3356/320=10.49 so that would fit our mystery for F/SA=10.00 at 69 Indy.

I'm guessing that because a 2dr post wouldn't be called a GTA, it would just be a 2dr post with a 390GT engine and a C6 auto. But, some refer to the "engine" as the "car". Either way I think this confirms Simon also had a 390/320 car that fits this class.

Re-read that post. It sounds like he is talking about his friend owning a couple other Fords including the GTA car, not Dick Simons.

As far as Simons' car being a factory 427, I think more hype would have been made about it if that were the case at auction, and it wouldn't have pulled such low numbers. Looks like it was a 289 car according to the same post where the other quote was pulled from...
