Re: Barrett-Jackson at Palm Beach......
The "Silver Bullet" GTX is either the original or a copy of a real street racer from the '60s. I think it was owned by a Chrysler tech engineer and it was used as an unofficial "development car" for Mopar high-perf stuff. I've read a story that tech engineers from the various manufacturers would street race cars like this at night around the Detroit area and at one time they used a new, nearly completed freeway as a track. There was also a '68 SS Camaro in this group that had a "Grump lump" hood and a tunnel-rammed Rat underneath. I wonder if this GTX is the same/original car?
