1970 build your own convertible GTX, from Virginia, (cool plates)

Of course Plymouth didn't make any, so this cool guy decided he was the right man for the job of adding one to the lexicon. Really, look at this, and tell me what was the brain trust at Mother Mopar thinking when they didn't do this? It's a no brainer for sure.

Just take and find one of the 700 or so ever made convertible Satellites (yeah, right... good luck finding one for sale) add the GTX grill and tail light parts. Put together a bitchin' 440, add some Lakewood bars if you like the look, shoe it with terrific looking Torque Thrust D's, put the GTX emblems behind the side scoops, and Bob's your uncle, (viola is so damn French, them buggers) you've got a damn fine looking and performing drop top.
Still a little course for some, but the owner said he's not looking to be worried about every scratch and ding, it's a machine for enjoying, not a trophy hunter. Rock on.

I just dig this view.

Cool Caddy Convertible at Kimball Park (almost allliterative ain't it?)





Why was Hurst doing a promo with a Lincoln Continental in checkerboard?

Original owner 1964 Chevelle Malibu SS convertible partially restored, it's been repainted, but still has original top and back seats

After seeing the above magazine (yup, this exact one) Miss Santow and her mom went to the local Chevrolet dealership and ordered it's exact duplicate

I forgot to get a photo of the owner, this is Just A Car Gal Tere in the car... she wants one someday

Here are a couple of shots of the album the travels with the car of gas and oil consumption

Original sales reciept and order form


Hot Rods and Custom Stuff had two really cool displays at the Grand National Roadster show, a convertible 1968 Barracuda and pinstripped 32 parts


1966 convertible GTO 389 tri power, numbers matching... rough, but priced right at just $15,000, or 7500 w/o powertrain



Sweet convertible Comet, not often found at car shows, and with an interesting taillight repair




the drivers side brake light lens is just a flipped over passenger side lens... the lettering on it is upside down. The trim piece around the drivers side is bent just to the inside right hand side of it, and that seems to have meant the car owner had to replace a broken drivers side lens, and could only find a passenger side lens. The drivers side lens is far less crackled.

Sweet convertible Stude at Escondido
