Hi all, the time has come to let my GTX go. If I could get opinions on the value, that'd be great.
The car is in the UK but please evaluate it as if it was in the US since I can ship it.

Here's how I'm planning the AD with all the info, and some pictures.
The only thing that's not original is the Air Grabber hood and the 6 pack.

History of the numbers matching block by Dave Billadeau:

“GTX came into the uk in 88 via George Chiles and it ran 12.80s.

George then put the 440 in his 72 cuda.
Howard Holmes bought the Cuda.
Jon Turner bought the cuda(Green fish), raced it with various engines, before selling the #s 440 to Jon Connolly, who sold it to Pete Wiseman.
I bought the 440 for my 70 air grabber road runner project car.
I noticed it was a 69 casting, so a nice date coded block for the 70 road runner.
And for fun I checked the VINs on both the GTX and runner, the 440 is the original for the GTX, never been blown up, despite being raced for years.
It was still standard bore(it’s now at .030”).
That’s why I retired the GTX from racing and put the numbers match engine back in.

Unbelievable but true.” "





Thank you.

I'm not even going to try and value you that ....UK market is not like USA or even our market here in New Zealand.

The best advice I can offer right now is to advertise over in the Scandinavian and European car publications - they have a great appreciation for quality cars, and the shipping prices being lower would help your sale. Be aware they are very **** when it comes to documentation and authentic options or parts.
 
Curious about two things...
1. Do you have al the A/C parts, or was the dash swapped out? Has A/C vents in the centre, but no firewall markings for pipes etc.
2. What's up with those holes in the top of the front seats?

I'll look into that. Many cars from the UK are going back to the US, it's very easy and cheap to ship it around nowadays.

H51, single air.

Holes are reminiscent from it's racing days - seat belts.
