The Road Runner was the working man's affordable muscle car. The
GTX was the gentleman's upper scale muscle car. They came with at
least a 440 motor, bucket seats with a console, woodgrain trim and
more. This one is an excellent example having great fit and finish.
It runs strong, ready for show and go.
EXTERIOR: The body is straight, no rust or damage. The paint is
exceptional- metal flake is laid out evenly and the clear coat is
polished like glass. Jambs are painted real slick. Weatherstrips
and window seals were replaced. Very classy looking color. Painted
on satin black hood patch. The double white stripes bring attention
to the GTX callout. Bumpers are shiny and straight. Grill looks
like a good original that's been polished. Stainless trim is
straight and polished. The tail panel is excellent, taillights look
new. Vinyl top is excellent. 15 inch Magnum 500 wheels are
sparkling and have new BFG tires that were just installed.
INTERIOR: Overall very nice. Door panels, armrests have been
replaced. The metal trim is smooth gloss black. Dash area is very
nice, nut cut up or broken. Very nice center console with working
lights. The seats have excellent cushions and upholstery. Headliner

ready for show!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
