Yeah Lou, This car looks like the '70 GTX that had a story in one of my Mopar magazines many years ago. This story involves a Vietnam vet also with the same B5 blue and the 440 SIX BARREL. Part of the story was when he was in the driveway with the hood up and his dad noticed that part of the throttle linkage was not hooked up, so the owner hooked it back on and went for a spin to see what it was for, so he nailed the throttle and in split second the GTX was going SIDEWAYS!! Thought that was a cool story. Thanks Lou!

Like the Roadrunner of 68 and 69, this car put emphasis on the drivetrain and suspension, and everything else was either bare-bones, or close to bare-bones! In fact, in 68 and 69, you had to specify the GTX to get all the sport "goodies" like the mags, highback buckets, sport paintjob, console, A/C, etc...
