In your 1st post you asked how many were built, well the white book says ~178 69 GTX Converts with 4 speed built, my educated guess as far a A34 vs A33 cars would be 20-25% were A34 so at 25% that would be ~44 and at 20% ~36, how many survived life, don't know???

Awesome car by the way!!!!

Thats is one sweet ride. Can't help but like the drop top X's. One quick thought, you may want to rebuild that master cylinder before you start driving it. If its been on there for 10 years on a rebuild, it could ruin your day on it springing a leak and ruining your paint.

Had that experience on my 71 GTX. About a 10 year project and after 2 months of putting about 100 miles on it.....LEAK...and peeling paint.

yeah i got to rebuild that crusty thing again,but i did us silicone brake fluid!!

Love that car! Any pics of that shifter sticking out of the floor?

i will be starting on the interior soon (i hope)

Very nice work Artie!

Thats gonna be one sweet ride!

I had the same car a few years back, if I remember right 33 super track pack's were built

Love the car, everthing about it. IMO 69 is the ultimate GTX. I had a gold/white interior 4 speed hardtop, and of course I wish I had it back.

u should keep the cuda and sell the gtx!!!

Id say finish the GTX and make the cuda a primered cruiser/daily driver. you can never have too many mopars. Nice gtx by the way

just finished restoring the grill,bezels,headlite buckets,came out pretty nice,took a long time to do the grill.next is the doors, glass,regulators,latches,ect.i hope i stay working on it but can only do a few hours a day.i was going to buy new repo grill trim but i had such a hard time with the repo wheel well mouldings i decided to use my old ones they look o.k i had three grills to choose from took the best.

Looks very sharp!! Keep those updates coming.

stuck in the garage all last week its been the most rain i have seen in fl,but i got alot done on the gtx,put in all the glass,door latches,cleaned and installed the top frame cleane the lines and pump all works great i the original top frame was in great shape almost was able to save the operating instruction sticker but it fell off when i was cleaning it i did not paint it i left it original.i the weatherstriping is even soft i am going to reuse it.i am on a fixed income so anything i can save helps.i ordered seat foam for the front seats mine was very molded.the rear seat was in great shape i just hope it looks o.k with new front covers.i am going to try to install the conv top next week hope all go's well.hers a few pics

Great car , bad oil filter

Artie, is this the car that was in Brooklyn with I believe a Caddy or Lincoln bench seat in it at one time???

Ronnie I think that car was white or light blue.

i bought the car in chester n.y,close to middletown n.y it was a local car,had original piantand interior buckets and console when i got it was b5 with blk int and top 59,000 miles.i moved to fl in 04 and had the car just about done at that time just can't work like i used to but its almost done !!!!

Looks really nice Artie.

Your doing a great job Artie. I have a hardtop twin to your car. I've had my car for almost 7 years and I'm just getting started on it. Best of luck to you and keep up the good work.
