Mecum Kissimmee 2018 hemi RR

[Billohio]

I have a 67 GTX and a 69 Z. My GTX is a 440 car with a 472 hemi and some good parts in the engine.Not a real high priced car even with an original hemi but I have always like the body style. Yes the Z handles way better but like you say I am not racing around corners.
Other than the 70 and 71 cudas, I am not crazy about how some of the mopars look that had hemis. They just got so long and look more like a 2 door family car to me. Thats just my opinion.

Bill, I know what you mean.

I will be 52 in February. When I was 16, I saved and bought my first car, a 1968 GTX convertible 440 4sp Dana 4.10. Blk with Blk top and red interior. I had money down on a 1970 440+6 Cuda 4sp and 4.10 Dana. B5 Blue blk int, rally hood not shaker car. Guy went away for work, and was going to be overseas for months before he could get back home.

So got my $$$ back and was able to make a deal on the GTX as I went to school with the guy, he was leaving for college and had the car for sale.

REASON for this story is, my friend who just bought this Hemi RR was also looking at the GTX I bought when we were younger. We hung around for a couple years. Played football and hockey together. I didn't know he was talking to the owner about the GTX. So when my deal on the Cuda went south, we talked and made the deal. Money changed hands and I took the car. My friend had went to Florida on vacation. He was going to buy the car when he got back, but I bought it not knowing he was looking at it.

He told us he was looking at a '69 Superbee 383 4 sp buckets console car. So he DID buy that after I bought the GTX. I also bought a '68 340 GTS Dart and he bought a red '67 Coronet Rt.

Today I have 3 Chevy's. He has different '69 Superbee that's done up like an A12 car, and a '69 RS/SS Camaro convertible 396/375 auto car, and now this Hemi RR too.

Charley, I myself have never seen the car. Just been told by friends. Will try to get some more info on it. I believe the $$$$ were about the same as the Hemi he just bought, but in Canadian funds????

I've only been in his '69 Superbee. I was told he bought the Camaro for his wife.
