Re: Deja vu
Yeah Jim, I agree. Most white X's I've seen had a red interior, especially in 1969. I think it would go nicer with that red stripe, and be even more of a twin to my Crossfire. Ironically, I've got an original White 68 with a black interior and black stripes sitting in my garage right next to my 69.

Re: Deja vu
Wow cool car! Thanks for sharing, it took me dowm memory lane. In Dec. of 69 I was 18 and after two years in an Opel GT when my friends were driving Mustangs, Vetts, Chevells, AMX'S (you get the picture) I finally got a 65 GTO 389 TRI POWER. Those were the days, between the cars and the war thank God most of us lived through it. That little Opel did teach me how to shift pretty good just trying to keep up with the pack.

Re: Deja vu
Talk about memory lane.
In 1966 my "steady" was the daughter of a man with two American Motors dealerships. We were talking the big M word and I was close to being a son-in-law.
But my dad was a Pontiac man.
So for the Prom I insisted on driving my 56 Starchief instead of the Javelin or the Marlin her father offered. I could have had anything on the lot. Including his lovely blonde daughter.
But, I was my own man! We went to the prom in the Pontiac. And later, I was single, looking for a new girlfriend.

And there goes any and all perceptions you all had that I might be intelligent.

Cathy was pure luck. Or pure hormones, depending on who you ask.
Intelligence had nothing to do with it.
That said, I wouldn't mind an AMX in the garage. (But, I wouldn't trade Cathy for it)

I worked at a Buick Dealer from 1967 to 69, and I loved those Opel GT's. As a matter of fact, I got to go to Cleveland and drive back the first one that went on sale in Akron. (They unloaded them off the boat, but for some reason they wouldn't fit on the car haulers at the time) so they had to be driven or trailored to their dealers destination. If I hadn't had my sights set on buying an AMX at the time, I may have wound up with one of those GT's.
By the way the 1965 GTO was, and still is my favorite GTO of all time. The closest I ever got to owning one was a 66 Buick Skylark GS.

Fantastic photo shop work. Kind of messes with ones eyes the same way the old Mopar "Shaker" hood scoop decals did.
