Vehicle Description
1971 was the final year for the Plymouth GTX. So when a rare coupe
like this has custom vibrant paint, a well-appointed interior, and
a big 440 V8 under the hood, this famous muscle car went out with a
bang, not a whimper.
There was only one year that gave the GTX seriously sinister
styling. The full front overhang makes the headlights look like the
eyes of a criminal lurking in the darkness. And that blackout style
goes well with the chin spoilers, power dome hood insert, 440
callouts, and full-width rear spoiler. But it wasn't the darkness
that first grabbed your attention. Instead, it's the vibrant color
that's the most captivating part of this coupe. The trim tag even
tells us that this was born in Plymouth's special Tor-Red available
from the iconic High Impact color options. It's so desirable that
even the bumpers were color-matched. The shiny finish shows off the
well-done sheet metal and flared lines that make this one-year GTX
so special.
The black exterior accents get you ready for the fashionably dark
interior. The doors, carpet, headliner, and dash all keep the
midnight theme going. But as a premium GTX, there is also some nice
wood paneling surrounding the gauges, in front of the passenger,
and on the doors. This presentation is exactly what you like if
you're a fan of Mopar originality. And when there are upgrades,
they are nicely integrated, like the retro-style AM/FM stereo with
Bluetooth and air conditioning running modern R134a (it will need
servicing to blow cold again.) And we love that this GTX keeps the
driver-focused attitude. That means high-back front bucket seats,
full gauges with large speedo and tach, and a center console with
Slap Stick shifter and a pistol grip.
Another great feature of the premium GTX was that the 440 Super
Commando V8 came standard with the package. So we are quite happy
to see the correct displacement and such a tidy setup of this
replacement motor filling the engine bay. You'll love showing off
the Coyote Duster air topper, and this even has the ultra-mean air
grabber hood installed (you may need to service it to get it to
rise up and intimidate traffic.). Beneath that is an Edelbrock
four-barrel carburetor that helps this mighty V8 inhale even
better. Plus, we all love the roar a big Mopar V8 makes out of the
dual exhaust. But more than just flexing its muscles, this GTX is a
great cruiser, too. The coupe's premium package included a beefier
suspension, and that's joined by other features such as power
steering, front disc brakes, a rear sway bar, and the wide Cooper
Cobra tires on classic Mopar road wheels.
The sale even comes complete with the factory buildsheet so you can
see how this was built with the big motor and bright paint. This is
the last of the GTXs, and you know something this bold won't stay
available for long. Call today!!!
