INTRODUCTION: Rare is an understatement! Only 700 GTX convertibles
were produced in 1969, and this is one of just 53 equipped with
factory air conditioning. Featured in Muscle Car Review magazine
and claimed to have received a rotisserie restoration, this GTX
checks all the boxes. Beautifully restored, highly optioned, and
incredibly rare, this is one Mopar that stands out from the
crowd.
EXTERIOR: This here is a good looking machine! The body panels are
absolutely straight and fit beautifully, with no signs of rust or
damage showing. It's been repainted in gorgeous Scorch Red,
polished to a smooth, glossy finish that really highlights the
car's lines. On the '69 models, the lower body was painted black,
and this one is accented with the correct red stripe along with
matte black performance hood stripes for an aggressive muscle car
appearance. The chrome and trim are bright and shiny throughout,
while the grille and tail panel both present very well. The
windshield has been replaced, and the power convertible top looks
excellent. Finishing it all off is one of the best looks you can
put on a Mopar: a set of 15x8 Magnum 500 wheels wrapped in
BFGoodrich tires, and they look practically new.
INTERIOR: The GTX came with a more upscale interior than the Road
Runner, featuring bucket seats and a center console. This one is
further enhanced with a very rare six-way adjustable driver's seat.
There is woodgrain trim throughout, including the restored steering
wheel, adding to the premium feel. It also features a factory
tachometer in the dash, while the 8-track player is a unique and
desirable option. Down on the floor is good looking carpet with GTX
embroidered floor mats, and it still has a complete set of original
seat belts. The seats have been reupholstered, while the door
panels and dash pad have been replaced, giving the interior a
fresh, well restored appearance.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: There's a lot of great stuff packed under the
hood of this one. At its core is the correct date-coded 440 Super
Commando engine producing 375 horsepower. It retains the proper
valve covers, exhaust manifolds, air cleaner, and even date-coded
spark plug wires for an authentic appearance, while benefiting from
an upgraded Edelbrock carburetor with an electric choke for
improved drivability. It also features highly desirable power
steering and power brakes. What really puts this one over the top
is the factory air conditioning system, which has been serviced and
is ready to keep you comfortable. The engine compartment is very
complete with a Mopar radiator, correct hoses and clamps, and
because of the air conditioning, dual electric fans have been added
up front to help keep everything running cool. Both horns are
hooked up, the windshield squirters are connected, and it has a
reproduction Mopar battery properly secured with a disconnect
switch. The components are clean and proper throughout, the engine
bay is nicely painted red, and the hidden VIN stamp on the core
support along with the original fender tag still being in place
further support this car's authenticity.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is finished in glossy red paint, giving it a
clean and restored appearance. It's properly detailed with the
correct decal, fresh weatherstrip, and trunk mat. It even includes
the jack and spare assembly. Best of all, there's still plenty of
room for the lawn chairs and cooler so you can pack up and enjoy
the next cruise night or car show.
UNDERSIDE: Underneath this GTX appears to be rock solid with clean,
dry metal throughout. It's been painted black, giving it a neat and
tidy appearance. During the restoration, the suspension and
steering systems were completely rebuilt and upgraded with air
shocks for an improved ride. The brake system was also rebuilt and
recently serviced. The fuel system has been replaced, including the
fuel tank. It has a great sound thanks to a dual exhaust system
with stainless MagnaFlow mufflers. Looking up at the engine, it is
clean and well detailed, featuring a high-torque starter, and the
factory casting codes and dates are clearly visible on the side of
the block. The 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission is the
original VIN # matching unit to this car. A rebuilt driveshaft
sends power back to the correct 8� rear end equipped with 3.23
gears.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and our reputation. Every
vehicle goes through our service department where it is inspected,
test driven, and we address the essentials before offering it for
sale.
CONCLUSION: Not only do you have an incredibly enjoyable, good
looking convertible to cruise and have fun with, but you also have
a true blue chip investment grade Mopar. Its rarity and
desirability put it in a different category altogether. With only
53 built, how many survived? You will be very proud knowing you're
one of just a select few in the entire world that owns one!
