Dads 1967 GTX

A few of you may have seen my WIW message but I have decided to keep the old boy and put him on the road once again. This car actually belonged to my father who during a local drag blew the engine and parked it in 1980. It sat in the same spot for 29 years until recently. My father passed away in 2003 and he would always tell stories about the cars that he and my uncles use to build and run and before I became a Mopar Nut I really didn’t give it much thought. Recently my aunt decided to sell off the family land and gave me the opportunity to see if it was anything that we wanted in the old house. My uncle that was closest to my dad took me out to the car and said that I could have it if I wanted it so I called the roll back and picked it up. Its rough I know and will take many, many years to get him back on the road but the further I dug the more impressed I am with the car. It is a numbers matching 67 GTX with a factory 4speed, dana 60. No bells or whistles just a street fighter, I was able to find ¾ of the build sheet and it was a white car with black stripes. OH MY I have a long way to go! Please if you have any suggestions help me.. More to come.

and another

Looks like a cool project. A good friend of mine has his dad's 67 Belvedere. It's a blue 318 3-speed on the colom. His dad was the origonal owner and the card in the engine compartment with his name on it is still there. The car sat in a barn for years until his mom sold the farm.

You really don't see that may of them. Glad to see your going to save it. Good luck!!!

There was a white with black stripes & interior 67 440 4 speed GTX here in Spokane years ago. It was a beautiful car, looked very serious in the B&W paint scheme and it was a very nice original car. I know the task may seem daunting but when it's done you'll love the combo!

If you are not familiar with how to restore a car I suggest reading books, asking lots of questions here on Moparts, and setting up a good spacious and organized work space before tearing into the car, it will save you allot of headaches and probably money down the road.

Good luck! Very cool car!

great story. glad you decided to save it. keep us posted

I picked up a 67 GTX 4-spd car a couple weeks ago. I have always wanted one and am glad I did. Having a 67 GTX 4-spd as your first Mopar (IMO) is a special thing, it is a rare car and you will not see or hear of many like it.

Use Moparts, that's what we are here for! Ask question and do it right the first time!

Good Luck!
