Did the one on the left come from NJ? I sold one that looked very similar for my boss about 10 years ago on ebay, I think it went to Kentucky IIRC. I have some pics and the fender tag info too.
No that one sold new in south western ILL.
440 4spd , B7 Blue, with all blue int, 3.54 Dana
the one on the right sold new in I think central Indiana somewhere - B5 Blue, blue and white interior , column auto 3.23 open rear.
Last I heard the 4 spd car is in Louisville Ky and the auto car is in Las Vegas NV

Oh ok, this one was also blue/blue interior, white top, black hood stripes, 440 but with console auto, 3.55 I believe. I'll try to dig up the info I have on it.
Interesting, I looked at one in Jersey right before I bought my 1st one in the fall of 1992 ( the one on the right)
Blue exterior, all blue interior , console auto, factory a/c car. but missing it's vin tag. Non matching numbers car.( he told me over the phone it was ) The guy who owned it had a used car lot.
I was not a happy camper after driving all night to pick that car up to find this info out when I got there.
I was all over the country looking at 1969 GTX convertibles before I bought my 1st one.

Here are a few that have been on eBay in the last couple of years. 
Top right F5/Black GTX is a disaster.
I owned this car for 24hrs.
The first and last car I ever bought w/out an inspection.
Owner was not available on the weekends and I could not fly there during the week.
It was for sale at a small collector car dealership in PA.
Owner swore it was number matching with no rust repair.
What an abortion.
It has a 72 transmission, the block was stamped with bogus font the whole VIN and they put 23 instead of 27 on their attempt at forgery.
The car had been back halved and the trunk rail had a different VIN on it.The dash VIN had been attached with regular rivets.
The paperwork that came with the car came with a receipt from the body shop that welded the car back together with a slavage title for the donor car..............
I guess I was lucky to get my $ back. I told him he could send it back or I would come get it personally.
I lost $1000 for shipping and told him he should pay me for that.
(It would have cost about that to get there to inspect the car) I was still pretty hot about the whole thing.
The car popped up (the above photo) at a dealership in St. Louis MO. Advertised as a # matching high end restoration. I called them and told them what I knew. They seemed dazed and confused but I pointed out I paid 30K less than they were asking for the car and I would have never sent it back if it was a correct car.
A day later I received a call from the dealer I bought the car from in PA raising all kinds of cain with me. I can't type what my response was.
Now you know the rest of the story.......

Interesting, I looked at one in Jersey right before I bought my 1st one in the fall of 1992. Blue exterior, all blue interior , console auto, factory a/c car. but missing it's vin tag. Non matching numbers car.
That sounds eerily like the one I looked at that was being sold by the owner of Brewster Motors, Brewster, NY around 1996-1998. The dealer told me it was all #'s. After taking the 3 hr drive found out there were no #'s at all. The VIN was state issued (no tag) and there was so much grime on the engine you couldn't find a number. I wanted to strangle the guy...the owner of a dealership no less.
Like Bill, I was pretty active looking for a nice GTX or RT vert during the April 1994- June 1998 period. During that time I listed every '68-'69 GTX/RT vert that showed up in Hemmings...and called on about every decent one for sale around the country (sorry, no internet). During that 4yr period HMN had 22 total 69's, all different, including both of Bill's and Dave's blue cars listed above. 9 of the cars were blue. 6 were listed as #'s. 5 had AC. 5 were 4 speeds.
Went to see Rik Smit's (Poughkeepsie NY area) white/tan w/black top console automatic in 1997. #'s, dealer invoice, 3.23 console auto, ps-mb, am.
It had a build sheet, but for a different car with a very close serial #.
Another car I remember well is a blue/white/white console auto out of Windsor, NY in Oct 1997. PS-PB-AG, AM 8 track. The car was advertised as an older restoration. I took the 4 hour drive to find out it had holes in the wheel wells the size of a football as well as numerous baseball size holes elsewhere. That was not a fun drive home. It later became the "king of perfumed pigs" when it appeared for sale as "freshly restored" at July 1998 Carlisle by its new PA owner. The "restoration" included gallons of bondo poured into the trunk/wheel wells and plenty of chicken wire to keep it all together. Haven't seen that car since. Funny that it was $16,500 when I saw it as a rust bucket. And it was still $16,500 after the "resto." One of the few verts I've seen that needed a full resto right after it completed one....  Hopefully, someone since gave this desireable car a proper resto along the way.

Bet you a dollar to a donut it was the same car, I drove nearly 10 hours. To say I was pissed is a huge understatement .
I know the guy owned a used car lot in New Jersey New York area, but I don't remember the name of the place.
It wss supposed to be matching numbers drivetrain and rust free, it was neither. The missing vin tag was just icing on the cake.
He said I could drive it home, with the huge section of the radiator that the fan had eaten away at. I had my doubts it would drive around the block without overheating, let alone 500 miles
What sucked is the car was loaded almost perfect for what I like. 440 auto, a/c and a folding top.
He wanted something like $11.5K, I offered $5K cash.......... His reply was I insulted him.
It was all I could do keep from hitting him,,AND his little snake in the grass car salesman that kept saying how much of a cream puff it was and how I was getting such a good deal .
I came home and bought the B5 blue car above .

You may be referring to this one from Wayne NJ but it's a Blue interior and no console.
Guy was asking 55K for a while but it was non matching and should have been B7 although the owner wouldn't believe me.
He kept saying how rare it was because it was a "DRAG PACK CAR"
Looks a lot better in pictures than in person.

Or you may be referring to my old car after I sold it to a guy from North Jersey.
440 4speed 4.10 dana. It has new floors quarters and trunk.
Was painted a GM blue that was like an enhanced B-5, original color is Y-2.

As of about 6 years ago, there was a 69 Hemi/Auto GTX vert, i think F8 green, in northern Virginia, owned by a guy named Leon. He drove it quite a bit to local shows, so it is probably a known car, but I can post pics tomorrow.

How many automatics with A/C were made?
from the "other" '69 GTX convertible thread
US spec. 1969 GTX convertibles (RS27):
RS27 / E86 / D32 / H51 ~ 81 cars
Great lookin' car!  Is that clear glass with the A/C? If the car was built after 1/1/69 it should have headrests.

Great thread, but what I find strange and kind of funny is that you see allot of 69's and a few on this post that are restored to day one but THEY HAVE 68 WHEELS on them instead of the correct 69 wheels with trim rings, I just think its kind of silly to have a car that is so correct except for wheels. That has always really bugged me.
Anyhow, I will share info on a few converts that I remember from my past here soon : )
Okay here's one with correct (original) wheels..this is the one with A/C, cruise control, power windows, power steering, power brakes, 3.55 axle package, 8-track player, tach, remote adjust mirror, A01 light package, bucket seats, console, Torqueflite, black interior with a black vert top, front and rear bumperetts.........and he ordered but never got the air grabber (because of the A/C) but it has the three speed wiper, AND THE AIR GRABBER HOOD SCOOP INLET GRILLS but not air grabber! The owner ordered it in 1969 when he was going to school in the Daytona, Florida area and he told me he ordered the air grabber option and swears the open grills have been there from day one.

The ones I remember that were in Minn.
Looked at a Medium green Console auto car in Mpls in 78, black top and seats, AG also, had CB stickers on the back bumper, was suprised it had its 'Road Wheels' and not mags, had a fair amount of bondo and was starting to bubble out in a few places. drove by the place a year later and it was still sitting in the guys backyard, I think he wanted 1,300, dont know its fate, was not so crazy on the color, he wanted to sell it to use as a down payment for a cabin for him and his wife.
A red car(R6 I think ?) with Black top and gut crusing downtown Mpls in the late 70's, It looked nice, a few years later I think this was the car that was in the classifeds in the mpls paper, think it was a 4 speed, price was I think 8,000
about 82 looked at a B7 column auto, B5 seats, white top I think, (it was a long time ago)Guy wanted 600, it was Full of dents, someone took a dent puller to the pass 1/4, looked like it was full of bullet holes. a bit of rust also.
And then there was the Bronze column auto white top and gut car that was sitting on a Mink farm for many years, very low miles, cleaned up and sold to Daimler Chrysler and shiped to their museum in Germany about 10 years ago.
Was told of a B5 one that my body man went to look at about 10 years ago in St Paul, he said it was rough and that the owner thought 20 to 30 K to restore was too much, not sure if its still there
Also remember one at Mopars in the park many years ago, B5- 4 speed console, black top and gut, from Wisc, very nice, wonder where it is now along with the others and if those live today.

1969 Plymouth GTX, #'s matching 440/727/8.75" (3:23 SureGrip), almost completely rust free, 100% original sheet metal, one repaint of original B7 Jamaican Blue Metallic, B7 Blue interior with buckets/console. Seller has owned for the 20+ years and has just decided that he'd like to sell as he's not using it as much these days. Extensive documentation, always garaged, and very well maintained. N96 Air grabber added to the car. The car can potentially be considered a survivor given the orginality of the undercarrage, it still has the original door panels, factory chrome trim, etc. The factory applied undercoating is not peeling anywhere! Still equipped with its factory original exhaust hangers! 100% rebuilt drivetrain: (440 engine, 727 transmission, and the 8-3/4" rear), New recored radiator and heater core using high quality high capacity US made cores on factory original tanks. New suspension bushings, shocks, factory torsion bars, replacement correct rear leaf springs (have orignal leaf springs). Finding a 69 GTX convertible is hard enough, nevermind a #'s matching and very original car with TONS of the desired paperwork -

this is '68 GTX vert - what is it worth?? (assume for purposes of the question that the car is in #2 shape)
This highly documented, Arizona GTX that has been Galen Govier certified. Govier has the car listed in his Chrysler Registry as #24 of 56 Plymouth GTX convertibles and the only one built with a green convertible top. Additional documentation includes; warranty book, owners manual, Certicard, build sheet, buyers order, and tons of maintenance records. The 440 Super Commando starts right up and this GTX drives like new! Additional options and features include; Automatic Trans, Power Steering, Power Brakes, Power Top, Tachometer, Factory AM Radio, Tinted Glass, Convertible Boot, Tire Tools, Full Spare, 14" Factory Wheels, and NEW Coker Classic Redlines!

I have an RS27J9G car I look periodically for the 11 or 16 if the Canadian cars are included. Here are the ones I now know about, however, I have never met or talked with another RS27J9G owner just what I have seen on the internet. Mine though in this picture shows well (or maybe ok) is unrestored the paint is very weathered on the other side this is the good side. So far 5 USA ones #1 Restorations by Julius B5 Blue exterior, White top, White interior Found in A West Virginia Salvage yard #2 Restorations by Julius Black exterior, Black interior, White top #3 The Green one in this thread with the White top, White interior owned by Leon in Virginia at one time (didn't know about this one until today) #4 The Red with Black interior Black top mentioned in this thread.(didn't know about this one until today) #5 Mine F8 Green exterior, Black interior w/console, White top And the Canadian #1 Green exterior Tan interior Black top RS27J9G130461 (this one has been through Barrett Jackson I believe) Canadian / Otis Chandlers/ Steve Juliano's Green Exterior Tan interior Black top Kelsey Hays wheels #2 Bronze exterior Tan interior Black top Dupont Registry RS27J9G237xxx - T7 automatic #3 RS27J9G120xxx - A4 automatic #4 RS27J9G233xxx - ?? #5 RS27J9G247xxx Did they actually find all five of the Canadian? Cars/Info that I don't know exactly where they fit in the picture... One sold at a Mecum auction St Charles Il I believe October 14-16 of 2008 but I don't know anything other than it was an automatic Hemi convertible about the car. the John Petrie "Supercar Clinic" car

Not exacly sure why we have a '68 GTX convertible WIW in this thread, when there is a whole forum dedicated to WIW? 
 anyway, I've got a b'cast sheet from a '68 GTX convertible RS27L8G233753 automatic (TT1 S6F 300 313) - "avacaodo green metallic"/green int./green top/white stripe.

The CANADA spec. cars were listed in MCG back in '91. RS27J9G120xxx - A4 automatic RS27J9G130xxx - F8 automatic (above Juliano/Chandler/BJ) Musclecar Classics 6/87 RS27J9G233xxx - ?? RS27J9G237xxx - T7 automatic (above) RS27J9G247xxx - ?? Always wondered which of the above was the John Petrie "Supercar Clinic" car? Was it a factory CANADA spec. HEMI car?

Yes, I was in contact with the owner at the time it was for sale, his name is Dave from Ma, he sent me a copy of the Fender Tag.

I believe these 2 listings are the same car, & IIRC Steve Juliano owned it also.
FYI car should have white top, white stripes, steel wheels, white wall tires, no blackout hood. No build sheet/no tags. When i saw it for sale at BJ years after i owned it I mentioned to the seller that I used to own it. He blew me off. Then later galen asked if they could use my name over the mic to say it was once mine. I blew them off. The car had been stripped of many of the trick nos parts that were on it when i sold it. One cool thing about the car was that when it was delivered new to Trumbull Motors in Alberta?? it had a sport satellite finish panel on it.

Steve if the car had no build sheet or tag how to you know what it was when new ? I am thinking you talked to the first owner maybe ? interesting it came with a Sport Satellite finish panel.thats neat, bet this one had a interesting history, when you say 'trick nos parts' not sure what you mean.

Of all the Mopars, I love the 69 GTX convertable the best. I will never forget my school teacher ordering one in 69'. If you worked hard, got the best grade etc. he would give you a ride in it. Probably scarred me for life! LOL. I was never able to find one so built the only convertable B body I could find, my 66' Coronet. I was at the Grand Run with the Coronet in the show a couple of weekend ago and every other person who looked at the car asked if I had seen the "original" 69 HEMI GTX convertable on the strip? I spent two nights, walking the strip until I found it. Very nice young man from the Dallas area had brought it up. It has been in his family since the early 80s. I talked with him for some time. The car has over 90% original paint! Even seems to have the original neg battery cable! Although rough from age, the car showed just over 11,000 miles! Of course it was greeen. The car had been given to the young man by his father with the understanding that it would never be sold or restored. He is a member here and I am suprised that he has not posted the car. I would encourage him to do so. It is the most amazing GTX vert that I have ever seen being original in so many ways. The car had a very interesting history that he shared with me. Sorry no pics, it was late at night, dark, duh! and I did not have camera with me. Trust me, it was worth the whole trip just to see this car. The offers that the very nice young man had turned down were unbelievable so perhaps that is why he has not posted. He can't sell or trade the car under any circumstances due to his promise to his father. I respect that in an honorable young man, hard to find these days.

Hello Hemi Ragtop, the one you are talking about belongs to Jcuda70 and you are correct...a very nice unrestored survivor. He and his brothers were very lucky to have a dad that had a passion for old cars.I joke with them all the time about how I could start a new tv show about bad a$$ cars and film first 20 episodes on the cars they own!  PS..he drives this car often, no trailer queen.

yes i did speak to the original owner plus he gave me a nice clear photo of the car the day he picked it up at the dealership. i forgot to mention it did not have a woodgrain wheel as well. by trick nos parts i mean the super rare nos original stuff that i use on all my restorations. i would rather not say what was taken by one or more of the owners of the car but there is much missing. obviously the recall wheels (which i put on but were not there when new) are missing. those had rare original centers, rings, and lug nuts. also the nos redline tires are missing (again it was a whitewall car). lots more seems to have "fallen off" the car. btw i did find an nos sports satellite finish panel yet never used it. its probably buried in my attic somehwere....

Just came across this thread as dad just got a new addition to the family. Traded our 70 el Camino SS 396 plus some cash for a T3 Honey Bronze 69 GTX vert. As soon as they come back from NH with the car, I will be sure to add the info for the registry.
The place that was selling the car said that there were only about 50 of the 69 GTX verts painted in the Honey Bronze. Any way of proving that? Its a 440 auto console car with tan interior and black top.

The John Petrie Hemi GTX convertible, raced by team member Paul Paterson. Sold to racer Don Cloake and rolled during a race in St. Thomas, Ontario. It seems to have disappeared since then.
I believe there was a thread on here about John Petrie and this car burned up while being trailered if I remember right.

So if that was only on the broadcast sheet, how do they know for certain since every broadcast sheet possibly never made it into that car?

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. https://www.flickr.com/groups/1361580@N24/"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 Greenville, NC

Got pics? I'm betting, NO!  Car does not have it's original fender tag & did NOT have a tag when Dave had it/found it. He and/or Galen set up the tag info that was posted with Dave's HEMI GTX 'vert find story in a NHOA newsletter decades ago. I personally saw original paint parts off the car & pictures use to be on the "RbyJ" website of the disassembled car. IMO it was originally B7 - "Jamaica blue metallic". YES, it was claimed to be "B5" in the NHOA story.

There was a T7 hemi GTX vert that was out at Carlisle last year that was poorly restored. I wonder if that was the same one.
I am compiling a registry for the 69 GTX verts and so far I have a total of 16 in the registry. Anyone who would like to share their info would be greatly appreciated.

Are all the Hemi Verts accounted for??
I know of one 69 GTX HEMI vert in upstate NY....been off the radar for decades, it's currently welded on a 4X4 chassis,...the current owner has plans on a full resto, original driveline long gone, but the body is mostly intact, tags still present
IIRC only 5 cars are accounted for?

oopppsss just looked..its a 68..And its gold..
with a green interior 
Quote:
Steve’s GTX was the ’68 press vehicle used in the January ’68 Car Craft, February ’68 Car Life, March ’68 Popular Hot Rodding and September ’68 Car Life. It’s also a one-of-36 Hemi convertible—hopefully the only one that is gold with a green interior. The car recently won its class in the prestigious Meadowbrook Hall Concours d’Elegance, but Steve has a standing offer to Car Craft to drive the car from Detroit to Los Angeles, as they did in 1968.
Steve did drive the car from LA to Detroit, IIRC it was covered in HOT ROD.

could very well have been that same one. The one I saw in the one building out at Carlisle had the 3 speaker dash and if I recall correctly had the hood pins too.

I gotta say seeing that car at Carlisle made me cringe. A car that could be such a fine car was restored by a person who specialized in GM cars. You could even tell that the car was done by a GM guy as it had a braided ground cable from the fireall to the engine. The door latches were painted body color. The T7 was the wrong shade (it seemed too dark). The dash paint was way too thick and not the special suede finish to the paint. Another guy who owns a 69 GTX vert and I were giving the guy pointers on what needed to be done to bring it back to OE type condition and in order for it to be done, the entire car would have had to be totally redone. I even seem to recall the black painted part of the pedals were painted the T7 body color.

Got pics? I'm betting, NO!
Car does not have it's original fender tag & did NOT have a tag when Dave had it/found it. He and/or Galen set up the tag info that was posted with Dave's HEMI GTX 'vert find story in a NHOA newsletter decades ago. I personally saw original paint parts off the car & pictures use to be on the "RbyJ" website of the disassembled car. IMO it was originally B7 - "Jamaica blue metallic".
YES, it was claimed to be "B5" in the NHOA story.
No pics, Dave just sent me the info he said was on the tag, hummm, thanks for clearing that up

I'd say as long as the partial VIN stampings are still on the rad support and trunk drip rail and haven't been replaced / grafted in with new metal and it all matches the VIN on the dash, that it would be an original hemi car.

hi all, probably what I should have said is I may know where a few ended up or are now for sale, just by looking online, but not sure if that's very important. if so, i can post what i can remember. also, you may already be doing this, but is there a way to work with www.plymouthgtx.net on the registry?

Dale,
You have my direct email address. You can email it to me there. This way there is no problems with the site or the thread.

If it's the same car the tan with tan int Hemi car was once owned by Rene Deslisle( sp ck )
Rene sold the car to a Phil Jackson in Mo.
Phil sold the car to a Nick S in Pa .
Last I heard about the car it was back on the market due to this Nick S was in bad health .
When I was trying to buy the car ( late 90's ) it was in the high $40 low $50k price range.
We were trying to make a partial trade with my 4 spd GTX and cash. But before I could get it don ,,Phil J sold the car.
When I was after the car it had never had a 'restoration' so to speak. more of a sprucing up over time.

ok, sorry, I'm new at this (as you can probably tell)
Dale,
I looked at a red with white int 4 spd car in northern Indiana in the south Bend area about 1992 ??? Same guy had a blue with blue int 69 Roadrunner vert with factory air. He bought both cars in southern Ca,,,,,and had them shipped to his parents house which is where I looked at them
That particular GTX had a sticker on the windshield from the south western Indiana area.
440 4 spd , white int, manual drum brakes. Master cyl was out on the car and I was afraid to drive it home like that. and at the price point we were at it wasn't cost effective at the time to have it shipped home.
About the same time frame I looked at a second R6 GTX vert in the Columbus Ohio area but it had a tan / white interior ,,,also 4 spd car

hi, bill t hanks for the post. do you think it may have been the same car?
also, do you recall any major rust (quarters, etc) , including any on the "key components" of the unibody "frame" such as frame rails, etc.?
thanks.
Dale
From 'what I remember' the car was pretty solid and would have came home with me had the brakes not been an issue.
I was told I could drive it home so we didn't take a trailer with us. It was advertised in Hemmings when I saw it.

Thanks. I actually had this one in the registry however, I just got all of the fender tag codes for it also. The car was originally a T5 Bronze and had a white and tan interior. Looks like someone took some liberties with the car over its life like a color change and also went to an all tan interior instead of a white and tan which would have looked really good I think.

Yup, got that one in the registry too. I'm curious why they changed the factory black interior to a black and tan interior. Total of 19 cars so far in the registry.

As of right now, I have 4 in the registry that have the 4 spds. The others, except for 3 which are unknown trans at this time, are the automatics. The three unknowns, all I have is the VIN for them so far.

Dale,
In 69 there was no break down for exterior color paint as to how many came painted what color. I think that started in 70. However, like you, we were told that our 69 GTX vert with 440 and auto, was "about 1 of 50 painted in the T3 Honey Bronze color" but there is no way to prove it yet. I am compiling a list and a registry of what 69 GTX verts are left known to exist with who has a fender tag, window sticker, and/or broadcast sheet. So far the yellow seems to be most popular color. Ours is the only T3 Honey Bronze in the list so far though.

I used to own the Canadian A4 69 Hemi GTX Convertible. Shortly after I bought the car out of western Canada I was talking with Don Cloake and he told me the 69 Hemi GTX ragtop they had in the race program was also a silver car and it had burned when very new. Subsequently the photos of the car indicate it could gave been white and it fell off a trailer at some point. It may have burned after that for some reason.
Rene's 69 GTX ragtop was a bondo bucket, typical of a car that was driven in Canadian winters.
The VINs of the Canadian 69 Hemi GTX convertibles are known and have been published. Colours are silver, green, bronze and silver or white. The fifth one I do not know. I will dig out the VINs and list them.
The one I owned has been fully restored by the current owner and is an awesome car. NOM, but sheet and tag. Hemi, column auto, ps, pdb, ow, white top, AM radio, performance hood treatment, 3.23, SG,black buckets, red side stripe.

There is a 68 or 69 GTX that's in my town that I first saw around 86-87. B5 blue with a black roof and gut. 4-speed. I see it once or twice a year but have never spoken to the gentleman. Based on tone, it's got a cam. Also has a deep oil pan. Magnum 500's all around. Hope to see him this year so I can get a better look at the car.

If that is a 69 GTX vert, please see if you can get any info on the car or info on the fender tag so I can add it to the registry. Larry was kind enough to give me his info as I did not have his car in the registry. We are now up to 24 known cars to exist out of the last knonwn number from 2002 which was 47. Great number considering I haven't been collecting info for that long. Thanks to everyone who has helped and contributed to it!

Looks like I have another two to add to the registry! This is the first A4 car now in the registry. How long ago did you own this car and do you possibly know where it is today? Do you have any pictures of the car? A4 must have been a killer color on this with a black top and black interior! Ron, I just saw the 4th attachment on the previous page and saw the fender tag info. I did not have your car in the registry but will now ! We are now up to 26 ! Thanks again for everyones help ! I really appreciate it !

I sold the car as a project in 2006. It is fully restored now and is probably one of the best Hemi GTX convertibles out there. The engine was stolen in the early 70s so it is NOM. The GTX came with a white convertible top. I have a copy of the sheet somewhere.
The car is still here in Canada and the owner is pretty happy to keep it at this point. I will try and find some photos.

Excellent. Thanks again. Any information you have on it I would love to add to the registry, even if it is something as simple as a VIN. I was able to get the fender tag info at a later point and associate it to a VIN I had in the registry already.
With such a limited production car (only 700 made) I would love to try and get a fairly accurate number of how many of these amazing cars are still around. Like I said, the last count was in 2002 and there were 47 left known to exist. With 13 years gone by, who knows what might have been left to rot away or gotten into an accident and been totaled out.
With all this information that I am compiling, it should give us a pretty good estimate as to what cars might have been equipped with what for some kind of ratio.

I know of a local one that is blue now but was originally bronze, I believe. In the St. Louis area. There is actually a 1967 b5 blue 4 speed, my dads 68 b5 blue 4 speed, and that 1969 gtx auto here within 10 miles of each other. I just bought a 68 Sport satellite convertible off here and was going to be "that guy" to make it a gtx, but I have to sell it.  EDIT: I also want to say that there was a 1969 for sale at a local classic car place, but doesn't show up on their website anymore. It was Fastlane Classic Cars in St. Charles MO. I'll have to look through my old phone to see if I have pictures.

Thanks again for everyone's help ! I just added 3 more to the registry and I am now up to 27 known. Not too bad considering the last known to exist count was 13 years ago and had 47 at the time.
Of those :
3 are hemi cars
7 are 4 spds

do you have a VIN or anything else to set the car apart from others?

I do have one in the registry with a similar exterior / interior color combo and a 440 / auto combination. I have limited info on it with only the VIN and the other info I posted. I still need to get the fender tag options off of it.

Have you ever tried hooking up with David Smith from the Detroit area? David had been compiling a GTX Registry in the early 90s late 80s.
I will see if I still have contact information for him.

Hi Dale,
I did not have either of those. Thanks. I'll add them to the registry.
I was not aware of Dave Smith. If you could PM me his info if you find it I would greatly appreciate it.
Registry is now up to 31 cars! Some of the newly acquired are VIN numbers only but at least that still gives us some info about the engine size.

Great thread, but what I find strange and kind of funny is that you see allot of 69's and a few on this post that are restored to day one but THEY HAVE 68 WHEELS on them instead of the correct 69 wheels with trim rings, I just think its kind of silly to have a car that is so correct except for wheels. That has always really bugged me.
Anyhow, I will share info on a few converts that I remember from my past here soon : )
I have found that if the car is an early production, they could have had the "Chrome" road wheels as they would have used up the left over inventory such as the same with the black door handle button vs. the chrome button and chrome shifter knob instead of the wood grain knob. I've also seen a more squared off fender turn signal vs. the bullet style. A friend of mine has a car that is about two weeks before the SPO date of our car and his has the squared off turn signal vs. our rounded bullet style.

That could be true but I dont think that is the reason very often you see them with 68 wheels, look on ebay and over half of 69 b bodies dont have the correct wheels. lots have 68 wheels.

there is a silver blue one a past co-worker of mine has since he was young (I still run into him). He does not advertise he has it. Its a 440 with black interior and top. Just sits in his garage. Add that to your list. I always tried to get the car from him, gave up. Its been so long, I cant remember if its a 4spd or auto, think its an auto. Non original motor, from what I remember. I can find out if you want me too. Here is another one (a 4spd, been here a while) http://www.specialtysales.com/vehicles/1099

I think the reasoning behind you seeing the chrome rims is that they are cheaper than replacing the rims plus finding the correct trim rings as they are a one year only trim ring for 1969.

Hello all, neat thread. I have a B5 69 X convert that I have had since 1982. I purchased it from Nick Satenstein in PA. (He was one of the owners of the bronze hemi ragtop that was discussed earlier) I bought the GTX while I was in college and restored it when I got out. Finished in 1988 with as many NOS parts as were available at the time. We have driven it to many Mopar Nationals events, my wedding, brought the kids home from the hospital in it, and other cool life events. It is a black interior, with console 4 speed. AM/FM, Airgrabber, disc brakes. It was featured in 1994 Mopar Action and used for the Ertl die cast model. It still had the build sheet and fender tag, but the original engine was already gone. It is showing it's age, but we are still having fun with it. Thanks for putting the list of cars together. Chris

Correct, those trim rings (2944161)could be about the hardest part to find for these cars, you rarely see them come up for sale, if you do see a 69 with trim rings 9 out of ten times they are not the correct ones.

I agree. I have probably close to 30 (varying conditions) if not more of them as spares since I restored a set of 4 of them for my 69 Charger. I have another set on my road wheels with radial tires which are decent for a driver but not suitable for a pristine show car. Looks like I will have to restore another set for Dad's car now and hopefully he can get the chrome road wheels for his radial redlines when he gets them.
Whenever I am at a swap meet, I always look out for them as I usually purchase them in whatever condtion as long as I can restore them at some point. Sadly, no one has reproduced these trim rings. Although they were a one year only item, they were used throughout the Mopar line as any body style car that had these (A, B, and C bodies) used this trim ring if they had gotten the road wheels.

I didn't know this I have wondered why mine has the chrome shifter knob vs the wood grain knob and sure enough I have the black button I believe my car pulled off of the dealer lot early December of '68

Jcuda70,
The chrome shifter knob vs. the wood grain is an early / late production. They used up the inventory at the factory of the 68 style chrome shifter knobs and then phased in the wood grain ones. Same goes for the Chrome Magnum 500 wheels and then phased in the 69 style Road Wheels with the trim rings.

I have never heard this about the wheels being 'phased' in before. do you have anything to support this ?

The door buttons are a long known fact as are the shifter knobs. Ron

Why would the factory not use the left over all chrome Magnum rims until that supply was used up? Would it have made financial sense for Chrysler to just sit on those full chrome rims instead of putting them on the cars like they did with the black buttoned door handles and the chrome shift knobs? I see no reason why Chrysler wouldn't have done this. As long as it did not effect the fit or the function of the part, they changed out stuff all the time just to keep the assembly line moving.
I'm sure if we searched hard enough, we will come across some late 68 dated chrome Magnum rims that were installed on some early 69 model year cars.

I recall and I cannot remember where a story about a guy who ordered a RR or a GTX very early in the model year, he told the salesman he liked the 68 wheels better, the salesman said he could swap them out when the car came in with ones they had in stock, so he placed his order and thats what they did.
If they were avaiable the car would would of came with them.
Again not from the factory, a door botton you hardly notice, wheels you would really notice. I have to side with this thought from what I saw growing up. Mind you I was 10-11 in 69/70 but I had my head in all the new cars I could at the local dealers and read everything I could. I think I believed I was a CAR at the time. I look at it this way, in 1972 I haven't seen any documented cars with 71 center caps. I know my neighbor worked at a dealership and told me stories of the salesman would swap anything he could within reason after the car came off the truck to make a sale. Ron

Thanks. I was actually talking to Brenda Walls this weekend at E-town and she told me about her husbands car. I also got leads on two more possible ones where I gave them my info to give to their friends. Hopefully it pans out. Right now, I have 37 in the registry.

Robert, I am the person who looked at that car, I sent you a PM I came across this post tonight and enjoyed the reading. A member mentioned a green Minnesota car that had a cb call number on the bumper and the owner was selling it for a cabin down payment. I think I eventually ended up with that car but not from that owner. I bought the car in 1984 from my neighbor in Minneapolis. It was a numbers matching 440 auto car with the chrome shift knob. I ended up selling the car in 1997 to a buddy and the he sold it to someone out in PA through a Hemmings add. I will look up to see if I have the VIN still. I have some info for the current owner and would like to fill in some history on the car for the current owner. At some point, now that I am better off financially now than when I sold the car, I may look at purchasing another. Thanks to everyone for your tenacity and work you are doing on these great automobiles.
