Hi there!
Well, my name is Pablo Harris, i´m from Buenos Aires, Argentina, but i´m also a U.S. resident, so I live half of my time in Bridgeport, CT.
I´m the proud owner of this 1978 Dodge GTX, and i´m not making a mistake, in Argentina, GTX is Dodge.
Hope you like it!

Polaradude, thanks for your welcome!
The engine is a 318, bored 0.40 over with forged pistons, 761 Mopar cam, Edelbrock Air Gap intake, 600 cfm. Holley double pumper, Mopar orange box and a few extra things.
For the color, I chose "THE" Mopar color: Hemi Orange, witch was never available in Argentina.
The car was completely rebuilt, and has a 3.31 Dana 44 posi. Wheels are original, with 235 60 14 in front and 245 60 14 Sumitomo HTR 2000 tires in back. Four speed, an argentinian 230/4 that works very well, brand new clucth, vinyl and upholstery.
Man, I love this car!!!

It´s really interesting what Dodge did in Argentina.
Two door hardtop were made from 1970 to 1979. They came in 3 versions:
1) GTX, top of the line, with V8 318 engines, 230 hp (slant six was available on GTX´s in the first two years of production). Vinyl top, no stripes.
In spanish (sorry):
http://www.testdelayer.com.ar/dodgegtx.htm
2) R/T, only with slant six, 174 hp, with awesome stripes.
In spanish (sorry):
http://www.testdelayer.com.ar/dodgepolarart.htm
3) Polara, ultra standard, slant six, 3 speed at the column (unbelievably but true) or automatic, with torqueflite A-904.
And one last interesting link, (spanish again!!)
http://www.cocheargentino.com.ar/d/dodge_sedan_cupe.htm
I´ll try to translate something in the future... Even with my poor english.
