This GTX is not only an awesome restored show condition car, it is a very rare car with only 2,211 1971 GTX 440-4bbl automatic hardtops ever made!!! VIN # Trans Year Model Body Style Engine Remarks Produced RS23U1 AUTO 1971 GTX 2 DOOR HDTP 440-4 2211 The GTX has been fully restored from front to back. The drivetrain, front/rear suspension, engine bay, trunk, interior, gas tank, rear end, fuel lines, brake lines, and air grabber have all been restored to a very high quality restoration. This awesome GTX was mainly completed about 10 years ago and now has just had a fresh light restoration! The GTX will be an excellent car to be driven on nice days to shows and cruises. A restoration of this caliber takes a lot of time, patience and money to be done correct. Please understand this is not your average “driver” condition GTX!!! There has been more than 65K spent on this awesome restoration and the quality shows! I typically restore or finish around 10 Mopars a year and have been working on them for more than 25 years and I do everyone as they were my own to keep. I put a lot of time, effort, pride and money in the cars that I offer for sale which is evident when viewing one of my cars compared to others for sale. This is one of the few cars you can view in person and say that it is actually nicer than the photos. The GTX will be on display at the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals in Carlisle, PA on July 11,12 &13. It will be displayed in the car corral area! Thanks and hope to see you there! Please call Chad at 412- 496- 1439 with any questions. Thanks! PAINT, BODY AND FRAME The body is extremely straight and clean and in excellent shape. The trunk floor, trunk extensions, wheel well housings, doors, floor boards, quarters and fenders are all in great original condition. The rear quarters had only the center area over the wheel section replaced. The frame and floorboards are in excellent original shape. The undercarriage is very clean and neat with no rust and has the original green paint under the factory undercoat. The PPG FJ6 Sassy Grass Green base/clear paint was done around 12 years ago and looks like it is fresh out of the paint booth. The outside of the inner fenders were also painted body color. Even the jams are awesome on this car including both doors and the trunk jam. The super high-gloss deep clear coat shine was just professionally wet sanded with 1500 and 2000 grit paper to achieve a high caliber ultra finish. This long process alone took over 40 hours and the finish shows it! The door jams are super nice and clean and you can see the factory seems all the way around the edges. The are only a few very minor flaws in the paint: very small brush touch chip on the back corner of the hood (shown in photo), couple very small chips on the very bottom of the ¼’s (behind the tires) GLASS, CHROME AND TRIM The front windshield is newer and the rear glass is in nice original condition. The side glass is in very good original shape and only has a few minor small scratches. All the glass is factory tint and all date coded with exception to the new front glass. The front and rear bumpers are newer and in excellent condition. The outside door handles and antenna are newer. The trim pieces are super clean and were polished for optimum shine. The front grill has been restored and has the correct GTX emblem. The taillights and rocker moldings are very nice original’s (also restored) and look beautiful. The taillight bezel is newer. INTERIOR The black interior has been completely restored and looks excellent! Some new items are the door panels, arm rest pads, door handles, window cranks, carpet, speaker shelf, trunk divider, sill/scuff plates, seat covers (Legendary Auto), headliner, glove box liner, door and roof rail weather-stripping and dash pad. The Rallye dash cluster is also in very nice restored original condition with factory tachometer. All factory gauges work and operate correctly. All lighting works as should including the high/low beams, dome light, reverse lights, tail lights, parking lights, turn signals, four-way flashers, and license plate light. The fan motor (switch mounted on bottom of the dash), horn, factory AM/FM radio (radio AM works but problem with FM) and E-brake all work. The A/C heater box and most of the factory duct work is still under the dash if anyone is looking to add the A/C back on. I have another working correct AM/FM radio that I will include. DRIVE TRAIN The strong running all rebuilt 440-6 is a 1972 steel crank motor with well under 5,000 miles on it! It has the correct 440 hp manifolds on it. It has a Edelbrock six pack intake and Holley carbs, linkage, new electronic distributor kit with ECU box, and new Mopar coil. The engine was completely rebuilt and I have all the info from the previous owner that has had the car for more than 12 years. It had been totally done: magnafluxed, bored .030 over and decked, polished crank, 6 pack forged pistons, recon. rods, crane adjustable rockers and push rods, totally redone heads with minor street porting, hardened seats, valves, springs, stems, seals etc… Also had new freeze plugs, gaskets, fuel pump and was upgraded oil pump and hemi oil pan. The 440 makes excellent power and runs great. This engine runs extremely smooth and very easy to drive in any given traffic condition. The motor does not smoke, tick or make any noises. The casting date on the 440 is 11-1-71. The ID badge is H-440 making it a 1972 440. The engine casting number is 2536430. The manifolds are 2843992 and 2806900 casting numbers. You will not believe how nice the GTX sounds!!! The automatic 727 was completely rebuilt from front to back and shifts excellent through the gears and is an absolute blast to drive! The ID number is 3A237413 making it a 1973 trans. The GTX has excellent drivability and cools well even in stop and go traffic. This excellent drive train combo runs and drives awesome in all conditions whether highway or city driving. Also added were a electric thermostat controlled fan and a heavy duty tranny cooler! The Air Grabber works excellent! It has a brand new factory on/off switch and vacuum lines. It opens and closes excellent and looks super cool!!! It is a very nice factory Mopar set up that was added some time ago along with the hood! The 8 ¾ rear-end has a 3.55 posi unit with new bearings and seals. SUSPENSION The complete front suspension has been restored with made in the USA Moog parts. The rear suspension has been redone with newer leaf springs and bushings. The upper and lower ball joints, upper control arm bushings, tie rods, sway bar end links (front and rear), and many other parts are all new. All the brakes, drums, rotors, brake hardware, lines, hoses and wheel cylinders are newer.
