Equipment
389 Tri-Power, 4-speed, Hurst wheels, red line tires, bucket seats, factory radio, Safe-T-Track, Protect-O-Plate, PHS documents.
Condition
Can’t read the engine number but it’s powered by the “correct” engine, so we can assume it’s not original. It is very clean and correct, though. The paint and chrome are very good as well. The fit on the trunk lid is uneven. The interior looks great. Relatively rare first year LeMans GTO convertible restored to like new condition.
Market commentary
The 389 Tri-Power came in two flavors: 389/303hp and 389/348hp with more aggressive camshaft. We don’t know which this is/was but either way the underhood display is magnificent and its presentation is exceptional. It brought a realistic price here at WestWorld that recognizes both the quality of the restoration and the appeal of the Tri-Power 389. The result wouldn’t be out of line even if the engine wore a 4-barrel.
