Back in late April of last year, we traded away our concours restored 70 El Camino SS 396 that was fully loaded, triple black, for a 1969 GTX convertible. The GTX has all of its original sheet metal, numbers matching drive train, all factory original gaskets, glass, convertible top, etc. The car is practically in survivor condition with the exception of one exterior repaint and the carpeting and seat covers replaced due to fading when we got it. While doing some research on the car, we found that a total of 701 - 1969 Plymouth GTX Convertibles were made. This was also the last year for the GTX convertible as the Roadrunner was outselling the GTX by a margin of 4:1 since the GTX was the top of the line and the Roadrunner was considerably cheaper. Of these 701 cars produced, 362 came with the 440 V-8 and Automatic trans. Out of the 701, there are 47 left known in existence as of 2/14/2002. Our goal is to bring the vehicle back to factory fresh conditions with retaining as much of the factory assembly aspects and appearance as possible. Essentially, almost an OE type of resto but the car has base/clear paint job on it (done prior to us getting it) Here are some of the photos of when we got the car.
