A couple years back there was a 68(?) GTX for sale from Venezuela. The strange thing is it didn't look like a GTX. It was definitely a B body, it was definitely Mopar (had a 318), but it was somewhat different. It was very cool. I wish I had saved the pictures of it.



Wonder if it was based on an A-body?  I saw some Venezulan Mopars that were A-body based and they looked very cool.

I'm pretty sure it was a B. It definitely looked long like a B body. It was posted on the Dodge Charger forums, so it was likely a B. :)

It would surprise me, if there is a Challenger or Cuda in a Third-World-Country. If so, it would be an interesting story.
I have seen many cars in a few European Countries. There was a Shaker Cuda in Germany, back in the 80's. One of the GIs drove it around. Don't know what happened to it. So
if anyone of you guys has a Shaker Cuda that was once overseas with a GI, it could be this one.
Then there was a Cuda ('70, if I remember right) at a Truck-Stop on a German Autobahn in the summer of 1987 (hey, my brain still remembers that...), was registered in Sweden, 2 guys and two very beautiful Swedish girls were in it, aha ! that's why I remember it... the car had one of those popular (back then) metal-flake paint jobs. Since the Sweds care so much about their cars, I am wondering if this one is still around. Switzerland has a few Challengers and Cudas, they are crazy about auto-care as well. American cars in general, were always popular in Switzerland and it was always kind of a hobby of the Swiss middleclass. Have seen a Challenger in France once, was in bad condition. I have to go through old photo-albums, I will post again...

Ah yes! I think this is the type of GTX I saw in that eBay auction from Venezuela.

The Brazilian Chargers definitely are. They scream 69 Dart. The GTX though?
