Guys, sorry to burst bubbles, but not all of the GT500's came with the 428PI motor. A quote from the 1997 SAAC registry "A temporary interuption in the flow of 428 engines evidently caused some 1968 GT500's to be built with 390 Cubic inch engines".

Now, while they say that amount is very small, the truth be told that most were delivered with the 390 engine, but badged as 428's. Since the engines are identical on the outside, the world may never know the real truth behind this oddity..........

Sincerely,

Bill S.
