Baby Blue's original owner sold her for $600. Picture from the 80s shows her shortly after a $2000 repaint on original sheet metal, and addition of magnum 500s for $375.
I ran studded snow tires on the first GTX. I'd spend hours at the car wash flushing the PA winter road crud out, and then finish up with a hair dryer with an extension cord in my driveway, no garage in those days.
Nothing wrong with stoned or drunk. I spent a lot of time back in the 70's doing both and chasing women. Good times I wish I could do again.
Yep. The meaning of life !
Yep sad era - back then I had my '70 Cuda BB/4spd vert and trouble getting gas living in da country. I worked at a machine shop a couple miles from home. My dad worked in the city and he'd take my car once a week to get it filled as few stations were close to home and they were often out of gas. I'd drive by dealers seeing all those old muscle cars sitting on the lots for sale. I would go in when seeing a neat ride to test drive. Must have done this a dozen times...sales guys would say "Oh you wanna look at THAT car...lemme get the keys for ya". Of course, they prayed they could dump them. Drove a Hemi RR, couple BB Challengers, two Shelby Stangs cuz I liked those, etc. Anyway, as it worked out, I bought a demo '73 Challenger 340 with 2k on it. They gave me (I'm welling up again now recalling the transaction) 600 bucks for my Cuda in trade. Yeah, I'm one of many geezers who have similar memories. If anyone has a working Flux Capacitor I'd like to dial that in to '74/75 with a few grand in my pocket...
You're making me well up again...
Note the trailer hitch on this '69 GTX, a Y13 dealer demonstrator, the most heavily optioned '69 GTX built (only available factory option not selected on A/C car was vinyl top, but numerous others installed at the dealership). Our local Plymouth dealer drove it as his personal car for 15 years, the first five as a daily driver, with snow tires in winter. He had been a fighter pilot in WWII, and used the car to tow his glider, when he wasn't flying his vintage P51 Mustang. The car survives today, in fully restored condition, with all NOS parts.
Yes and the "Nissans" ...... I remember test driving a little honda ( back then) with my EX wife.. I still don't see what the draw was or is... A real turd I thought
Go through the drive thru's, order a medium coke. drink some of it, then get out the bottle of 151 from under the seat.....
The downfall of man... Amazing how dogs and NOT women have been named " Mans best friend".......
