We have since installed a Cobra engine dress up kit with Cobra air cleaner and LeMans valve covers, an export brace and a Monte Carlo bar. I also installed a Cobra style wood rimmed steering wheel to replace a cheap aftermarket Grant wheel that was on the car when Terry bought it. There was a Hurst shifter in the car, but all of the linkage was loose and worn out so I replaced it with a complete new matching unit with white shifter knob (it came with both white and black shifter knobs, but I prefer white). The car had a set of bolt on traction bars when Terry bought it and a set of Hooker headers, which we�ll be replacing with a custom set of Tri Y style headers so that the power steering can be re-installed. (The owner before Terry installed a set of headers and removed the original power steering since it wouldn�t clear the Hooker headers.) We installed a new replacement headliner and recovered the front seats, but kept the original headrests since the Marti shows this to be the only one of the 27 Candy Apple Red �S� code 390 4 speed GT C/S cars to get the optional headrests.

Additional Comments: We�ve owned the car since 2007 when I bought it from my best friend Terry Rann. (Cancer took Terry in 2008 and he sold me the car the year before when he took sick since he�d loaned us the C/S to use as our wedding car in 1999 and he knew how much it meant to me.) In the 10 years that Terry had this car he probably didn�t put on more than about 1,000 miles and since 2007 when I bought it we probably haven�t put on much more than another 2,000 miles? (I honestly haven�t kept track of the mileage we�ve put on it and I�m too scared to check the gas mileage!)
