71 GTX barn find without a barn - 07/28/10 09:45 AM
Hi Everybody,
My name is Jan and I run a small classic car shop in the Netherlands. My main business is building Mopar engines and transmissions for anything from the early 50's till late 70's.
I saw the project part of the forum and could not let you guys miss this.
In spring this year I got a call from a guy that told me he needed money and wanted to sell me his car.
I told him I could use some money myself but if he told me what it was and what he wanted for it I could see what I could do.
He says: It's a 71 GTX
Me: real or clone
He: real, 440-4 GTX with console
So I asked him what he was asking. Let's forget about the numbers but I ended up paying about double of what I paid for my POS 97 Dodge Caravan.
Has been sitting under a tree for about 5 years. All Chrome as new. Only bit of rust it has is the battery tray, rest is rock solid.
We are going to strip it and restore it. Will post more as soon as we start.
Here's a picture.
Greetings from the Netherlands
