Thanks 64BEL. Hmmm, that’s interesting. Never thought about that. I literally just got it a few weeks ago, but that would be so kool. I don’t have it running yet, so there’s that. Also The show is late Nov. they probably registered show cars months ago. It was totally a barn find tho! You should see the pics with 40+ years of dust on it.

This years MCACN is full, the Barn Finds section was full by last spring.
Do a ground up restoration and it can be a MCACN unveiling in a few years!
If you're from the northern part of the state, you might consider joining the Chicagoland Mopar Connection. Lots of great members there eager to give support and advice.

Great car you have ~ GTX Black.

What are your plans ~ BTW - Welcome to the site.

I’m sorry. I’m just seeing this. The car used to be raced really hard. The goal is to get in running, recam it and change the rear differential and get a fresh paint job and wheels. The interior will remain 100% stock as it is today.

 

[Sly B.]

Yeah, Welcome! There's always room for another "X" in Illinois. Where about in the state are you located?

My bad. I’m just seeing this. Thanks for the welcome. I am in the south suburbs. Homewood-Flossmoor area. Where are you in illinois!

Welcome from Iowa, looks like a real solid project.
Are the floors and bottom side decent ?

Welcome from PA. Nice score, not many that solid in your neck of the woods. I worked in northwest Indiana in the 90s, daily drove a couple rust free desert 60s Imperials that used get a lot of attention, with the lack of rust. I've owned four '69 GTXs, factory black car is about as good as it gets. That car is going to be stunning.

Wow!! Now you’ve had some good Detroit MOPAR Muscle in your days! 4 frigg’n GTX’s and a couple of imperials… can I get an autograph ?? but seriously, dang man that’s impressive!

The place for autographs is the FBBO tent at the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals in July. Hawk and Pistol Pete have brought the club luncheon on Saturday to an amazing level. I drive my GTX to the event every year, just one of many member cars making the trek. The two GTXs on my left are also FBBO members. Look forward to meeting you there.
