Baby Blue's original went 90,000 miles. The OEM replacement failed 40 years later. Replaced it with one of Dan's, and it worked well. Not hard to live without the lane change feature.

Two years ago, I sold Baby Blue and my Hemi GTX, and bought the car I’d chased from age 16. I’m happier with just one.

Living two hours from Carlisle, makes my decision easier. I started giving away stuff I know I’ll never use, to folks I know need it now. No shipping hassle.

I had five decades of oil history with Baby Blue, the '68 GTX I owned from 1983-91, and 2013-21. The car ran Castrol GTX 20W-50 from new until I sold it in 1991. Oil changes every 2500 miles, than annually after I bought it, averaging about 700 miles a year. The guy I sold it to was a...

See you there! Parking lot in the evening is an encore to the show field.

My '69 GTX has a unique history, being ordered as a dealer's personal car. He kept it 15 years, not taken off the floor plan until 1972, and then titled with the dealership as legal owner of record. So it ran on dealer plates for 15 years. I have all the documents you described, kept in his...

This was my plan if I couldn't get the local shop to do it. I was out the door for $800, and the shop pulled and reinstalled the radiator. I got lucky.

I just had the original 26" in my GTX re-cored by a local shop, and it works great. Might be worth the shipping charge, no question the original stuff is effective when in proper shape.

Tony is a bit younger than me, but I think his motivation is similar. I won't say the market is going to crash tomorrow, but the demographics are not working in its favor. I feel good having the car I always wanted, but with half the money I had invested before I trimmed my stable.

Baby Blue had the same stamp, but it was vertical. Low option car, lots of room to place it.

Assuming the Z you are referring to is on the bottom left corner of your picture?

With no documentation, I'm going to speculate that it's an inspector's stamp. My Lynch Road '69 GTX has the identical stamp in a different location, next to the 26 for radiator size. It's not quite centered either.

"Correct" 68-70 GTX/RR exhaust tips. There are a ton of reproductions, but they differ from originals in several areas. The originals have a mounting hanger that extends through the top of the cylinder, rather than being welded to the top. The originals have a tip length of 3-1/4"...

I'm guessing they were concerned about selling it if the buyer backed out when it was delivered. My GTX has the same combination as your car, but ordered by the dealer for his personal use. Forty years later, I discussed color selection with his son, when I bought a new Chrysler 300. I wanted...

Addressing the muscle B bodies specifically, the local dealership in State College used to order a significant number of cars built to the dealer's specifications, as well as sales bank cars (built by Chrysler without a customer or dealer order.) Most unique car to come out of the sales bank...

My local lock smith did a great job on NOS blanks ten years ago when I got Baby Blue back. Went back last year with blanks for the Hemi car, and they refused to cut a blank that wasn't their own stock. Got it done at a True Value hardware store instead.

My former '69 GTX, St. Louis, July '69, had chrome as well.

The bare bones '67 Valiant my dad bought new had chrome. Did Chrysler implement the black buttons as a cost cutting measure, and then switch back?

Baby Blue had 0-15, Dec. 67 Build.Lynch Road.

I may be reaching here, but I remember that Baby Blue (my unrestored '68) had the black bottons originally, as does my current '69, which was an early build car. My first '69 was an April build, and had chrome buttons. My survivor 1970 had chrome as well. Perhaps the buttons were changed...
