'68 one owner GTX

[440+6]

Very nice, that's a real sharp car!
I remember when people where pin striping and etching the side glass, cool stuff.

Been putting a few miles on it of late.



Had to go with the ugly blackwalls. Couldn't find 3/8" whitewall 235-70 tires and Diamondback (Rusty, Richard or James) wouldn't answer their e-mails or get me out of the endless loop of "your call is important to us" when I tried to phone them.

Welcome. Very cool car and story. Looks great. You may want to try Coker for the tires you're after. They're not radials (in my opinion, that's a good thing), but they'll have the whitewalls you're looking for. I too am the original owner of my '69 Road Runner. Grandfather put it in my name when he purchased it. I was born in '68 and was his first grandson. Rode in that car with Pop everywhere. It has over 250,000 original miles on it. It's been completely redone, and somewhat changed (now a 440 + 6), but still gets the same love it did for the last 46 years. Here's a photo of me racing at Maple Grove back in the day. Good luck with your GTX. It's gorgeous! TD

Great story and beautiful GTX. Love the color combination and steel wheels. Your street rod is very nice also. I remember seeing your rod and talking to you at the Atlantic Nationals in Moncton N.B. a few years back. Glad to see you still have it. Bobby

Neither Coker nor Diamondback have a 3/8" whitewall on a 325-70-15. Only 225-70-15 ad that's too small

One owner 68 GTX - you have my admiration. Would love to see that baby in person.

A normal Sunday's activities in '68 and '69.

The white Camaro belonged to my (late) kid brother.
