The Plymouth GTX was advertised in period as “Plymouths fastest way to win you over.” It proved to be one of the most exciting platforms to come out of Detroit in the era of the rubber-churning, V-8 powered musclecars. Based on the Belvedere, the GTX was designed with performance as the first and foremost priority. The GTX had just enough flair to make anybody – in anything - think twice about revving their engine next to it at a red light. The clues were subtle but clear: a special grille and tail panel, simulated hood scoops, and a “pit stop” chrome gas cap.

For the discriminating MOPAR collector, we offer this 46,500 mile Hemi GTX, one of only a very modest 90 such coupes produced. It is purported to be very correct with its proper drivetrain that includes a 426-cid, 425-hp Hemi V-8 engine that is matched up with a console-shift TorqueFlite automatic transmission. This exhilarating GTX was re-finished in 2002 with the correct and rare copper colors, both outside and the interior, while utilizing its original sheetmetal. Factory provided features include a console-mounted tachometer, power steering, bucket seats, radio with rear speaker, dual white stripes that run from front-to-back over the top of the car, chromed factory road wheels , redline tires; plus there are auxiliary water, battery and oil gauges. This Plymouth has been maintained to a high show quality and can be immediately taken to a national event or appreciated in the best musclecar museum.
