I bought a Hi-Po 2+2 in 1965 which retailed for $3,500 with all the goodies, but got mine for $2,800 from a buddy who lost his insurance after 5,000 miles.

The 289 was only 2/10ths of a second slower than the 427 in 0 - 60 at 4.0 and 4.2.Brock Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11404173139501539265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-73437510080758079592012-05-11T18:44:34.477-04:002012-05-11T18:44:34.477-04:00That ruined my day.
