Thank you! Looks like you’re from the Detroit area - my hometown. I picked up the car from a dealer in Shelby Township, drove in the Dream Cruise, and shipped home to Oregon. It’s gotta be the car you’re remembering.

Nice. Best place to break it in is out on the Woodward Dream cruise. One of my buddy's has a beautiful 67 GTX as well.

Welcome to FBBO from Ontario. That is a great looking GTX look-alike in a fabulous colour combo. You should really add a front sway bar, and maybe upgrade your brakes, if the car still has 10" drums. Thanks for your pictures. I have a cousin to your car; a 1967 Coronet R/T.

We’re on the same page! Already ordered some reproduction sway bar mounts and already have a set of Willwood front disc brakes on the wish list. :)

Hello friends!,
I'm excited to join the community with my 2nd Mopar, and first B Body. I'm a long-time auto enthusiast (primarily Ford), former performance shop owner. I have a lot to learn about B Bodies and hopefully can offer my mechanical and tuning experience.

At the end of August I picked up a 1967 GTX clone, built from a 1967 Sport Satellite. The build is really close to the real deal - 440 swap, all the right paint and badging inside and out, 150 mph speedo, console tach, and pit stop gas cap. Even the rear leaf springs were matched to 6 on drivers side and 7 on passenger. Only missing pieces are Dana 60 and front sway bar. The car is a 4-speed and delivers all the right feels and sounds. Honestly, if it were a real GTX, my OCD might prevent me from taking it out and enjoying it. Every time I drive the '67, I feel like I'm tagging along with a rock star - people go wild over it!

I've already swapped out the 600 cfm carb for a 750 (Edelbrock Performer) and finding the mechanical tuning to be a really smooth transition from my background in ECU tuning. I'm absolutely loving the mechanical/electrical simplicity and how easy it is to access the engine bay.

I look forward to getting to know the community and sharing my journey!

Another welcome from the Motor City. I love the color of your car, and I’m glad you are enjoying it. I too would say that despite any pedigree a car has, they should be driven and enjoyed. Here is a pic of my old 67 GTX, I owned this car for 25 years, and I routinely beat the crap out of it. Never worried one bit about its monetary value, just what it meant to me. I hope you enjoy yours to the fullest.
