In 2005 Edwin also got hold of original dutch sales
literature at a meeting, which clarified a few issues:
For
both bodystyles there were GT350 and GT500 available.
The GT350 with a 351 cleveland with Shelby intake and Shelby
exhaust manifolds.
The GT500 had a 429 engine or a special
prepared 351 Cleveland engine with Shelby HO camshaft and
special lifters that could withstand 6000rpm.
The
suspension front should be racing adjustable as well.
The
rear suspension should have diagonal mounted special Koni’s with springs.
There
