I heard the story about the change to bigger for better sight from an OEM judge at the Chrysler Nationals a few years back. I know the hood scoop hid the passenger's side indicator, because I drove the car when the originals were still in place.

I've owned two Lynch Road '69 GTXs. The current one was built in September '68, and originally had the small style. Restored with NOS fenders in 1981, and got the larger ones with the outboard placement. The other one was an unrestored one owner car that was built in April. It had the larger...

I was talking to another member here about this at Carlisle last summer. We both drove our GTXs to the show. His car doesn't have a back story, but it's nicely restored, and he's brought it up to a higher level, after owning it for a couple years. Like me, he had a successful business he...

I've vetted a couple sellers in similar fashion. In both cases, bought the car. Knowledge gained enabled me to save a few steps in the closing of both deals.

Good point on the issue of condition versus miles. My GTX had 50,000 after being with the dealer for 15 years. It was a daily driver for the first five. I don't think too many got refurbished with all NOS sheet metal and exterior trim before being sold, like this one did. Climate controlled...

I know this doesn’t apply to @SlingLow, but it back fired on a guy who tried to buy a GTX from me. The car wasn’t on the market. He heard about it through the grapevine. My wife was present when he made a substantial offer. She took an instant dislike to him. Said no deal, and she has never...

This is what has drawn me back to the Chrysler Nationals in Carlisle every single year since the first one. I have talked with guys who have collections in the millions of dollars, and guys with $5000 works in progress. They have presented themselves in basically the same way.

I did the same, never smoked in the house or the vehicles, started at 14. I was a "positive effect" user. A reward after I made a delivery on schedule, or on the courthouse steps after I got a good result. Quit cold turkey for the last time, 20 years ago. Was on a steady run to Kentucky...

One of my former cars is in your neck of the woods. RS23L9A215848. If it hits the market, you should grab it.

I’ve owned seven of them. Chased the current one for 50 years. Sold exactly what you are looking for three years ago. From my experience you can get a nice one reasonably priced, but you need to be patient.

Way back machine here. The gentleman who sold me my ‘62 Imperial in 1992 had what was probably the nicest example in the country. If I recall correctly he paid about $5k. So they have appreciated significantly.

The never titled, never registered, story caught my attention in particular. It wouldn't have been possible in my state, my GTX started out on a similar path. The dealer used it as his personal car for 15 years before he sold it. After three years, the bank made him take it off the floor plan...

66-69 Bendix disc brake calipers. Demand for them is probably non-existent. Never had to deal with them until 2021, but my last two GTXs still had the originals.

He brings it to the survivor tent at the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals every year. It's even more impressive up close, and Harry and his family are really nice folks. Good to see a car with history like this staying in the family.

I lost one of my trucking friends to ALS, a guy I teamed with. Truly tough guy, with no place in his life for denial. Parked the truck three months after diagnosis, went to a wheelchair a week later, colostomy soon after that, and never took the ventilator. He came from an extended farm...

In addition to ridiculous initial cost, clothing depreciates at a horrendous rate. One of the things I liked about driving a truck was that I could wear inexpensive functional stuff, and specialty items not suitable for daily wear were tax deductible. When I was a lawyer, I had to wear fancy...

You know my story with the Demonstrator. There are a few parked Mopars in my area that finally got saved, but just as many that are still sitting.

I’m frugal, and wore stuff like that to save money when I was hauling hazardous waste, nobody cared what I looked like, I was an elite with all my teeth. My wife trashed all those jeans when I retired, said they weren’t fit for donation.

I ran the same stuff in Baby Blue the second time I owned the car, and also used stabil. Holley electric fuel pump as well, installed in the 70s. Car still had the original valves and seats when I sold it with 119,000 miles, engine never apart, no problems with rubber stuff. Car ran Amoco lead...

This is what I did with the GTX I currently own. I offered that number in 2019, and the owner didn't budge. He was not actively looking to sell the car at the time, and I offered him a premium over market, based on the car's condition, and unique history. Three years later, he made the next...
