I got the 3.55 geared, limited slip in finally. Quite an upgrade from the highway gears it had previously! Installing some interior pieces, and upgrading the exhaust, are next.

I haven't posted for awhile, so here's some updated pics with my new wheels and bumpers installed. I haven't had time to do anything over the winter, but I have a limited slip and interior pieces to install, when I get some time. On a different note, a buddy is buying a 1969 GTX, that has a 440...

I had a friend talk me into taking my car to the big (600 cars) yearly show and enter it in the "under construction" class. I didn't win, but was motivated to get more stuff done on it!

Over the last few days, I've been masking, painting and polishing trim. After 55 years, she's picked up a few scratches and scars. Thankfully, the body was pretty decent, and didn't take too much to get it back in shape. I kept a momento from the previous body and paint work... No wonder the...

I hadn't posted any pics of my car, and decided now was the time. I bought the car thru a friend in Missouri, in 1983. I traded the car to my friend's brother, straight up, for his 1965 Impala SS convertible. I missed the GTX so bad, that I threw some cash together, and bought it back! I got...

I drove 2 hours to see it, and seemed to be what he claimed. Can someone on the site with a lot more knowledge than I, give me a breakdown on the casting numbers? Oh yeah, I did go ahead and buy it.

Ironically, I just found a newly listed 489 that has new 3.55 Yukon gears and sure grip. He said he built it for a car he just sold, and never got it installed. he wants $500.

I believe it has to do with engine size (and maybe how heavy the car is). Mine has a 440, and that's why I'm pretty sure it received the heavier duty 742.

Unfortunately, Spokane is 8-9 hours away. I didn't expect to have this much trouble finding a 742, and when I have, they've been back east and most won't ship.

I have a "489" case with an open 2.70 ratio installed in my 1967 GTX. The original setup was likely a "742" with 3.23 gears and a sure grip. Should I just install the 3.23s and sure grip in my existing case, or should I continue to look for a "correct' case to keep the car more original? It's...

Nice car. I've been to Switzerland a couple of times and have never seen an American muscle car, so I'm sure it attracts a lot of attention with the locals. Can you get license plates that can fit the bumper, or do you have to use a special mounting bracket?

The original photo I posted was taken a little over 15 years ago. I bought the car from a friend in Missouri. It now resides in Idaho. The 2 stage clear started peeling really bad, so it's currently being prepared for a repaint. The cutouts in the hood were done by the previous owner "to allow...

I've owned my 1967 GTX for 40 years. I am finally in a position to clean it up and get it running.
