Vehicle Description
This has so much of Mopar's best features that a factory-built car
of this caliber costs could have approached six figures. After all,
it has a beautiful High Impact color, the best interior features,
and a screaming 440 V8 under the hood. And even as a tribute, this
1970 Plymouth GTX is exceptionally rare.
For starters, Mopar fans know that there was no GTX convertible in
1970. So this tribute started out life as a Plymouth Satellite
droptop, and there were only 701 of those produced. So yes, even as
a tribute, this car has an amazing rarity. To that you add a
high-quality application of the ionic High Impact shade of
In-Violet Metallic. It looks great on a sunshine-friendly droptop.
And the only thing that shines brighter in the sunlight are all the
chrome pieces like the ultra-wide bumpers that help give this
B-body its blocky stance. That's why this car is pure desire on
wheels even before you look at the details. Black is used on this
car to up the intimidation factor. You see it used to outline the
power bulge in the hood; it looks like the proper GTX side scoops
are shooting black lasers down the entire side of the car; and the
tall rear wing covers the full width of the trunk. All this black
aggression and bright shine perfectly unite to finish this total
package on the iconic Mopar-style Mag wheels.
And because of all the black trim on the outside, this muscle
machine looks terrific no matter if the black electric folding roof
is in place or if you have the black interior open to the world.
The driver and passenger get high-back vinyl bucket seats that are
a nice reminder that the Plymouth Satellite was an all-day cruiser.
You even get a great upgrade to an AM/FM/CD stereo so you can
listen to modern music while enjoying your classic muscle machine.
The rest of the interior is correct and clean, which makes it all
feel like a 1970s time capsule. There's plenty of wood paneling on
the center console and dash, and the factory three-spoke steering
wheel is equal parts grippy and artful.
You've already seen those racing hood pins on the front of this
car, and what's under the hood earns this appearance. Power comes
from the biggest engine in Chrysler's stable, the feared 440
cubic-inch big block. It looks like a small fortune was spent
during restoration to make the monster V8 look like it belonged
under the hood since day one. Everything looks outstanding from the
big bold block, to the purple painted fender walls, to the Super
Commando air cleaner on top. It inhales deeply through an Edelbrock
four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with a ferocious growl
thanks to long tube headers feeding the thunderous dual exhaust.
But as powerful as this one is, it also has the right cruising
features like power steering, power brakes, and a Torqueflite
three-speed automatic transmission.
Complete with owner's manual, this is an amazing and artful tribute
that already utilizes an ultra-rare canvas. This is truly a
one-of-a-kind, so if miss it; you might never find something this
cool ever again. Call now!
