For Sale is the 68 Plymouth GTX I've owned for approximately 12 years. Some history: Fourteen years ago I was restoring my 67 Barracuda Convertible. During that time I purchased a couple of parts cars to acquire some of the parts I needed. A friend said in the race shop he rented for his Formula car there was a Barracuda Conv in the corner that he thought the owner wanted to sell. I went to look. Sure enough, it was a 69 Barracuda Conv with a 360 and tri power on it. Next to it was a car covered with a tarp. It was a 68 GTX. It had a fiberglass hood with a huge scoop and "Hemi" lettering everywhere. I checked the vin and to my surprise realized this was a real "Hemi" car. Not a clone.
I called the owner. Finally, after days of negotiation I purchased both cars. The previous owner bought the GTX in the early 70's (from a friend of mine no less). He was drag racing it. In 77 he cut out the trunk floor and part of the rear seat floor to tub it. He also tack welded in a 4 link setup but thankfully did not touch the frame rails or the Dana. Yes, it's a 4 speed car. It has also spent nearly it's whole life in Georgia. Salt and nearly entirely rust free. That is where the project stopped and it hasn't changed since.
It left the factory Triple Black, Bucket Seat, Console, etc. Due to a multitude of things I am putting it up for sale. I hate to but age, health, upcoming college, and family needs.............well you understand. I have a local offer of $30k I am looking for something North of that. Nothing super crazy. It's 95 to 98 percent compete. Please contact me if SERIOUSLY interested. Thank you, Frank
