GSD cars are not even close to what a Yenko ect.. are. they went through COPO or had complete engines ready to swap, taking a 327/350 out and installing a alum head 427 ect.. just my two cents ....
correct drums standard, they were the bigger 10" all around, i think disc was standard on the 70 duster 340's .

I've posted some stuff from Best of Show before....I get emails from them pretty regularly and every once in a while a car catches my fancy....I thought this one was worth posting even though it looks like someone puked on the seats....I just wish I had the money to buy it!

BEAUTIFUL Mopar, but I'd be very wary. My bro bought a "pristine, matching #'s, fully restored 68 GTX" from Carroll a little over a year ago & it took 2nd place in stock at MATS. Paid $42K for it off Ebay & later had to sell it when the economy crashed, to pay his daughter's college tuition. Buyer flipped it for $52K on ebay & 5 mos later, my bro gets a call from the new owner, that the car is a fake. Looking in retrospect, even the tag reveals its a repop (as you can see in the pic). A guy came up to us at the Vegas show & said he knew the car & it wasn't a B5 GTX, but a gold Satellite. We thought he was just drunk & passed it off.
He was right. Maybe Carrol bought the car already cloned & didn't know it, so don't want to accuse him, but morale is 'BUYER BEWARE"....
When he bought the X did he check the rad support, and trunk lip for the spo #'s, also X's have a 150 speedo, HD springs.BEAUTIFUL Mopar, but I'd be very wary.

Are you saying the Fender Tag you are showing is a Satellite?
If yes you are misinformed!
I took the liberty to decode the Fender Tag shown in pic:
From the bottom....

So.... As you can see, It IS a real GTX!
Hope this helps someone
