QUESTION Current Location Of The Purple 1971 Hemi GTX 4 Speed Car That I Used To Own?

[hemi71x]

Would anyone out there in the Mopar world, know where the Purple, 1971 Hemi GTX 4 Speed car, in now located, and possibly who the owner is?
It's had three different owners since i sold it off back in 2010.
I kept it for 33 years before i sold it.
That's another long story, for another time.
I sold it to a big league collector in Southern California, that had it in his collection for ten years or more.
Then he sold it to someone that i think is named Flanagan, or Finnegan, in what i think was Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, one of the (I) states?
I knew it was put up for auction at one of big national auction houses a few years back, that i thought that it didn't sell at the reserve price, of $350,000 thousand dollars.
I just got a phone call from the guy that i purchased the car from, back in 1977, years ago, saying it has sold at $250,000 thousand dollars.
If that's true, someone new to me, is the current owner.
I would like to know more about that car, since i owned it.
Anyone out there know where it's at?
It's like it fell off the face of the Earth.
You can write me a pm if you wish, and not make it public.
Thank's a lot. Appreciate any information.

Dang that’s a pretty rare GTX, only 11 of them were made with the four speed and 426 Hemi.

Beautiful car. If you have the vin that will help.

Have you researched the big auction sites to see if you can find the sale?

When the former owner of my old car found out it was at a national auction, he contacted the auction firm, if he could make contact with that owner, giving him information about the car when he was the owner.
Auction house declined to release any information, stating privacy laws.
So in turn, I'm not going to have any success either, in that regard.

Ya, it was a daily driver, during my ownership with it.
I'm well known, still to this day, with me driving it everywhere, during my ownership.

Boy, if you thought that i drove that old Hemi GTX of mine everywhere.
In making contact with the guy that i purchased it from, he told me he drove it "Off Road" so to speak, numerous times.
He got stuck, deep in beach sand somewhere, driving it onto some oceans beach.
Took it on dirt roads up in Pikes Peak, here in the USA.
That GTX has seen a lot, other than some of the owners never driving them, other than keeping them in their collection.

We always thought of them as cars... Some folks see them as trophies...

F that.

Mine aint no trophy or even a garage queen. Ask anyone around my area and they will tell you . Its gets driven. A LOT

I dont care what it is, or what its worth. If I cant drive it, I have no use for it.
These were taken in northern AZ the 1st year I owned it.

Last photo was last year at the Spring Fling cruise down the Pacific Coast Hwy

I recall in the early 90s before I had even met you, I saw it in the parking lot of U-pull-it on Stockton blvd. I was thinking who drives a purple hemi X to go junk yarding??!
Travis..

That guy still doesn't know the colour is called "In-Violet" ....must be a Chevy guy.

Tell your friend in the know not to let the owner paint the firewall black.

Just an FYI pretty sure a few months back there was some sort of "Barn find" out of like a Queens or Bronx garage that sort of fit that description from my recollection
