I'm not seeing the 100K money here. Hopefully is is solid and not eaten up underneath. Numbers 4 speed helps a ton.
68's are not that hot, 69's are more popular and worth more. That yellow color is awful.

OTOH 1968 is my favorite GTX convertible, which means little.

There is a reasone so many were Q code blue, it is a great color!

Just throwing this out there, but if you were in the market for a 1968-70 HEMI B-body Convertible, say it had to be a 4-speed. How many cars would you have to choose from?

How about if you are one of those picky collectors that insist on only matching number cars (original drivetrains) how many of those do you think survived?

Then say you know what...I don't want a 68 HEMI GTX Convertible please exclude those cars...what is the market of the many cars that remain?

Dave

around 30 built including the '68 GTXs

numbers, "good" cars & non-'68 GTX 1, 2, 3, 4 4 & two of them are GREEN

I'm sure it sold no problem.

That's both funny and free run at the same time.

Plymouth’s beat went on roaring into 1968, and if you wanted upscale Mopar performance that year, this J-Code Hemi GTX convertible was the ultimate way to travel. Introduced only one season prior, the GTX was now a refined premium design featuring performance driveline parts, unique styling cues and a stellar street-light reputation. It benefited from the new reworking of the marque’s B-body platform body, which had blossomed into a maturity, matching the age of the muscle-car movement. The engine design was now denoted on special hood trim, with the letters GTX centered on the grille, lower rocker areas and unique cast red-trim rear panel. Those facts do not make this a commonplace vehicle, however, and only 36 buyers opted to fit the ultimate Chrysler engine, the Hemi, into this ultimate convertible platform. The car offered here is one of those, featuring both its original sheet metal and original 426 Hemi engine. Beneath that notorious chrome air cleaner, the powerplant has been retrofitted with two fresh Edelbrock 4-barrel replacement carburetors and an electronic ignition for drivability, with the original Carter carburetors and factory dual-point distributor included separately with this sale. The engine here is backed by the A833 Hemi 4-speed transmission, Dana 60 Sure Grip differential and factory power brakes. Showing 19,000 believed-original miles, this classic is finished in a beautiful blue metallic with color-keyed 15-inch steel wheels, chrome hubcaps and redline tires. The top, twin rocker stripes and interior are in black, and passenger-area accommodations include headrest-equipped bucket seats, a factory 4-speed shifter, wood-grain interior accents—including the steering wheel and door panels—and a thumbwheel-style radio. As has been proven time and again, all Hemi convertibles are exclusive breeds which remain extremely popular among knowledgeable collectors; just joining that group of owners can prove to be a challenge even for the willing. This special Hemi GTX convertible is expected to draw attention before and during this auction, and will continue to do so for its new owner.

Flagged for removal????

Wow thanks Dan.

It said it's in baldwinsville ny in the ad is this where the car is ? I live in Baldwinsville that's why I ask .

A friend told me the seller is not selling it, that he was price-shopping after he bought it.

I'm sure there are a couple more that would fall into that catagory, but not many .....

I bought the Blue GTX at Mecum recently and paid 198 with the fees. it is a well documented car with 19,000 miles, all numbers matching, and never rusted, not even the trunk floor. it has been repainted but otherwise mostly original. I thought it was a good buy because I don't think I could restore this CL car for 100G and have the same quality of car that I just bought. glad most of you think the car is worth the money because it was hard for me to lay out that much money for a B body hemi convert. I tend to agree the 69's seem to bring a little more. I initially tried to buy the Green 69 Hemi X convert at the same sale and had to drop out when that car went north of 250 with the fees. that is a good car too, but it is a column auto with a non matching tranny.

Original rust free panels make your car worth a premium to others for that alone.

Thanks for taking the time to respond on here. I don't have a dog in this fight but I think your car was well bought if it is as described.
Thats a cool car.

Do you guys remember Dave Mulmuski? (spelling) out of MA years ago (early 1990's) had about six 68-69 Hemi B-Boby rags for sale for $25K each? They were mostly rollers if I remember right. He listed them in Hemmings every month. I was a struggling college kid with no money yet I dreamed of buying one of those shells. I remember saying to myself.. "Those cars will be worth double that in a few years"... LOL. Pretty sure I don't remember thinking they would be worth 200K...

most of them have been restored I believe the Q5 Road Runner 'vert at Graveyard Carz was one of them

EE1 - '68 Coronet
A4 - '69 RR
Q5 - '69 RR
B5/B7? - '69 GTX

others?

I know he had a 69 Hemi Coronet RT four speed as that was the one I always wanted.

Dave also owned the 'can opener' 1969 Road Runner Hemi ragtop F8 4 speed.
And yes the Q5 Runner was owned by Dave as well.
