I would like to thank friend and fellow forum member Fred "6pktgo" for posting about this!
I have been drag racing this 1970 GTX for a long long time.
I bought it in March of 1970 with 8,000 miles on it.
It had been stolen stripped and recovered.
It's been a drag car it's entire life and still has it's original paint, stripes, vinyl top, trim and glass.
According to the 1970 GTX registry it's the first one built in limelight green also!
This is going to be the 10th time to participate in the NHRA Division 3 ET Finals!
I have gone 7 times for "Route 66 Raceway" ( currently closed ), 2 times for "Osceola" ( permanently closed )
and now this year for "Indianapolis Raceway Park" the host track for the finals.
This is my first time back since the 2017 finals.
Fred has mentioned my wife Linda and I couldn't stay in this hobby without her support!
You see "426 Linda" on the passenger door. She was born on April 26th! How's that for a MOPAR wife!
Thanks for all the well wishes and positive comments! It means a lot to me from you fellow forum members and racers!

Bad ***, glad to hear it, John.
Have fun at the NHRA!

Great history John and beautiful car. And Linda is a keeper! Good luck.

Good luck John. The ET Finals are always fun. I've been to the Division V many, many times. Always a challenge, but fun. I did pretty well numerous times, but never quite won. Enjoy.

A big congrats for all the success after so much tinkering. Keep the rear hides hot and gummy and the fronts cool and in the air.

Congratulations Mopar John!
Great car, I have a 70 Roadrunner so I'm biased.
I'm sorry to say I don't know anything about your car...
Would you or another forum member post a link or info on it please!?
Way to REPRESENT!
