Coming up on 4 years now. I drove 250 mi north to small town on Canadian boarder to look and buy a '69 GTX. A Chevy guy with multiple Chevy cars and the one Plymouth he bought 15+ years ago and did virtually nothing with. (Good!) He kept pushing a 71 Nova with a new (you guessed it) 350 auto trans. The engine was converted to EFI. And sounded healthy. He wanted same $20k price. Highlighting how well it pops off and runs. Saying the Plymouth takes like 15 sec of cranking to for it to start. I said. "Its because you have a manual choke Holley 750 wired open." I'm surprised it starts that well cold." All the time he spent on talking Nova. And me doing my Joe Friday impersonation saying. "Just the facts about the Plymouth sir." While in my head? "ITS JUST A FREAKING 350 AUTO NOVA! And a '71 to boot!" "You are trying to compare to a '69 440 GTX 4-speed?"
I drove that GTX the 250 mi home. Ran like a champ. (Poor chase truck trying to keep up. Lol) Below is a short walk around vid of car on that day. (I wonder if he is still trying to push that Nova? Lol.)
