Rip Van Winkle’s Hemi GTX at Estate Auction

By Rob Einaudi

Editor-in-Chief

This ‘68 GTX has been sitting for 40 years and has just 5,831 miles on the clock. And it’s not on eBay. It will be sold alongside a bunch of tractors, antiques and miscellaneous junk at an estate auction in Malvern, PA on the weekend of June 7. The 4.56 gears suggest that the car saw a bit of drag racing action before it was parked, but it appears to be very original and correct. These kinds of finds are getting to be fewer and farther between. Pretty cool. More pics after the jump.

Looks like it needs cleaned up alot, but not too bad. I expect this one to sell for more than the house. After all, it is an all original low mileage #s matching Hemi equipped car, and those vintage license plates just add to the nostalgia. Too bad I ain’t got the cash.
