Good job, that's my biggest peeve, a Mopar with body color behind the grill... Great looking car

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.

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.
