It was a pretty basic 67 GTX. B5 Blue, they called it Bright Blue metallic, torque flight on the column, no console, or buddy seat. Standard 3:23 sure grip rear end. Radio and rear seat speakers then all glass tinted. That was all the options. It was a strong street car. Stayed up pretty good with Larry Wirtje's 65 396/427 Biscayne sedan that a ran really well. No, I didn't beat him, but did put a scare into him at the time.

Yes, I knew Jim fairly well, but really got to know him in the 80's. He raced that Chrysler LeBaron that was very interesting. Nice guy.
Didyou say you are on Facebook? The Neita group there featured Jim's wagon this week. If you are a Facebooker I can invite you to the group. You can PM me your name if you want.Capture.PNG
