Hi my name is wayne. I live in PA. I have a 67 gtx 440 4spd that my dad left me when he pasted away. He bought it new then traded it in on a 69 barracuda. Then bought it back it in 1992. We did a rotisserie restor on it. Dad never got it finished. So I finished it. Im hoping to drive it to Carlisle this year. SORRY DAD BOUGHT IT BACK I BELEIVE IN 2001 OR 2002

Looks great I like the color. How long have you had it completed?

The car was all but done in the spring of 2017. All it needed was an air cleaner, wheels & tires. Dad & I got on to another one of his projects & the GTX just sat. Dad passed away in October 2017. I then finished the GTX & his other project. A 62 dodge polara 500 max wedge clone. Sadly I had to sell all of dads cars. The GTX I will not. The only major thing I want to do to the GTX is all new console. Its in ruff shape

Iowan

Do you have pictures of the other cars you worked on with your dad?

the yellow dart went to a cousin the 67 gtx auto went to an aunt the 62 polara & the 68 gtx were relly hard to let go the 68 gtx my dad had owned since 71 & had 53,000 original miles on it

I like the 68 GTX and I'm not a green fan.

The 68 GTX road & drove like a dream. Every thing worked so smooth. Dad built that car back when you could go to the local Chrysler dealership & get parts. The 68 GTX had its original sheet metal, H pipe, rear, trany, all of the dash the only thing not original to the car was the engine block, seat covers & wheels

The first mopar I ever considered buying was a green 68 or 9 RR with a 383 and 4 speed. The only thing that I didn't like was the clutch, that thing had the stiffest pedal I've ever seen. But the car was clean with black interior. This was in the fall of 75 or spring of 76, with 60k on the clock the Plymouth dealer wanted $999.00 for it.

Iowan

I forgot it had red strip tires and road wheels. I didn't like the tires back then but I do now? Tires didn't last very long back then, a few months maybe.

yea if we could only go back & buy what we should've
