welcome...good score! where did you find her?

Thanks! It was advertised on Hemmings and located outside of Pittsburgh. Just close enough for me to drive out from Long Island and back home in the same day!

I think I need a little quiet time after looking at your GTX...Beautiful, you are driving my dream!

Thanks! It was my dream since I was a kid and had the toy model on my dresser. It really was a dream come true for me.

We drove out to look at it and make the deal on a Sunday. We went back the following Sunday with a friend's trailer to bring it back. VERY long days for sure, but I have zero complaints! I've got a bunch of little things to square away, but that's all part of the fun.

Great car beautiful job restoring that baby.

Thanks! I wish I could take credit for the resto, but I bought it like this. I don't have the time or skillz to do a full-on restoration. I typically only have a couple of hours a week of garage time (tops), so I'd be 150 years old before I could finish a car! Luckily, I found this car online and it was all that I could have asked for.

Very Nice "X".....always wanted one myself....I would drive mine rather than sticking it up on a trailer, as I always have with all the mopars Ive owned...coolest thing in the world sitting behind the wheel of a bitchin mopar....still, very nice car...congratulations.

I couldn't agree more. The only trailer this car will see was the one I used to bring it to Long Island from Pittsburgh (and I DID briefly consider driving it). The car is a driver quality build and that's perfect for me. It's no knock on show cars--I appreciate the effort that goes into a show car--but I don't have the self control to not go for a ride and smoke the tires and smile like a fool!!
