That color looks great on just about any car!

Picking up, but it's not mine; it's my girlfriend's car. She has had a muscle car bug for quite awhile, but she thought she wanted Chevelle until she saw some of my cars, and when taking a look at a broad variety she got tunnel vision for a '69 GTX. It seems others have also, as the price for a decent one is nukkin futs.

This one is an Arizona A/C car, all original sheet metal, with no patchwork and was owned by the same guy since the '90s. Said he had won over 60 trophies over the years and said he had to sell it due to medical bills. He looked pretty droopy when I was chaining it down.

Future medicals that finally overwhelm me is my biggest fear in life.

So is that a GTX with a RR grille? Or have I been away from B bodies for that long?

The whole car Looks like a Road Runner to me including the graphics on the doors. ;)

 

[tallhair]

Yeah everything looks RR incl tail lights and lack of GTX/SS finish on trunk

when one of my cars leave I always feel droopy too, like your kid moving out of state

So what gives? The lady wants an X and all you could come up with is this RR???

I looked at a crap load of cars and I would take a nice Runner over a cobbled GTX and the difference in price between the two seems to be increasing.

I just did the searching and nit picking, the money was hers, and I think she is pretty happy with the end result. She did oddly get one with GTX tail lights and wants to leave it this way. Another strange coincidence is that her pickup is a near twin to the guy's Dodge in the picture.
