Re: sixty9 gTx - 10/03/12 08:29 PM
Thanks, I've owed the car for about 12yrs. Got it out of New Mexico, motor spun a bearing in 1974, they took the motor out and the car was parked ever since. It's got 54,000 original miles, two owner car. It was a hard 54,000 miles. Car was hit it left front and rear quarter. It was a 70's repair where they cut the frame rail and just welded it up. Quarter was replaced with about the same quality of repair. I replaced the entire frame section from another new mexico car and had a quarter put on to fix the gap and door jam area. The entire rest of the car is the original metal including floors and trunk pan. No pitting at all and in great shape.

Re: sixty9 gTx - 10/03/12 08:36 PM
thanks, the original 440 is lone gone when they pulled it back in the 70's. So I figured a Hemi would be the next best thing. I'm trying to keep it period correct and as origional appearing as possible. 4-speed and Dana are original to the car with just some re-freshing as everything has been sitting for 40 yrs. I did switch over the bell housing and starter to a Hemi bell w/ direct drive starter to keep with the period correct idea.

Thanks guy's I appreciate it. It's been taking awhile, but so far it's been worth the wait. I can't wait to get the top done to see how it looks against all that red. I have the quarter trim back from the plater/buffer and they turned out great. I hope to get these in this weekend and finish up the door planels, arm rest pads and window felts in, then it will be ready to go off to have the headliner and top installed. Then dynomate, carpet, seat belts, seats, rear interior panels and window trim and the interior will be finally done.

Both the tail lights and tail panel are the originals and both replated. There was little to no pitting on either, so they turned out pretty nice. Not looking forward to painting them. Lots of masking off to do. I'll post some pics when I get them done.

I looked at that exact color combination A LONG time ago at the nats. except it was an original Hemi car.
I tried my best to buy it then but couldn't get the money together fast enough. Car was painted red with LOTS of metallic in the paint. But was an original R6 red / red interior hemi 4 spd car. but the hemi was missing.
To this day I wonder where that car ended up.
A few years later I did buy another 1969 GTX Red with red interior 440 4 spd car ( no vinyl top ) But sold it many years ago, last I heard that car went to Jersey and never heard about it again
