Happy birthday, Jerry, and wishing you many more. Thanks again, for all you contribute here.:bday:

Our dealer in State College did a variation on that theme. He kept a Moulin Rouge AAR 'Cuda, a '69 Hemi Road Runner, and a 440 Superbird on the showroom floor, along with one Jeep, and the engine that was later installed in his P51 Mustang. The cars were eventually sold, but not for several...

A few years ago, shortly after I joined this site, there was a thread posted, what would be your ultimate Mopar...in my case it wasn't the rarest or most expensive. It was the one that started the journey when I was 16. When I finally acquired it, the legacy question came into play. Pleasant...

When I downsized to one, many folks ostracized me for selling my Hemi car. Didn't want my wife to have to deal with it down the road, and I made more productive use of the capital tied up in it. The last remaining GTX is destined to go to the original owner's grandson. To paraphrase a slogan...

This was the situation with my '69 GTX. It was one of three Dealer Demonstrator GTXs owned by the selling dealer. He sold the other two while they were still financed by the bank. He kept mine for 15 years, and I always assumed it had never been titled, because it ran dealer plates the entire...

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...
