Nice! Looks like it never saw a New York winter. I've had multiple original GTXs over the years that weren't show cars, and they were the most fun.

beautiful car enjoy, and while it is not a show car to your expectations, maybe you don't want a show car to have fun in. Just from my experience you take all the time and money to build a show car and you are scared to have fun in it because of rock chips and driving it in the rain. So instead of driving the car, it sits in the garage. A real nice survivor like you have is more desirable to me anyway.

I agree with rebelrouser. Although not a show car (your suggestion) I believe it's better than some of these so called restored show poodles. Honest car , driver that you can enjoy for the original purpose. I would be proud and pleased to show it off. Nice car . Congratulations.

Thanks!
My '64 Nova is my "Shiny" Car. I'm always concerned about stone chips, door dings, and of course, accidents. The GTX is much more fun to drive!

Baby Blue, my former '68 GTX, got a show quality paint job in 1985, and a previous owner had replaced all the trim with NOS parts. I was scared to drive the car with the fresh paint. I sold it in 1991, and replaced it was a red '69 GTX that had moderately pitted original chrome, and a 15 year old repaint with plenty of stone chips. Car was stock, rust free, one owner, heavily optioned, in perfect mechanical condition. I drove it everywhere for the seven years I owned it. Always regretted selling it, at the time I didn't have a choice. It's still running around Detroit with the same paint.
Fast forward to 2013, and I got Baby Blue back. Same paint from 1985, now cracked, with plenty of stone chips and scratches. Drove the car on a regular basis, with no worries, multiples trips to the Chrysler Nationals in Carlisle, never trailered, never had a mechanical problem, always had fun. Baby Blue's current owner painted the car again, but he still intends to drive it.
Nice car! Original paint?

If you take it to a car show then it is a show car.

That’s an awesome car! I’m having to clone mine. It’s better to be a driver than a trailer queen!

I have 67 Coronet 440 2drhtp with 69440. same color red and always stored inside. It has 3.23 489 rear and warmed over with high stall converter etc. It drives beautifull but almost too fast. posi so it goes sideways when floored. The kids love it because it burns rubber at the stoplight without moving. I will be 80 this yr so I need too slow down. has Holey sniper fuel injection so all the carb issues are gone. cold starts instantly after months in garage. 13mpg and very fast.....

That's just cool. Show cars are really fun to look at but hard to drive because one always worries about what is getting dinged, scratched, chipped, etc. I am partial to driving them, too!

I had a 66 Satellite, same colour but with the 383. Bought it 2 years old in Edmonton Alberta. Original buyers invoice shows it cost $4004 Canadian and he got credit for a 65 Valiant trade-in of $2164. It was our family car for 20 years. At 170,000 miles my son and I re- did the body & motor and he drove it to high school. We also redid a 70 Charger and a 70GTX in the late 80s then sold both for way way too little.
