Was just cruising through the archives and noticed a thread that mentioned a 289 FIA car is under development. Any more on this and when it might be available?
I haven't heard much on it lately. If you gave Mike Arps at Hurricane a call, I'm sure he'd be happy to update you on the status.

In the last email Mike Arps and I bounced back and forth he indicated the chassis would be essentially identical to the 427 model--Mike commented that although a 351C could be used (my engine of choice) that they recommend a more traditional SBF for the 289 model they are developing.
8-) i stoped by the shop a week ago and the 289 is looking good
the frame is done and the body looks close to the end of r&d
all in all loos cool ;D
Build it and they will come.... 8-) One of my favorite 289s . ERA I think. Notice the slight radius on the bottom sill between the front and rear wheels.

I like the way the side exhaust sort of tucks under the rocker panel, too.
