straight six engine and a three speed automatic box. A full detailed brochure was available also.
Does anybody know if it got into production? Maybe for just a few cars?
Have never heard before that DAX did a 289 version, not even as a prototyp.
Cheers
