Interior with all original wood grain, door panels, dash pad, pistol grip and back seat. All other original components were restored. Parts were very nice on this car.

Nice job on the restoration. I had to save a few of your pics to help me remember how to put mine back together.

That turned out great. Looks good without the hood stripes.


1970 GTX, work in progress...

Eric,

The car looks good.

It didn't have the GTX on the woodgrain? Do you think that's an LA thing?

Roger at the 70 GTX registry has not figured out the missing dash emblem secret yet.

I have a St Louis GTX without the emblem, pretty original unaltered car. Bought the car from a man that owned it since 1974 and it was not there.

***Update: 10/1970 build date.

My St Louis GTX has it.

Someone once ran a 70 Hemi GTX registry I thought and they asked me whether my car had the Plymouth emblem on the hood and the GTX on the dash. My car has both. I thought the guys name was Mike Adams but I can't remember names worth squat. Had a red automatic with tan interior IIRC.

"skinny" font LA scope & bent "funny" also eyes hammer
another California Y14 car w/NO STRIPES runaway must be something in the water out there? whistling

6-way wasn't on '69-'70 b-body tags, no extra holes or brackets required
tips should've been there, but I don't have any LA U-code GTX tag info with N95 & N42?

AWESOME GTX "biggE"!! drool

Thanks Dan. I was able to take it out to a few local Cars and Coffee before the weather changed. It runs and drives really nice.

I believe that it was originally out of South Carolina. I got it out of Redding CA.
