Hi,
I live in central Texas and I recently got my '67 Plymouth GTX home.
I've been poking around the board here for several weeks researching and gathering information about the car and what needs to be done. I haven't been around Mopars much and there's a lot for me to learn. I have had Chevys for most of my life.
This GTX is special, though.
It was my first car.
Not a car of the same year or model, but, the actual car itself.
I was in my teens when I first bought it wayyyyyy back then.
As time passed, I got married and started a family.
Around '74 -'75, I sold the car to my younger brother and he has had it for all these years.
It's back with me once again and is still in fairly decent shape. It looks a little rough and there is some rust in the usual places but, the floor pans and trunk don't have any rust and are amazingly solid. It needs some TLC and paint but, it's still a strong running and awesome car. I'll be bringing it back to it's former condition and I hope to enjoy it for a very long time.
First question I have is:
Does anyone here possibly know about how many Silver '67 GTX's were produced?
I read a thread where someone said that there aren't that many Silver GTX's around. I've also been told that the fender tag indicates that this car was a special order car. It also has some options that weren't normally included as stock.
I wouldn't want to change the paint color if it's important to keep it as it is. So far, it seems to have been kept mostly original. The only things I know of that aren't original to the car are the heads. I don't know when or why they were swapped out but, according to the castings they aren't even a matching set, each one has a different number.
Thanks
