    Searching for my fathers 1969 Charger R/T

    I see you live within driving distance of Carlisle. Twenty years ago, I walked the show field at the Chrysler Nationals, trying to find a '69 Dealer Demonstrator GTX I had test driven when the car was new. I had no VIN number, just a photo of the car from back in the day. After talking to all...

    69 Coronet R/T Track Pack Convertible 252511 Lost 440 block

    I have some strange history connecting with stuff because of the Chrysler Nationals in Carlisle. I used to own a numbers matching Hemi GTX that was reunited with its original engine 25 years after it was removed from the car. At the 1997 event, there was a complete Hemi on an engine stand...

    1970 GTX

    No, my car was a bench seat without A/C. I’ve been trying to find the owner for the last decade. The car went off the radar in 1990. It was a Lynch Road build, and last changed hands in Ohio. Thought you might be the one until I saw your vin.

    1970 GTX

    Is this a better picture? Sorry I don't have your build sheet, but I do have original paperwork for the car in the picture, my first GTX, shown on my honeymoon in 1977. I still have the wife.

    Lost! My late Mother's 1968 Dodge Charger HELP

    I can't imagine what the odd were against it. And numbers matching, restored to better than new condition. I know for a fact it wasn't that nice when new, because I was there. I spent 20 years looking for it, then the next 20 negotiating the sale. Point is, this freaky stuff can happen in...

    Lost! My late Mother's 1968 Dodge Charger HELP

    Amazing things can happen when you get the word out. I test drove a new Plymouth GTX over 50 years ago, when I was 16 years old. Decades later I was curious what happened to the car. Started talking to folks at car shows, and twenty years ago, I met the current owner at the Chrysler Nationals...

    1967 Hemi GTX

    The networking opportunities at the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals are pretty amazing. Last week, I met another GTX guy who was looking for parts, and he showed me a picture a friend in the Detroit area had sent him. It was a '69 GTX I bought from the original owner in 1991, and sold seven years...

    1967 Hemi GTX

    Welcome from PA. I've found two from out of my past, Baby Blue, originally purchased in 1983, and the Dealer Demonstrator, the first GTX I ever drove, back in 1970. This forum is an excellent starting point. I found the red one by approaching people at the Chrysler Nationals 20 years ago, who...

    2 1970 Hemi motors found

    Prior owner of my former Hemi GTX swapped two gen 2 Hemi short blocks to get the car’s original engine back. Not everyone is in a position to do such a deal.

    Anybody know how to contact Galen ?

    At the time, I thought it might enhance resale value. Lack of it hasn't appeared to make a difference as the car has moved through the auction circuit.

    Anybody know how to contact Galen ?

    I don’t know if he ripped the check up, but it has never cleared, seven years later. I never stopped it. I had already decoded the tag, I just wanted to get it in his registry. Don’t care what happens now, sold car three years ago.

    Anybody know how to contact Galen ?

    Seems this is the era when things went south. He did a report for the previous owner of my GTX back in the 90s, and it's a "lowly" 440 automatic hardtop. Sent the fender tag tracing on my A33 car in 2016, with a check, and never heard boo.

    LOOKING FOR 68 GTX

    Having owned Baby Blue for as long as I did, I thought I knew the whereabouts of every nice '68 GTX in central PA. This one escaped me, wish I knew where it was, but regret that I don't. Nice car, looks like your dad was a good caretaker.

    I know this is a long shot. But have to ask. Would like to find my old 1969 GTX hardtop

    I have actually recovered two cars from back in the day, one I tried to buy when I graduated from Penn State in 1975, and later in 1983, and the car I bought instead, and then sold in 1991. I had the VIN for the one I bought, but it didn't lead to the recovery. The paper trail I passed on when...

    I know this is a long shot. But have to ask. Would like to find my old 1969 GTX hardtop

    I found the Demonstrator without the VIN. I will ask around at Carlisle this summer. Lightning might strike twice in the same place. The Demonstrator will probably be a conversation starter on factory A/C '69 GTXs.

    $10,000 Cash Finder's Fee Still Available

    One thing that hasn't been mentioned in this post, which just paid off for me, is networking at the Chrysler Nationals. I realize that operationally this doesn't make sense for you personally, living in the west, but I'm thinking of all the guys on this site who gather there every year. We...

    $10,000 Cash Finder's Fee Still Available

    Over the last 30 years, I've owned three red '69 GTXs, one a nearly identical car equipment wise to "the one back then" - (A/C, auto, and options galore,) and a one owner survivor, original except for one repaint. The last one was arguably a more desirable car, it was a numbers matching...

    $10,000 Cash Finder's Fee Still Available

    I went back to this thread as I was pondering whether to sell my Hemi GTX to buy "the one I loved back then" - the '69 Dealer Demonstrator that I've tried to buy for nearly 50 years. The memories a car holds are hard to price, but you have put a number to it. I am incorporating this in my...

    Still Hunting My 1970 GTX RS23U0A205036

    The end of the line for the second generation, original owners probably saw the curtain coming down. Mine was special ordered by a mechanic at Reed Motors, the Plymouth dealer in Bellefonte, PA back in the day (next town over from State College). He sold it to a grad student at Penn State, who...
