The twin to Baby Blue, owned by my late friend Dave Miller from 1969 until his passing in 2014 has been on the market for a few months, and the selling dealer has dropped the price significantly. I tried to buy this car from Dave back in 1979, and when he kept it, I bought Baby Blue. Dave's is...

These are take offs from my '69 GTX. They have about 1000 miles on them and are in excellent condition. My car is an early build that had '68 style chrome rims installed when new, reason for selling these. Will be at Carlisle, space CA216-219. Asking $550.

Back in the 1970s, when I was an aspiring writer, I was taught that truth was often stranger than fiction, and could be less believable. The art of creating great fiction requires a blending of historically and technically correct items, with an imaginative spin to create an attention getting...

I am looking for an assembly line original exhaust tip for my '69 GTX. The newer versions have different contours than the originals. The flared tip on the original measures 3", on the newer part it is 3-1/2". The inlet on the original measures 2-1/4" long, on the newer piece it is 2-1/2"...

My former '69 GTX hit the market again, after not selling at auction last month (bid to 81k, reserve not met.) Volo museum put it on eBay. Looks like current owner may be serious about selling, rather than testing the market. I used to visit Volo when I lived in the Chicago area. This car is...

For any of you who are considering purchasing a '69 GTX, or watching the market, my former numbers matching A33 car is going across the block at the GAA auction in Greensboro, NC on Friday, Feb 23. The car last sold for 68k

When my '69 GTX was restored, the previous owner replaced the grille, headlight bezels, wheel well moldings, tail light bezels, and tail finish panel with NOS, and restored OEM pieces. The pieces that were removed were NOS, installed in the early 1980s. They have 6000 miles on them, and are...

Thanks to all of you who provided input when I had the opportunity to realize this dream from 52 years ago. For those of you who haven't seen the story, I test drove a new '69 GTX the week before my 17th birthday. It was the heavily optioned family car of Bill and Julie Clark, who owned the...

I bought this car last year from a fellow FBBO member, thinking it would be the last GTX I would ever own. It was restored, and owned for 31 years, by a Hemi expert in northern Virginia, who finally parted with it in his mid eighties. He rebuilt the original numbers matching engine to stock...

In the fall of 1968, the owner of our local dealership ordered a '69 dealer demonstrator 440 GTX, which would serve as his personal vehicle for the next 15 years before finally being sold to a customer. It was also unique in having every available factory option, with the exception of a vinyl...

This GTX was my first, which I sold 40 years ago for law school tuition. Marty Potts, of Edgarton, Ohio (Toledo area) was the buyer. He sold it about a decade later, and I've seen no sign of it since. It's currently in the 1970 GTX registry under my name. Rare options of hounds tooth bench...

Yesterday, I crossed another bridge in my Mopar journey, and sold Baby Blue for the second time in 30 years. For those of you who aren't familiar with what is now my former '68 GTX, she was my second of six, purchased from her second owner in 1983, and sold 8 years later. In 2013, she came...

My wife Diane, with the one that started it all, on our honeymoon in 1977. We drove it to Myrtle Beach, SC from PA, and got almost 20 mpg, taking it easy with 3.23 gears. The car is long gone, but we've been married 44 years this October

My actual experience in the GTX market has once again confirmed my theory that there are two separate markets for these cars - hobbyist to hobbyist (with relatively lower pricing), and the full force marketing arena, exemplified by the auction companies, and high end dealers. A few months ago...

After over 50 years of speculation, I have finally had the incredible fortune to have one of each, the old 440 car I drove back in the day, and the one I always dreamed of, the Hemi that was always just out of my reach. I can't say that either is better, but as many of you pointed out in my...

Looking for a set of NOS exhaust tips for my '68 Hemi GTX. Must be the original style, with longer barrel and shorter tip, not the later series with long tip. Excellent used also considered. Will be at Carlisle Chrysler Nationals all three days.

For those of you who were around when our cars were new, was there one specific example that really set your heart aflame? Were you fortunate enough to own it, either then, or later? This is the dealer demonstrator I test drove new when I was 16. Have tried to buy it ever since...

I've owned 440 GTXs since the 1970s, but never a hemi car. I read the original Car Life comparison back in the day, and am well versed in the functional differences. However, there is no question regarding the mystique surrounding those big valve covers. Question to those of you who have...
