1970 GTX

last update 07/13/2008

The GTX has gone through several transformations in the past few years, lets fast forward to 7/13/08. Andy in the foreground and Joe is helping Annie out with her burnout. Notice the 6.98 dial in for the 8th mile run! This is a "first" time ever the GTX has ran under 7.0 seconds.

The rear suspension is hooking hard and the front tires are lifting, another first!

Round one match up.

Annie had a great time at the Mopar races in Boise in June '01 with the GTX and went to the final round to finish runner up. Nice job!

            The engine specs are no longer correct as of 7-12-08.  The restoration of this car took 2 years to complete. The car was in pretty good shape when I bought it. The original engine had been replaced with a later model 440 which I swapped out for a 1970 engine with only 45,000 mile. The engine was hot tanked and inspected to find it didn't need bored. A repro 375 hp cam and a new set of rings and bearings and a set of fresh 915 heads along with a 780 cfm holly and the Mopar performance ignition were the only performance add ons for the GTX. The car runs and drives like a new one with the help of the rebuilt front end and a Firm Feel stage 3 power steering box. I chose a color which resembles the burnt orange color which came on the car originally.
