A big block fastback, I'd buy it if its not over priced! Make sure frame mounts are there, not reproduced and hard to find.

'S' also means 10 miles per gallon /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

I have a 427 tunnel-port with 2 fours and 430 gears and get better than 10 miles to a gallon.

If you're planning on doing a full restoration beware there are several draw backs to doing a 67 390 gt. A lot of parts are only for that year and motor. A/C brackets, power steering pieces, Air Cleaners, heads, exhaust manifolds, fan/shroud, Disk Brake calipers and hoses just to name a few. Not only are they hard to find but normally cost a pretty penny to boot.

Heads? What makes them 67 only? Never heard that before.

S = Speeding ticket

Hey Joe, the heads have extra exhaust manifold bolt holes due to the design to fit the manifolds between the shock towers. Daryl
