Factory 426 Hemi with only 32k original miles. We believe this car
has had 4 owners since new. Purchased from the original owner in
the late 1980's by Reggie Jackson when it had around 18,000 miles.
Reggie had the car resprayed by George Thomas (Mariposa Body) in
the original color of Turbine bronze over a very clean body in the
early 1990's. The car was then sold to Gil Garcia who kept the car
until being acquired by the current owner about 12 years ago.
The paint has held up very well with only a few little nicks from
use and the chrome and trim still look great. All glass is nice.
Interior is original with the exception of the carpet. Original
seat foam was replaced with a foam kit from Legendary Auto
Interiors and then the original factory vinyl seat covers were
reinstalled. Auxiliary gauges were installed to keep tabs on the
Hemi. Dealer installed AM/FM radio works. Factory tachometer and
dash gauges still work. Interior is in very nice presentable
condition.
Instead of freshening up the original engine, the current owner
decided to go with a 472 ci short block built by Dave Timmons from
Mopar Engines West in Fremont, Ca. The upper end (heads, intake,
etc.) are the original components. The carburetors are correct
numbered 1967 units. MSD distributor with hidden box. TTI headers
and custom TCI dual exhaust. The engine runs and sounds incredible
and runs very well on pump gas. The engine currently has under
2,000 miles on it. The original 727 Torqueflite was replaced with a
TCI Super Streetfighter Torqueflite good to 750hp. The transmission
has approx. 100 miles on it. The original radiator was recently
redone. Included with the purchase is the original engine
shortblock, distributor, exhaust manifolds and transmission.
The suspension is stock and has recently had the upper and lower
control arms bushings replaced and the ride enhanced with Edelbrock
IAS shocks. The rear is the original 8.75" Sure grip unit with
3.23:1 gears. Original front calipers have recently been rebuilt.
Running 14x6 Magnum 500 road wheels as originally equipped with
Redline radial tires.
This GTX has been built to be a great driver. Original parts have
been set aside to preserve them. Drives incredible. Runs and sounds
awesome. Torque on demand. Excellent investment that can actually
be driven.
