Carpenter, Just curious where you heard only 54 S code, Auto cars produced. There were actually 104 S code 390GT, Automatic GT/CS cars produced. And 111 S code, 4 Speeds produced.

I don't know. Prices are down these days. Might just be a fair price in the current economy.

3rd photo. Bumper is a bit "away" from end cap. May not be anything, but a shot from the back would be nice.

I spoke with Bob the other day and received a copy of the Marti via email with two photos of the rear end.
The Marti reports it as a true CS 390 4V GT AC - 3.00 gear DSO4940 red interior
The car was in a rear end collision a few years back but was never repaired.
Rear bumper damage, visible crinkles on DS rear QP (in front and behind the tire) with some buckling on the DS rear roof support (behind the side windows) - you can JUST SEE the damage in the 4th picture.
Seats were replaced as they were in rough shape.
I was / still am interested in the car but cannot make the finances work at this time with what appears to me to be a lot of repair work.
I will let Bob post the Marti and photos as I do not feel it is right doing it.

My mistake. Didn't have the Marti Report when I placed the ad. Have updated the information after getting the report. I am new to this so I am learning as I go along.

NICE. Well optioned, looks to be in very nice condition.
Minor problems: Fix rear end damage, correct upholstery color.
