Here are some pic's of my 70 GTX it still has a long way to go. I've nearly finished the engine bay and interior and will be starting on the body work very shortly, It's just nice to have it back on the road even with the 4:30 gears in it. I will be getting some 3:23's, new bumpers,new exhaust, 15" rallys with new BFG's soon ready for the Nats.

Looking great mate, I bet you're happy that you never sold it.

That looks absolutely top... and you are doing it the same was as I'm doing mine, from the inside out!

That's got to be the only Burnt Orange 70 GTX outside of the States by my reckoning, you should be chiuffed to bits.

Kev sez take a pound out of the till! :wink:

There is (or was) another Burnt Orange 70 GTX in the UK. I haven't seen it for years. It used to live in Surrey or Kent I believe, - i wonder if it's still around?

More recently a friend of mine bought one. I have a picture of part of it in the background near my Challenger taken while Richard Ward was restoring my car.

That's right Ivor, so you did. - No it's not the same car.
