Supposedly, it is one of about 50 in the T3 Honey Bronze color.
Even though he had a minor mishap on the way up there with his truck, (exhaust hanger broke which caused part of the exhaust system to break) they made it up there ok with the elky and Dad was VERY pleased with the GTX! They had to add a little hydraulic fluid to the convertible top but aside from that, everything was fine and then some. They even replaced all of the radiator and heater hoses so now they all match (black color at least) vs. having one red heater hose and one black. Dad can't be happier.
Special thanks again to Darryl ( NH Mopar Fan) and Brian (NHcharger) from the board who checked out the car in person first for us. We can't thank you enough! Certainly two great guys in our book and can't wait to thank them in person out at Carlisle (even if we are only going for a day this year!)
