Vehicle Description
Here's a 1968 Plymouth GTX tribute that was built to have
everything you want. This includes a great color combo, the best
GTX details, and a restored and upgraded interior. Plus, the engine
bay is exceptionally tidy because we all know you're going to want
to show off the mighty 440 V8 under the hood.
The GTX had plenty of muscle car bravado, but as a range-topping
Plymouth, it also liked to have a touch of premium flair. This one
gets that balance correct and the factory-correct Turbine Bronze
paint has the right metallic to give it a touch of precious metal
aura. Good chrome and tight body lines make for an impressive total
style. It's impressive without trying to make this feel like a
museum piece. After all, the point of a powerful tribute is to have
a car you can really drive. And there's an awesome muscle car style
that comes from its dark side. The hood is a full blackout affair
with a big air scoop that pays tribute to the A12 dragstrip kings.
And there's a clean look to the double rocker stripes that
highlight the GTX badging.
All the black accents on the outside are also a nice preview of the
inside. The first impression may just feel like 1968 all over again
with nice bench seats, smooth panels, detailed trim, and plush
carpeting. So it's nice to leave all the windows down on this
hardtop just so it's easy for others to get a good look at this
classic and quality presentation. But this one also has the right
well-placed upgrades. The wood-rimmed sports steering wheel and
column-mounted tach remind you this is a driver's car. There are
even provisions for air conditioning (it will need servicing) and
an AM/FM/CD stereo with Bluetooth to make this a comfortable
cruiser.
Power comes from the largest engine in Chrysler's stable, the 440
cubic-inch big block. This V8 was part of what made the GTX the
premium offering, and so it's terrific to have it in this well-done
tribute. The clean inner walls, polished accessories, and overall
tidy style make this look awesome. But what you'll really love is
the substance within it all. It has performance upgrades like an
Edelbrock AVS2 four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock Performer RPM
intake, and Hooker long tube headers feeding the dual exhaust and
Flowmaster mufflers. There are also nice supporting components,
like a serpentine belt system, upgraded pulleys, a custom bracket,
an MSD coil, and a Champion aluminum radiator with dual electric
fans. It makes for a strong powerhouse with a terrific growl. And
it's great to drive with a stout Torqueflite 727 three-speed
automatic transmission, Borgeson power steering box, newer rear
shock, and a newer power brake system with front discs.
Now you can really see how this is the GTX tribute that loves to
hit the streets. So if you want to enjoy power and poise, call
today!
