Arrow The Home Coming

Here goes, I have a few pics that really came after emptying out the interior and trunk. All the parts were here except altenator, radiator and the ac compressor some parts in better shape than others. The car also came with several 69 sport satellite parts. Name:  69GTX043_zpsede116b4.jpg

I'm really excited about bringing this B body back to life. My first Plymouth was a 1969 road runner. My wife found it sitting behind a laundry mat, it had two flat tires and needed a clutch. This was in 1980, I found the owner and he took 250 dollars on the spot. I restored it and have since bought sold and restored many B and E bodied cars. I'll keep post updated as I make real progress. Unlike rebuilds in the past this one will get special attention.

Nice find cant wait to see the progress reports. Hope you keep it the same color. Hope your Charger doesn't get jealous with her (GTX) in the garage next to her. What is the expected time frame on your build? Keep us posted...Bill

Close to original as possible

Time is always elusive, like times really talented people promise to help but bail out. You have money put back for something, but all of a sudden grandchildren (I have 7) need something. But we all have to set goals; I'd like to be driving it in a year or so and hopefully over the next couple of years will have it looking fairly tight.

I'm going to use as many era parts as possible and have it looking as it did off the showroom floor.

Post Moving to member builds

Thanks for the welcome, I have more progress to post. The appropriate thing to do now that I'm warming up a bit, will be moving to member builds.
