Vehicle Description
Intended as the luxurious yin to the inexpensive Roadrunner's yang,
the Plymouth GTX was every bit the muscle car that it appeared to
be. This eyeball-popping 1970 Plymouth GTX packs a numbers-matching
440, 400 miles on its restoration, awesome documentation, and a
long list of options that make it an A-list ride for any Mopar
fan.
Refinished in the original FJ5 Limelight Green, making it a
relatively rare beast, this gorgeous GTX's restoration was
completed just 400 miles ago. It's so shockingly clean underneath,
that it's hard to believe that it's all original sheetmetal, but by
starting with an ultra-clean original car, they only needed two
small patches in the lower quarters and a new tail panel. Those
massive quarters are straight and wave-free, the gaps are awfully
good, and the blackout hood treatment and white side stripes give
the big, green machine a nasty disposition. This is also an
original N96 Air Grabber car, adding to its uniqueness. The
original bumpers were re-chromed, not replaced, there are new HID
headlights, and all new glass to make it feel like you just drove
it out of the dealer's showroom in 1970. It is extremely
impressive.
The black bucket seat interior was freshened, but not totally
restored, giving you an idea of how clean this car really was.
There were a few split seams so replacement seat covers were
installed and things like the carpet and floor mats were replaced,
but otherwise that's a mostly original driver's compartment. The
gauges were all restored, including the Tic-Toc-Tac that was set up
to work with the electronic ignition system and the clock was
converted to quartz movement for reliability. The original steering
wheel was restored but all the chrome bezels, handles, and trim are
original and were just polished up and reinstalled. This one also
carries an original style AM/FM radio with an iPod/Bluetooth
interface, adding to the GTX's level of sophistication. In the
trunk there's a new mat and a full-sized spare tire with
date-code-correct jack assembly. And wow, this sucker is clean!
This car's biggest claim to fame is the matching-numbers U-code 440
cubic inch V8 under the hood. The guys at GAM engines built it to
run and tuned it on the dyno to the tune of 504 horsepower and 635
pounds of torque, and we have the dyno sheets to prove it. It uses
a few tricks like a set of Edelbrock aluminum heads painted to
match the block, a hidden MSD ignition system, and a rather healthy
cam inside. With only 400 miles since then, it has barely been
broken in and runs superbly. The engine bay is nicely detailed with
Hemi Orange paint, the aforementioned original restored Air Grabber
assembly, and a set of beautiful long-tube headers. Other important
details are the reproduction hoses and clamps, a new ballast
resistor on the firewall, and a reproduction red cap battery. The
727 TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic has also been rebuilt and carries
a shift improvement kit and TCI torque converter. In addition, it
now spins a bulletproof Dana 60 rear end, which was powdercoated
and filled with 3.54 gears and Dutchman axles. The floors are as
beautifully finished as the exterior bodywork, the exhaust system
is an absolute work of art, A full Hotchkiss suspension system,
Wilwood front disc brakes, and a new gas tank are just some of the
additional upgrades. Correct Rallye wheels wear a set of staggered
225/70/15 front and 275/60/15 rear BFGoodrich radials.

big block GTX with an unusual color combination and a dynamite
restoration that was built for combat. Call today!
