'71 gtx

[ragdol]

Another new guy. I've been a MoPar guy most of my life, but did stray a bit from time to time. I've had MoPars from the '30s, '40s '50s '60s, & now I have one from the '70s. My brother bought it new. It's always been a Tenn. car. He decided he no longer wanted it, & gave it to me. It's an 89,000 mile '71 GTX, 440 4bbl automatic car. I just got it hauled up to Wisc. today, so I can't tell you much more about it. About myself, I'm 71 yrs. old going to my shop every day to build custom cars, so the resto will be a stretch for me. I do have the advantage of knowing John Grinwald for tech advice during this process. Actually the car will be on the back burner until I get my '37 Ply. coupe hot rod done. It's got a '55 Dodge hemi, 727, 8-3/4" posi, & will be a resto rod. Today I worked on making the bed for a '36 Dodge P/U drag truck for a friend. It's got a 383, 727, 9". He hopes to run in the 10s. That's my story & I'm sticking to it. Larry

welcome to FBBO
you sound like a true gearhead, like many of us on here

good luck with the 71 GTX, love that body style almost as much as the 68's

Thanks for the welcome. Like I said, I'm not messing with the GTX right now. I do have a couple pics my brother took as the car was being loaded in Tenn. I don't see how to load pics. Maybe someone can give me some instructions?
