I've never seen a non-solid lifter big block (ZR1 excluded)with F-41 suspension. I'm not saying it didn't happen, but I've never seen this option on a 390 horse 427. I didn't think that the 4:11 gear was available with the 390 horse motor. Does the car have a tank sticker? If factory optioned the way you state, it has everything a 435 could have. It looks like a 6,500 RPM redline on the tach. Are you sure it wasn't a 435 HP car? Is the engine in the car the original engine?
