Myrtle's #'s Matching STP 1970 GTX

Myrtle · Aug 14, 2016

Picked up this amazing gem last summer, and the restoration has just begun. Though she deserves a full frame off restoration, I just don't have the money for that. It is being done right though.

Car is VERY solid with minimal rust.

Spec are in my sig. I am hoping to make it up to Canada in the next year or so to meet the original owner.

Hope you all enjoy.

Original door panels in great shape

Floor was very solid

Rear seats were in great shape (I think they may have been replace long ago)

Love these!! They are staying.

Original headliner was in great shape as well

The only tear

Myrtle what a find ! I thought I didnt like green until I picked up a #'s matching F8 70 Coronet 500 this summer, I love those front buckets too, think these are modded seats ? Cool !! Great car and seems to me you're treating her well

! Congratulations, it'll be fun to watch your progress !

Looking good!

Anyone else have this problem?

Bought another project before I even finished the first one and am losing interest in the first one?

Erringly similar to my 70 GTX (now I regret not going with the white stripe when it was in paint and body) These two car will look so cool next to each other.

GG1, white stripe. #s Matching engine and 4 speed, 96K original miles. 1 owner car. Fully documented. This car is a great survivor and 95% rust free. Super solid New Mexico car. Really torn on what to do with the rear qtrs. Leave them as is or patch? Trunk floor looks really good too. Really impressed with this car.

Patina looks great and the test section I waxed came out amazing for 50 year old paint.

Did the first GTX come out of northern BC?

Myrtle · Mar 1, 2020

Southern BC. You familiar with it?

Baller · Mar 2, 2020

Looks like one that some guys from Surrey pulled out of a barn in northern BC and immediately put on craigslist. Had a bad dent on the front fender and mismatched wheels, though it had a grill. Was 4 speed car as well. They were asking $25000 Canadian for it. I had called but never went to see it. Can't remember where exactly they found it.
