It’s an original 69 390 4 speed car. I started building it as a track day car in the style of a vintage T/A car or more accurately B Production in the case of the 97” wheelbase 2 seat AMX. 

It has a 14 point (counting engine compartment bracing) .095” chrome moly roll cage. There are Subframe connectors and the floor is tunneled for exhaust.

It has a Fiberglass hood, bumpers and front spoiler and an NOS grill. 

The body has been subtly “stretched” over the large wheels and tires.

The wheels are 17” PS engineering Halibrand copy knockoffs, GS Vette actually, I just liked how they look on the car. I could keep them and knock 2k off my asking price.

It has a Ford 9” rear end with an upper center mounted torque arm. I was going to add a watts link and a lower arm too. It has flexi-a-form composite leaf springs and Afco shocks. 

In front there are Afco tubular uppers, spherical bearings in the factory lowers and Penske coil overs. It’s not finished and I changed course and was going to use Griggs Racing lowers, spindles and rack with my coil overs and uppers. It has Lincoln spindles in it now (I was going to use the big Lincoln Kelsey Hayes at one point.) it will need to be bump steered and buttoned up to use as it’s configured.

It has Tilton pedals and brake (driver adjustable bias) and clutch masters. I have the Tilton throw out bearing for the T-10. 

It has a block  and a freshened super t-10 in it. I’d like to keep the block I can provide a complete rebuildable 390

There are two Sparco seats and a later javelin “wrap around” dash crash pad. 

It has an RCI teardrop shaped fuel cell.

Great bones to build a rare fun car. Asking 20k.

Very, very cool! Would make an awesome retro trackday toy. Also, it just goes to prove that Halibrands are the best damn looking wheel on anything!!!
