My favorite type of muscle car:

[black69]

1968 hemi GTX: Original owner, low miles, was used as intended, cool color. Even has its original wheels (last pictures show snow tires!).
It looks like someone just loved and enjoyed that car.

I wish I had some extra funds, I would go after this one! It would <span style="font-style: italic">never</span> leave my collection!

My FIRST car when I was 16 was a REALLY GOOD CLONE of a 1968 440 GTX convertible. 440 4 sp Dana 4.10's, black with black top, red interior. Car was nice and was &quot;good&quot; money in this part of Canada. I paid $4,800.00 for it. It was my second choice. I actually BOUGHT a 1970 Barracuda 440+6 4 sp Dana 4.10's. B5 blue with blue interior. Guy went away on business during winter and was longer coming home, so I was able to buy the GTX.

Now back in 83/84 is when this happen. The GTX was $4,800.00, the Cuda was $3,700.00. Both had really good paint and interiors were nice. To put it into perspective, Rene Destille (sp) was from Quebec. He was at a local show with his 70/71 Plum Crazy Hemi Challenger R/T convertible. At the time, this was a magazine car and he was ASKING $30,000.00 US at the time. We thought he was WAY outta line and would never get that. Man I should have bought that car and mortgaged a house LOL

[markinnaples]

The big body '68-'70 GTX's are some of my favorite Mopars of all time.

Mopars always seemed to be the choice of burnouts and pot heads back when I was growing up for some reason, but they have truly stood the test of time and look great now. I'd totally buy one if the right deal came up.

[69hurstSC]

Love those quarter window decals! They give the car so much character. Leave it as is.

I think Raxdale is near Woodabridge isn't it?

Here are some pics so you dont have to click on the link. If anyone is going to this auction that lives near by, those Hemi wheels I believe are worth $500 a piece, or even more (if they are 15&quot;). It is sad if they sell them separate from the car. Man, I wish I could bid on it, and just wash it and leave it like we all would do! I dont think that shade is really common on a mopar is another reason I love it.

I actually worked just North of that intersection for a very brief time. Didn't know it was considered so dangerous? Isn't that near where ROFO likes to go for his late night burgers?

[Brocca]

Yes

What the heck is that???? A blank broadcast sheet that someone filled in by hand, and then put fake seat spring marks on?

[earntaz]

OR it is an actual sheet with faded letters/numbers that someone wrote over to make them more legible? Should have made a copy and then wrote on it … just MHO … TAZ

I was wondering that too. It does look like it was a blank. The pic is small so it's hard to tell if anything is actually printed on there.

[dykstra]

Very cool car.

Rick and I went to the sale this morning. Here's some more pics. The car sold for 93k all in. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics/usergals/2015/12/full-1805-36420-img_20151219_085825224.jpg

They had a copy of the original Indiana title the original Arizona title a copy of the build sheet that was handwritten and the current title.



The original owner was still alive and present at the auction and thought the car was worth 125 K which apparently in 2006 is what he was offered....

[RST]

I am very surprised this car went for that kind of money, good for him and good for us all : )

[Bill Pritchard]

I think $93K is VERY strong money for that car.

Scott (and Bill), I agree!

[SpaceLord]

Way more than I would have even considered.

[black69]

I think a few things aligned on why it went even more than I thought too. If they made close to 400 or so hemi GTXs, very few (in my opinion) are in a very desirable color like this one. Color does matter in value. Lets say that narrows the field to 100-150 cars produced. Then add in it's a survivor with original engine, no mysteries. That likely narrows the good color cars down to maybe 10% (or 10-15 cars on the planet). So I would guess, everything lined up for atleast 2 collectors, to try to compete for this rare car. They did the math on the odds you will NOT find another like it any time soon.

[sixt9rsx33]

Wow $93K is big money for that car IMO. Great car, with docs, and original engine but seems to be high. I love the B body cars from 68 - 70 very cool, with outrageous lines, especially the Charger. I agree good for us. I hope prices keep climbing.
