Great story, glad you found it.

Posting a few of Paul's pics. Looks so much better with the original VE3 bumper on it!

Wow...and what a cool story! :beers:

Two words; bad ass. Am I allowed to say that?

Tony, thank you for posting some pictures. The guy I bought the car from tried to keep the perfect original VE3 bumper. Some persuasion and a hand full of cash, I was able to buy it with the car.

The car originally came with SS rims...

Great story! Congrats!

Nice car, CONGRADS. I too have been looking for my old HS car, 1968 GTX rag CLONE/TRIBUTE. Story I got was the the ORIGINAL GTX was involved in a street-racing crash, the guy bought the car back, found a 1968 Sport Satellite convert, and changed EVERYTHING (440 4sp Dana 4.10 front torsion bars rear springs) over. The Original car went sideways into a pole on the passenger side door.

Anyways, I sold the car as we all do. I was able to relocate the car about 12 yrs ago in a Chevy guys collection. I spoke to him 4 yrs ago and still not willing to sell. I came to find out he passed away about 2 yrs ago now and the car was sold off. Still looking as depending on condition and the $$$, would buy it back ASAP.

Nothing like being 16 with a mild built GTX rag, 4sp 4.10 car. Black with black top and red interior. Fun times.

I see why people get attached to their old cars, I know I sure do. If I can get it, it WILL be in my will for my 2yr old son.

EZ Nova, good luck on your search! If you have VIN, put some want adds out on the MOPAR forums. Maybe the car will find....

Actually, I DO have the VIN. And here in Ontario one can take that VIN and find out the current owners name and town they live in. My car is 2 names (figure husband and wife oro something along that lines). Been to busy with my other 3 cars, business, having a baby and taking care of my mother. That will change this summer as I should have some more time to search it out.

I was perfect for me in HS. Now with the 2 yrs old son, that style of car would be great again. Sniper EFI and TKO 5sp would really make this a nice DRIVER car for the family. And being cloned/tribute whatever, not as concerned about driving and having problems like you would a REAL #'s car.

Thanks, I'm sure you will enjoy driving your old car. Mostly good memories I bet! Street racing, and "issues" with local law enforcement always come up!!!!LOL
