All the cool projects that have been posted has motivated me to get started on this 68 GTX. It hasn't turned a wheel under it's own power since 1979! The original engine and transmission was gone then already, but Jim put in a 440 and a four speed from a 71' back in 1992. he never started it, and became terminal in 2004, then passed away. His brother Inherited it, and now he is terminal. We had been friends since 1979, and he knew I would finish it. So, here it is. I am debating leaving it a four speed, as so much work was done to convert it, and it clearly was an Automatic car. 70,000 actual miles on the body, so it is super solid. Even the front end is still tight. I remember Jim trading an alternator and radiator from a roadrunner for this car! it was a crazy time back then. I've done several 67's, but this is the first post 67 B body I have owned,so it should be fun. Manual steering, manual brakes, AM radio, Buckets white interior, that is it on this car. I intend to paint it the midnight forest green color,almost black at night. other than that, bone stock is all I want. I hope everybody enjoyed the pictures!
