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

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.

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.

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
