This example that we offer for your consideration represents the
best of both worlds for the collector and enthusiast of Mopar
Muscle. With a history that has been traced back to its original
owner it was ordered at the start of the 1968 model year, the
original sales documents show the car was delivered on December 29,
1967, from Ernie Brown & Son Motors on York Road in Hatboro,
Pennsylvania, where the entire purchase price was $3,762.37. When
ordered all the right boxes were checked, TorqueFlite automatic
transmission, Sure-Grip rear axle, power steering and brakes with
discs up front, AM radio, in-dash tachometer, special padded center
seat and tinted glass all around.
The original owner moved to California in the early 1970s, bringing
this triple green GTX with him, and then kept this car for over 15
years before it was sold to the second owner in 1983. It remained
in California and Arizona until 2011 when it was acquired by an
owner in Texas before coming to its current owner in Minnesota a
few years ago.
In 1990, the second owner of the car applied a new coat of paint in
the original Avocado Green and did some other cosmetic freshening
of the car as well as mechanical and suspension work as needed to
keep this unique Plymouth roadworthy while paying strict attention
to authenticity. In 1994, noted Mopar expert Galen Govier was hired
to decode the vehicle and provided a complete report confirming the
original numbers matching drive train had the same major components
that it had been born with. Govier also noted that his research had
found no other 1968 Plymouth GTX convertible in the triple-green
color combination, making this a one-of-a-kind automobile. Since
the car's respray back in the 1990s, it has had some touch-up work
on the hood and tops of the front fenders, the paint still remains
in very presentable shape with some blemishes but still retains a
very nice luster as you can see in the pictures and video.
Today, this car is turn-key ready for the road, after all, that is
the very reason it was created. This beautiful example is fitted
with Magnum 500 wheels adorned with a set of Coker red-line tires,
and a full-size spare tire. Best of all is the paper trail that
comes with this car including the original order sheet detailing
the options selected and showing that this was a special ordered
car by the first owner. Also included is the actual invoice from
when the car was delivered. In addition to these important
documents is the original broadcast form, or build sheet, that had
been placed under the springs of the rear seat during the assembly
process, plus the factory warranty booklet and operator's manual.
In addition to these documents are the service records for the car
from the original owner and much more. One other important item is
the original fender tag detailing just how this car was built and
showing its rare TT1 Avocado Green paint code and trim scheme.
This car not only looks great but is a very strong driver. This
special order GTX is sure to be a heart stopper in a one-of-a-kind
fashion, leaving those who miss it... green with envy. give us a
