The seller told me that he owned the car for almost three years, but hadn't put
much more than six or seven hundred miles on it in that time. Test drive! Although the owner explained that I could "get on it a little", it appeared that he probably hadn't done much of this himself, as he was stiff and motionless throughout the ride, and had an unmistakeable look of terror on his pale-white face. This car is a rocket ship! After a little bit of haggling, and a LOT of hundred dollar bills, I was on my way home with my new GTX. 
I did some extensive research on the '70 GTX and without going through all the
details, the original base sticker price was revealed - $4180!! And to think,
31 years later I only paid $10,000 more than that...The GTX needed some mechanical attention to be a true "Daily Driver". Into the garage to replace the headers with the original manifolds, rebuild the carb, new fuel tank and lines, fuel pump, complete brake job, valve job and some miscellaneous electrical repairs. The punch line? The repair bill was $4180. Now I am Daily Driving the GTX, and scaring the neighborhood!  Send us your information! |
