Don't know where to start so here goes. In May of 1969 my only uncle and his dad went to the local Plymouth dealer, there the salesman pulled out a green GTX and a red Cuda with a hemi. My uncle said I like green I'll take the GTX. For just over $3300 he bought the car. The car, like my uncle spent their whole lives on a farm, tearing up gravel roads, always at church on Sundays but Never on a date. My siblings and I made alot of memories with Uncle Lennis and his car growing up. Long story short my wife and I were fortunate enough to purchase his car at his estate auction this month. Words can't express how proud we are to own this car! It is all original except for the Dana rear axle that was swapped out when it was about a month old to make it go faster. Biuld sheet, copy of window sticker, original 10 day temporary tag, shop reciepts from '69, clear factory floor mats, original red stripe spare tire, green top that is flawless, even the tag that explained how to start it, etc... We plan on keeping it just like it is. It has 77k miles on it. What do we need to do to preserve it? How do we treat the top? I read something about adding zinc to 440's to save the cam? What about the original paint = buff, wax? Sorry for the sermon but this car is as original as they get and we don't want to damage it. Any and all information appreciated. Thanks Dave P.S. 440, auto, air grabber hood,
aboard!
