Highly detailed rotisserie restoration. When I first saw this car I said, ""this is the shiniest car I've seen!"" It's glossy and spotless everywhere I looked. Photos of the restoration and original build sheet is included.
EXTERIOR: Was this thing dipped in clear or what? It is polished glossy everywhere! The body work is outstanding: it's straight, all the lines are right on, the panels fit properly, and doors shut like new. There is no rust or damage. Repainted its original rare Spanish Gold color. The light gold metallic has been laid out evenly and the clear coat is polished like wet glass. The black stripes are typically a matte finish, but on this GTX they are glossy and man does it look good. The functional air grabber hoods have red grills which pick up the other red accents very well. The new vinyl top is a beautiful pearl white. The chrome sparkles! The front bezels have been chrome plated and the grill is restored. The turn signals on top of the fenders have fresh chrome, as do the door handles, vent window frames, antenna base, mirrors, and door handles. The stainless trim and even the wiper arms are polished. The tail panel and taillights look like new, the bumper is rechromed. The windshield and side glass have been replaced. It's sitting on some sparkling new 15 inch Magnum 500 wheels, wider in back. They are wrapped in radial tires.
INTERIOR: I love that the interior is factory P6W white, it's very refreshing against the gold paint. The seats have been rebuilt and are firm, the new upholstery fits tight and the headrests were redone. The carpets been replaced, and it has GTX embroidered floor mats. A very nice original console is sitting between the bucket seats, and it has working lights and an owner's manual inside the compartment. The door panels have been replaced. In front of me is a clean dash with a factory tachometer the factory radio. It does have an upgraded polished tilt column with a custom steering wheel that looks really good. Under the dash is the red lever you can pull to feed fresh air into the carb. Overhead as a tight fitting new headliner and visors, the dome light works. It has its full set of original seat belts.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Wow, that's a beautiful engine compartment. It has the N96 code on tag which means it is a factory air grabber car, this one has been chrome plated including the big air cleaner which looks amazing. Underneath it is a correct 1969 440-375 engine that was completely rebuilt. It has a polished aluminum intake and Edelbrock carb on top. The front of the engine is decked out with a chrome alternator, chrome pulleys and water pump. Upgraded with a modern aluminum power steering. It's also upgraded with an aluminum radiator and overflow bottle. It also has power brakes. Everything looks tidy and proper: The squirters are hooked up wiper motor was restored, the horns are in place, the battery is properly secured and has a disconnect switch. The fender tag is in place and the hidden VIN number is on the core support. The entire engine bay is clean metal painted glossy.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: You guessed it, it's even glossy in here! The underside of the trunk lid, the jamb and the entire inside of the trunk is painted the same glossy colors as the exterior. It has a reproduction mat and weatherstrip. The latch is chrome along with the Magnum 500 wheel. A new car cover is being thrown in as well.
UNDERSIDE: Every single component was removed from under this car it was flipped on a rotisserie. The floors and frame rails are all pristine metal painted the same high gloss Spanish Gold as on top. The front suspension has been completely rebuilt. The front K member, swaybar and upper control arms are chrome plated! The rear suspension was rebuilt. The brake system was upgraded with disc at all four wheels, the lines were replaced. It has a custom exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers and the correct tips. The new fuel system was upgraded with a polished stainless tank that looks like chrome. Looking up at the motor it is spotless with a chrome oil pan and high torque starter. The VIN # matching 727 Torqueflite automatic has been rebuilt and has a chrome pan. The rebuilt driveshaft goes back to an 8 3/4 rear end with 3.23 Sure Grip gears.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you the best cars within reason.
I think this one stands out from the others; I will remember this car for years to come. High quality restoration of a very attractive car. It will make the next owner very proud!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide is my professional opinion based on my experience with these vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
