    289

    I plan to build a 289 car someday. Wwould it be weird or out of place to build one with the following theme?

    Street dash
    No Roll bar
    Front and rear bumpers
    427 side exhaust
    Wire wheels

    Bill, I think for the most part Unique will build it any way you want with one exception being the rollbar, seems to me that that is not delete-able. Check in the members forums under "Juanone 289 build" for a car that fits some of your description.

    We will sell a kit without a roll bar but we do install the mounting hardware, someday someone will want a roll bar on the car.

    Hey Bill,
    I've mulled over a similar idea for a future build. I'd build it with skinny thinline whitewalls mounted on 6 X15 original style knock-off wire wheels. Top, side curtains, radio and heater/defroster. Undercar dual exhaust. Kinda like these images but with whitewalls.

    Could I order it w/o the holes drilled in the body but still get the roll bar? I ask because I may change at some point during the build.
