It's got to be close to 50 years. I'm looking for the GTX's birthday, like the date that it was introduced to the press, or when the 1st one was built. So I can have a party to celebrate 50 years of my favorite muscle car! beer

Hopefully Carlisle does something to honor the first GTXs and R/Ts next year. While I never owned either one, both are some of my favorites.

If you go to the library and look through Automotive News on microfilm, you should find the announcement. It's prob sometime early in Sept. 1966.
