Indifference. First, my car is a 289 and not even the zillions of
replica builders are bothering to build look-a-like 289s. One claims to
be making a 289 FIA roadster replica but it's just a fiberglass 427 body
painted in an FIA roadster color scheme. Secondly, I think 427 Cobras
are flat out ugly compared to 289s. Actually, diluting the market with
"new" 427s might even enhance the rareness factor of 289s.
