Greatest "I found a car" story you have

OK, long about 1995 or so I'm working with my buddy and he says we have a job just down the road from his house doing a nice addition on another friends place. We go down to look at the job and sitting on the other side of the road are 2 mopars, a 67 GTX and a 69 Sport Satellite. They are owned by a guy who works at Ford, and he gets home about 3 p.m. everyday, so I go over and talk to him the first time I see him. Nope the cars aren't for sale, the 69 is his sons and he owns the GTX which has a spun bearing in the motor. Open the hood on the GTX and there sits a 1970 SixPak setup complete, and on top of that is what I come to find out is an aircleaner from a 67 Tri-power Corvette. Hmmm, wonder how the bearing got spun???

So, everyday at lunch I go over and start checking into the GTX, running numbers, checking equipment and documenting what I soon realize is a numbers matching, almost untouched GTX. After a couple weeks I get a brainstorm... why not drive my 64 Belvedere to work one day and offer it as a trade, even up. So I do, and the next day when he gets home I drive the Belvy over and tell him "lets trade straight up, your non-running car for my running one". He couldn't get the title out of the strongbox fast enough, and secretly I was a wreck of nerves waiting on my buddy to come with his flatbed and take me and my new prize home. Got it home, stripped the SixPak off and sold it and spent the $$ to rebuild the motor, and buy an intake and carb. I then traded the air cleaner for all the soft items I needed for Wendy's 66..

What ever happened to the GTX??? Well.....
