Hi...!

I want to share My other ride!

It is an Argentine only model. A Dodge GTX from 1973. It has a 318 cu in V8 with some mods.

I have it for at least 10 years.

Hope you like it..!

You probably want your old car back now, eh Dustin?
 
Nice looking ride. Doesn't seem quite right with GTX in the grille and only 318 cubes under the hood , but , "When in Argentina........:punk:
 
thanks guys..!

Yes, is not even like the american GTX, but here it was the biggest displacement engine you could find stock.

the other brands, only has a 250 straight 6 for the chevy nova and a 221 straight 6 for the ford falcon....

The Argentine GTX is a morph of a class A chassis like the valiant or dart and some kind of looks of the real gtx... I'ts more light than the class B bodys (gtx, charger, etc...) and with the 318 or even the slantsix (225) was pretty fast... (not even trying to compare to tyour dream muscle cars!!!)

Here is a race category called TC ( turismo carretera) that still race's with this cars.. (Falcons, Novas, GTX and Torinos(AMC) ) In early 80's the GTX could easy "flight"at 315 kms/h (197mph) in some open road races with the 225 slant six..! No this category is only circuit races...
Really mad pilots!

To My GTX I have upgraded with forged pistons, a mild mopar cam, edelbrock Intake, Holley 4bbl, more compression, prepared intake and exhaust runners, bigger manual transmission...etc.... Now I have to put a new differential with disk brakes and a locker....etc...

well thanks again for your comments..!

WOW! 197mph? I had a mid '70s Duster in high school that had the slant six in it and I can tell you for sure that the only prayer that slug ever had of reaching 197mph was if I dropped the damn thing out of an airplane.
I don't know what you guys are feeding your slant six's down there in Argentina, but I want some.
