My wife has an issue with me driving longer distances, in an effort to avoid intersections, if at all possible. We are both retired, and time is no longer an issue. After years of dealing with collisions as a trucking company general counsel, I will do whatever it takes to avoid the issue in...

Happened to me twice in the truck. Neither clown had insurance.

Baby Blue spent 15 years in the DC suburbs. I had a guy at a car show ask me how did a car from that area survive? The answer was with a new passenger door and quarter panel, new trunk lid, new trunk finish panel, and new grille. Timing was great, as the original parts had just started to...

I still have the February '68 issue of Car Life, comparing it to a 440 hardtop. Piece did a good job of contrasting the traits of the two engines.

Welcome from PA. They were made to be driven. Mine has a pedigree, but gets driven to the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals every year. Even with those miles, I probably spend more time telling the back story than driving. As Ed pointed out, that's where we fit in as temporary caretakers of these...

Shocked and saddened to hear this. I was the member who travelled with Chris to Sarasota when he bought the Road Runner, and advised him to sell it back to a previous owner when the opportunity arose. How many guys can say they owned a numbers matching survivor '69 Road Runner, a real '66 Hemi...

Welcome from State College. I've got you beat - I've sold three 1969 GTXs in my life, but the current one is a keeper!

My late buddy Dave did the same with his GTX back in the day, removed the factory side stripes, and added pin stripes, otherwise stock original. He had the car repainted in 1984, when he retired it from daily driving, and returned all details to factory original.

Could the taped holes have been a thing limited to early '68 models? My cars with operational instrument panel indicators, as well as fender mounted signals, were all built after April '68.

All my GTXs with fender mounted turn signals had operational indicators in the instrument panel as well.

Professionally speaking, you have done a sterling job. thanks for sharing.

I have a trust to deal with this issue. Well worth the fees for a good attorney.

Much like some Mopar parts, the ads are often worth more than the actual magazine. I bought a few 1960s National Geographics for 25 cents each, for the Imperial ads, back when I owned the cars in the 90s. I had a subscription to Playboy in the 80s, and those are going to a younger friend, he...

My attorney agrees. Her high priced advice is to dump as much "stuff" as you can while still alive. Most of her clients don't, and their estates pay relatively high costs to her firm to help clean up the mess.

I'm a little ahead of you, and started the process as part of my retirement plan, sold off the two '68 GTXs, one word of mouth, one through this site. Came out in good shape financially, wouldn't have gone as well if an heir was trying to liquidate them. My daughter was interested in Baby Blue...

I sold my last GTX through this forum, and couldn't have been happier with the result. It was great seeing it in action on a thread here last week.

My dad ordered it on his 1970 Valiant, along with dog dish hub caps. Our tastes in Mopars differed, to say the least.

Same as above, but also many great ads for the GTX and Charger R/T. December '68 issue had my favorite GTX ad of all, "suggested for mature audiences." An uncle gave it to me the day after I drove the Demonstrator. I now fit the demographic. Cynthia Myers made history that issue as the first...

Love for love, or love for money, an age old choice. I love GTXs, a pure path to financial loss.

Most people don’t want to hear the real numbers behind really nice cars. Blood sweat and tears, billed at $0 per hour, or a check book restoration at $150K. The problem for most retail buyers, is the really good cars don’t cross their paths. They pass to family or friends. If one of these...
