Vehicle Description
In the history of American muscle cars, the Plymouth GTX has been
overshadowed by its less expensive stable mate, the Plymouth Road
Runner. Actually the GTX packed the same performance but was
positioned in the market place as a luxury hot rod. Today the basic
Road Runner is better known and the GTX is more difficult to find
but shares the same basic body style.
This large and impressive 2-door hardtop is equipped with the basic
but powerful 440 cu. in. "Super Commando" V8 engine. Off the line
the Super Commando could beat a Hemi until the Hemi's cam kicked
in. That "Super Commando" engine was something else again, turning
0-60 mph in 5.8 seconds and do the quarter mile in 13.7
seconds.
While this car is better appointed than most muscle cars of the
period, it still exhibits the wild styling popular with these
big-engined beasts. The spectacular paint job is in Plum Crazy
Purple and the immaculate interior is in white with bucket seats.
This is one gorgeous car and a model you won't see often on the
streets or at the car shows where it should be an award winner.
Estimate: $50,000 - $60,000
