Silver, black VT, 4-speed car, advertised on FB Marketplace by MAG Auctions (aka motorsportauctiongroup.com).
Mostly a nice-looking car, but lower body trim with rocker molding is like a Satellite or Sport Satellite.
I'm wondering if it's a re-body...
Last time I tried a FB link, it didn't work, so maybe someone more adept at that can post it.
Just a possible heads-up in case somebody here knows someone considering the car.

Yup, that's it.

Seems that with FBM links, one leaves off everything starting with the ? vs other links where one deletes everything after the ?
If someone can confirm that, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks, I'll try that method sometime.

So...the guy at the auction house says the owner told him he liked that lower trim better than the GTX style, so it was restored that way.
I'm skeptical, to put it politely.

Or most likley he did it that way because that 69 GTX is very hard to find

Don't believe that tag is original.
I'll let the experts chime in.

Looking at the painted over rust under the tag I would say it's not the original. Too clean and percise.

Not sure if it’s an angle or what, but something looks a bit funky about the right rear quarter. That along with the rust under the tag, wrong trim and other details create many concerns about what is hidden and what it would look like in person. Proceed with caution, be interesting to see how it’s holding up in 5 years from the recent ‘restoration’

St Louis original-fender-tag car should have evidence of its left corner bent for painting, IIRC.
If the seller has no pre-restoration photos of the GTX side trim, then without a forensic inspection, I'm thinking re-body.
Just seems odd to me that someone would add the bottom rocker moldings.
Note contour of the lower area of the rt door, and gap between grille and hood.
Interesting touch is the beefed-up front seat bolsters.
