Looking forward to seeing it in person! For those of you who don't know, Gary is the one who built the 71 GTX convertible last year as well at the 71 Superbird and 71 Daytona wing cars!

I'm glad he posted a web link cause I always hoped to god that someone didnt chop up a real GTX to make it a convert. My mind is now at ease.

I'm going to Carlisle this year. Hope to find some good parts. I've never been to the Nat's. I would love to go for the races. If you go to Carlisle, than bring your check book. They have a great swap meet. If you can't find it here, they didn't make it!

No, it started as a Satellite. Dave recorded all the numbers when he was here a few years back. I haven't posted anywhere but here for a long time. As Eric knows, I've been full tilt with these heavy fabbed 'what if' projects. If I can find the pic of our next project I'll post when I'm done typing. It's the 71/2 GTX styling concept car. So far, only one known pic exists of it. Still working on the SRT-71. Should be down to the wire for Carlisle. Ok, found the pic. Any further info would be appreciated. Gary.

Interesting pic from MCG. Looking forward to your next project. I think I've seen all but one at the Nats.

Have to admit your creativity and effort helps keep us humble.

More pics of Pam too!?

Opps I forgot to say I sure like that GTXprotoshoprev.jpg what do you think the chances are we can talk chrysler into bringing back the plymouth brandname so they can factory produce those?

I honestly think Plymouth going out of business was a good call on their part..

Reason I say that is, they knew when to stop,all they were making was soccer mom vans anyway.imagine if they were still in business,it would be sad,theyd be doing the same thing chevy and everyone else is,making newer cars that are.....im my mind tasteless.

I think in the auto industry its important to know your limits.And they did.

And RS23 71,I like your ideas about bringing that car to life,but why does someone else have to do it?Get to work!

You mean like if they would have remade a car with the name of Sundance?
