1 of only 447 GT-390 with a 4-speed in a convertible were made! Of
those only 37 had this amazing color combination. This one is
outstanding. You don't have to take my word for it either; it's won
many top awards at Fairlane shows. The owner is a fanatic. We sold
this car for him several years ago and he missed it so much he
tracked it down and bought it back. It is a genuine car documented
with the deluxe Marti Report. Over the last couple years the owner
made several upgrades while maintaining its original look. The 390
was internally modified, trans was upgraded from a 4-speed to a
5-speed, suspension was upgraded too.
EXTERIOR: Wow, what a beauty! The body is laser straight, gaps are
precise. No rust or damage. Repainted its original Raven Black
color, rare, only 88 convertibles were this color The paint is
polished like glass. Only a few minor flaws if you look for them.
Jambs are slick, weatherstrips were replaced. Red GT stripes look
great. All the chrome and trim is shiny. Black convertible top is
in excellent shape. The GT wheels sparkle and have red center caps.
BFG radial redline tires.
INTERIOR: Rare factory red interior. Extremely rare factory
tachometer too. Dash area is very clean. Dash pad was replaced, has
optional deluxe wheel. A stereo is hidden in the glovebox. Door
panels and trim is mint. The 5-speed Hurst fits in the factory
console. The upholstery is very nice. Carpet is very nice, has
matching mats. A set of gauges are neatly installed under the dash.
Nice set of red seatbelts front and back. Interior lights work. It
has a leather key chain from the original dealer. Very tidy
throughout.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The 390 motor was recently completely rebuilt.
It's been bored and stroked to a 436. It is making 463 hp and 498
lbs of torque on a dyno. Aluminum heads were flow tested; cam was
cut for this application. On top it has an aluminum intake, dual
feed Holley carb and an MSD ignition system. The motor was painted
blue and dressed up to look stock. Correct chrome valve covers, air
cleaner assembly and even the decals. Reproduction hoses and
clamps. It has power brakes. Every component looks new. Everything
is properly installed. The engine bay is painted gloss black.

Products. In front it has tubular upper and lower control arms with
QA1 adjustable coil over shocks, a bigger swaybar and custom

joints, springs, bushings have been replaced. Great sounding dual

pan. Upgraded Tremec 5-speed transmission. New centerforce clutch,
flywheel assembly and shifter. Rebuild drive shaft. Rebuilt rear

I can vouch that the owner of this car treated it like one of his
children. It is detailed and dialed in very well. I'm sure the next
owner will be very pleased.
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
