This Kirkham Motorsports 289 FIA is powered by a Roush Performance 427R V8 that is fitted with a Borla Induction Eight Stack fuel injection system and mated to a Tremec TKO 600 five-speed manual transmission and a Dana 44 independent rear axle with a 3.54:1 limited-slip differential. The aluminum body is finished in light blue metallic and features quick-jack bumperettes, bullet-style mirrors, and a single roll hoop, while the interior is trimmed in black leather and incorporates Kirkham-branded instrumentation, Impact racing harnesses, and a fire suppression system. Additional details include 15″ FIA-style knockoff wheels, Avon tires, Wilwood calipers, and independent suspension.
The front-hinged hood opens to reveal a Roush Performance 427R V8 engine fitted with a Borla Induction Eight Stack fuel injection system. The stacks have been disassembled, polished, and re-assembled by Borla. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a Tremec TKO 600 five-speed manual transmission and a Dana 44 independent rear axle with a 3.54:1 limited-slip differential. The car has been fitted with a stainless-steel chassis.
The aluminum bodywork is finished in light blue metallic and features flared fenders, a hood scoop, fender vents, wind wings, bullet-style mirrors, windshield wipers, a single roll hoop, a Le Mans-style fuel filler, and quick-jack bumperettes.
FIA-style 15″ wheels are secured with three-eared knockoffs and are mounted with Avon tires with yellow “Goodyear” lettering measuring 225/65 up front and 245/60 out back. The car is equipped with independent suspension, and stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes with Wilwood calipers.
The cockpit houses bucket seats trimmed in black leather upholstery joined by color-coordinated door panels and carpeting. A fire extinguisher is mounted between the seats, and additional interior elements include a dashboard-mounted rearview mirror, tinted sunvisors, Impact racing harnesses, a glove compartment, a fire suppression system, and a FAST EZ-EFI programming tool.
The three-spoke steering wheel fronts a black upholstered dashboard panel that houses Kirkham-branded instrumentation consisting of a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, an analog clock, and gauges monitoring coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level.
The digital odometer shows 700 miles.
