Do you have a b'cast sheet? Is it an OHIO car? I looked at a R6 convertible ~20 years ago in NE Ohio.




I found a pic of this '69 GTX convertible, it appears to be:

I looked at an R6 with tan and white int 4 spd car out of Columbus Ohio back around 1992
Also looked at an R6 with white int 4 spd car up near south bend indiana, same time frame.

The R6 4-spd GTX w/white & tan interior was in Vegas a few years ago (gotta-be the only one?), small world.

There was a R6 GTX vert clone built & sold out of Gulfport MS by two brothers who stole everything from an original car including all the tags
They titled & tagged the Sport Sat vert in AL with the GTX numbers & matching drivetrain
They showed it at the Battleship in Mobile & a few others before selling somewhere on the Internet
One of their partners in crooking said that GG authenticated it for the purchaser
They cleaned out a elderly longtime Mopar collector by running a business for him that he was too old to run
That was in 1999

I spoke to the guy in Vegas also.
I believe he had the car advertised in HMN.
He told me he purchased the car out of Atlanta area.
He seemed to know a lot about the car but I never could get the guy
to send me any photos.
Then he fell off the planet and commo ceased.

hi all, i saw where there was "another" GTX convertible thread, so i am posting my info here too. thanks.

hi all,

i am also interested in finding out about any other 69 GTX converts there are out there. Particularly scorch red ones and 4-speeds. that's what mine is. I'd also appreciate any information on it at all. (good bad and ugly included) I'm sure i paid too much for it in late 2009, but took a chance on how the market would go and really wanted a white interior/red and 4-speed, so figure there aren't too many that come for sale, though I did see the one on Ebay (super nicer than mine) go for 55K this is the same car. (sorry if I am repeating any info from previous posts, i had a pretty good look first, but may have missed something)
http://www.turnerautomotive.com/1969_gtx_red_vert.htm

I bought mine from Glyn Ferrell in Missouri and it was briefly at Fastlane Cars in MO. unfortunately it was not "super" work done on the car, but I "think" for the most part it's pretty solid underneath. It is non numbers matching and is missing the radiator support as it's been replaced. however the numbers match on the trunk lip. I'm open to open and honest comments on it. you may not be able to see this on my page but i have this info as well.here is a link to mine.

"This is my GTX convertible. Would love to hear from others who own one or who has interest in them. I am also trying to find the previous owner, Glora M Beck of Alma, IL. If anyone has any contact info, that would be appreciated."

one guy on ebay said that Govier claimed there were only 25 '69 4 speeds left in existence, but I assume that meant that only 25 were "registered" any info is appreciated. thanks.

thanks, Dale

This one was bought off a used car lot here in Fresno in 1981 (asking price about $3,200) by a guy who became a friend of mine. He sold it to the current owner in 1987. There is talk of it finally getting restored. It was pretty nice in the 1980s, by those standards. 440/4sp/air grabber...I don't recall if it had 4.10 or 3.54 gears originally.

Back in the early 90's, my family and I looked at a 69 GTX vert that was for sale by the owners father in either White Lake, Mi or Grass lake, MI (I dont remember exactly). I do remember it was a B5 exterior, B7 interior 440 4 speed center console air grabber hood car with a fender tag and supposedly all numbers. It was in need of a resto. Solid, just tired looking. The story was that the son who owned the car lived out of state and the dad was selling it for him, but the old man said he wanted all the cash for the car and he would send us the title once his son sent it up from down south somewhere. We passed, sounded sketchy.

It did come with an extra replated trunk trim panel as I recall, no other parts. Always wondered what happened to that car.

I know the car and ex owner of this 69 Red GTX Convert he is a friend of mine. This ex-owner at the same time also had a GTX B5 Blue white interior white top convert but I think it started life as a Sport Satelite but not for sure. Alma is 12 miles from me. Don't know where you got the name Glora Beck ?? Dale pm me to get the old owner contact info. Also I may have the original Dana for the car. Check your axle tube info to verify, as I bought 2 dana's from him 3 years ago.

Regards,

Hi again all,

I ran across this from an old Ebay auction and wondered if you guys think this "could" be accurate. I assume there's no way to really know, which made me wonder why the person stated it, but here it is.
thanks
Dale

First of all they only made 178 - 4 Speed Convertibles, "Out of those numbers only 11 were R6 Red"

It's funny how I saw this one sell at least twice on Ebay in the past month or so but then it showed up at the Atlantic City Auction last week and was bid to 45K and didn't sell.
Alot of games being played with that one. Didn't look bad in person but not perfection, at 35-38K it would be a good deal. At 45K too much still needing attention. Guess that car is destined to a life of no love.
