Post by: 302EFI on March 20, 2013, 09:51:09: The most beautiful 427 I have seen for a long time. These clean lines without hood, side pipes, roll bar - simply gorgeous.

Post by: TLegate on March 20, 2013, 11:35:29: The 289 can be in your car port for a mere $950,000. No worries....

   Legendary had the car in July, 2011 for $695k. It sold at Gooding in January 2012 for a hammer price of $625k.
   I guess it's still looking for good home;-)

Maybe the sellers expect a particularly good price in view of the car's history and the (alleged) fact that it is almost completely original, but USD 950,000 strikes me nevertheless as a little optimistic.

   You think the vinyl seats are original? [:D][:D]

Post by: TLegate on March 20, 2013, 20:43:51: I would rate the 427 as a very sound purchase knowing the previous owners were the Kirkham family! That car will be perfection. Even I could be tempted back to the Dark Side...(huge lottery win permitting)

Post by: SunDude on June 08, 2013, 15:24:45: I stopped in at Legendary Motorcar yesterday on the way to the airport, and got to see CSX3104 in the flesh. Gorgeous!!

   I tried snapping a few photos, but the lighting is maddeningly awful in the showroom so most of them didn't turn out. Here are some of the better pics.
