Let's See Your Mopars.. again
Upon returning home from the UK back in 1997, I convinced my wife that we needed this GTX...
(Taken about a year after purchase)
Ran a respectable 13.3 in the quarter. Enough to help three clubmates win the Annual Club Champs trophy that year.
Spent about 3 years tearing the car apart after having some fun, and eventually made it with minutes to spare (and no sleep) to it's first outing at the Concours d'elegance show here in Feb 2002. Finished up in 4th place in the Masters Class - mainly due to age points (one point off the winner without the age points). Scored the best marks for panel & paint...and it still won a paint award after another 20 years.
Made it into several local car magazines here.
Even a Cover car for the NZ HotRod magazine....first time they didn't show the entire car - Chevy guys :rolleyes:
Took a picture in the same spot where I shot my '70 Road Runner nearly 20 years earlier...
and the Road Runner.....
The GTX and the Road Runner are gone now. But I still have my 1968 Dodge A100 pickup....and a lot of fun that is.
It went from this ....
to this, in 90 days......
....and now, nearly 12 years later, it sports an angry little 408 courtesy of BluePrint Engines.
Thanks @Johnny Mac :thumbsup:
