Vehicle Description
You're looking at a true Mopar dream machine. This is a 1970
Plymouth GTX that's factory-correct inside and out, and has a
mildly built 440 big block under the hood while the included #'s
matching 440 stays safe. So when you see a combination of rarity,
beauty, and power, you know you've found muscle car heaven.
Take time to appreciate everything this GTX offers. The straight
lines are especially critical on Mopar's iconic block B-body cars,
because while these were the midsize offering, the stylists knew
how to give them the look of unflinching full-size authority. But
the sheet metal is only part of the story. Bright Blue Metallic was
on Plymouth's color pallet in 1970, but it never looked this good
from the factory. There has been an investment in a modern metallic
paint, and a professional hand applying it. So, now all the subtle
creases of the bodywork really pop when the sunlight hits this
super-straight coupe. The only thing that shines brighter are the
extra-wide mirror-like bumpers and iconic Mag wheels with classic
Goodyear Polyglas tires. As a true muscle machine, it came directly
from the factory with aggressive features like the power bulge hood
and those large side scoops. And as a GTX this is not only sporty,
but premium, too, so this one had options like the black vinyl roof
that so nicely matches the exterior striping package.
When you have a pillarless hardtop like this, you know you're going
to love cruising with all the windows down. That's why it's also
great to have the interior coordinate with the black vinyl roof for
a full uniform presentation. The driver and passenger get high back
vinyl bucket seats with a comfortable center console in-between.
The rest of the interior is fresh and clean, which makes it all
feel like a 1970s time capsule. The wood paneling matches the black
color quite nicely, and all of this is a great reminder that the
upper-level GTX was a true gentleman's coupe. And the new Dakota
Digital gauges, do their part to add freshness to the interior
without being overbearing. By the way, the original cluster comes
with the car.
Power comes from the biggest engine in Chrysler's stable, the
feared 440 cubic-inch big block. The original V8 was rated at 375
hp by the factory should make you weak in the knees thinking about
the inclusion and the rarity. The replacement motor has been mildly
built for a little extra umph when you want it. Everything looks
outstanding from the big bold block, to the Super Commando air
topper. This monster motor inhales deeply through a Holley
four-barrel carburetor feeding an Edelbrock Performer intake
manifold and it exhales with a ferocious growl thanks to the
aftermarket headers and stainless H-pipe dual exhaust. The
Torqueflite A727 three-speed automatic transmission is stout enough
to handle the extra power when it's time to unleash the big block's
fury, and it's also calm enough for everyday cruising. The same
goes for the power steering, power brakes, and front end sway bar
to create a fine anytime package.
Plymouth built less than 1,500 examples of these serious muscle
machine GTXs in 1970 like this one, and we bet it will be near
impossible to find one this complete ever again. So don't miss an
opportunity of a lifetime, call today!
