More pics soon... As far as its history, I am a little confused.

It/she was titled to someone in Tulsa, Okla., in 1998. I have no records of the car before that, EXCEPT a copy of an internal GM sales invoice showing:

Sold to: G.M. Overseas Distributors Corp. in NYC

...who is that and why?

It shows as options:
-cordova top
-rally 2 wheels
-soft ray glass all around
-p/b am radio
-variable power steering
-G78-14 WSW tires

...and finally...

EXPORT PREP

...what is THAT?

So the car must have quickly gone from NYC (if it ever got there to begin with) to the southwest because the sheetmetal is very nice.

Export prep was probably for shipping overseas? Very cool. Looking forward to the pics.

What a neat GP! There was a '69 GP 4-speed that was for sale a couple of years ago with "export prep" shown on the invoice. It had a special bracket for shipping purposes attached to the center of the front cross-member. Does your car have this as well? Here's a picture of it...

LOVE all the rides in here guys!!!!

So I'm somewhat new around here, and have ALWAYS loved the 69 GP. This last September I ran into the perfect car for me. A really nicely restored J with it's original 428 (made into a HO). The previous owner did a beautiful resto to it and tossed in a 200R overdrive during the process. Perfect for what I will be doing with the car. Hot Rod Power Tour and POCI in June. Love this car! I don't think it will ever leave my collection! I one day want to own a 4 speed car.


This was the moment I got it home (drove it from Phoenix to Chicago) and the wife hopped right in and wanted to take it for a spin. (and she did)













A few of the resto:
