GTX spotted in The Grand Tour

[funknut]

Was watching The Grand Tour (Top Gear reboot on Amazon) and spotted this GTX.

Site note, is there a thread for spotting B bodies in the wild? I thought I remembered one but couldn't find it with a fair bit of searching.

Nice car....I wonder if that is @MarPar cruising around?

It does look like his GTX - only it appears to be a drop top. Mario’s is a hard top -no?

If you can believe the plot of the skit, this scene was filmed near Buffalo, NY, if that helps.

Yep, just checked....I remembered the white - but he has a hardtop and a white interior.
Cool car all the same....who owns it then?

But yup, thats a NY plate

When that episode went "live", a couple of us mentioned the GTX sighting on the B-Body group on Facebook
right away. I seem to recall a member chiming in that the car is fairly well known in that part of the country
as an original hemi convertible?
I'll try to find the thread on it...

EDIT: Ah, nevermind. Someone thought it was a Goldberg car.

@kiwigtx, tis not me. Thanks for the honorable mention though

Wonder if it's the 68 Hemi GTX RC owned many moons ago.
