1969 Plymouth GTX By George Lisenko |
|
This is my Mopar:
I got discharged from the Marines and after I returned from Vietnam in 1969 I bought my first Muscle Car and it was a 1969 Plymouth 440 GTX. After all these years I came accross a GTX that I just couldn't resist buying. I bought my 1969 GTX from the original owner who lives a mile or two from my house. This car was built in the Los Angeles, California and has never left the state of California. I restored it ground up in 3 months, this is an all numbers matching (3 years ago). Engine was built by Santa Ana Speed. I have added over sized pistons, competition cam, valves , MSD ignition, etc. I also added edlebrock heads and intake to accomodate my new six pack. I have also added exaust, two chamber flowmasters and electric cut outs which in my opinion every muscle car owner should invest in. This car puts out over 500 horse power at the rear wheels. This car rumbles as it goes down the street it sets off every car alarm on the block. The car was freshly repainted to its original color as well as a new top. Car had original 40,000 miles now has 46,000. I paid $20,000 for the car and invested $30,000 to restore it. Total of $50,000.00. I have won numerous trophies for Best of Show, Best Muscle Car as well as Best Engine. This car in plain English hauls ass and if you want to replace the tires you can simply burn these off.
