Vehicle Description
This 1970 GTX was ordered new and highly optioned in 1970 and is
featured in a Hemmings Muscle Machine Car article in the 2018 March
issue. This GTX came from the factory powered by a 440ci Six-Barrel
engine mated to an A833 4-speed manual transmission, and the Super
Track Pack option that included a 4.10-geared Dana 60 rear end.
Unlike the stripped-down Road Runner, the GTX bordered more on the
personal luxury coupe market, with bucket seats, deluxe vinyl
interior, front and rear armrests and body-side tape stripes. The
GTX came with a beefier suspension, dual exhaust, wider tires,
150-mph speedometer, the maximum cooling package (bigger radiator
and related fan), power brakes with front disc and the
driver-controlled pop-up Air Grabber fresh-air intake. The 4-speed
manual brought with it the new Hurst pistol-grip shiftier, and the
Lime Light high-impact paint over white vinyl appearance easily
lets the GTX stand out. This GTX was documented by the Galen
Registry on October 22, 2012, as one-of-one with these colors and
options from the factory when the car was registered in the
database. The car underwent a complete restoration. It has had the
same owner for over 40 years and has only been run in two Veterans
Day parades each year in western Pennsylvania.
