Vehicle Description
We call this a 1967 Plymouth GTX tribute, but really, it's so much
more. Because while it has the look of a rare and famous muscle
car, underneath the skin are terrific restomod upgrades, like the
A/C interior, Bluetooth radio, performance suspension, four-wheel
disc brakes, five-speed, and fuel-injection on the big 440 V8. It's
all part of an impressive package that's also exceptionally fresh
with less than 2k miles on the full build.
This was the first year of the GTX, and a Belvedere II can make a
convincing tribute. First, the golden paint perfectly showcases the
attitude Plymouth was aiming to deliver. After all, the GTX wanted
to be both premium and bold. And not only did they invest big in
the paint, but you can tell they took their time with the body
before the first drop of gold went down. Straight panels like this
are essential because of some of the features that were only in the
GTX in 1967. For example, the full-length side trim needs
well-fitting doors to have a nearly seamless style. And the hardtop
roof has a well-defined cantilever form that only looks right when
it's accompanied by crisply creased sheet metal. Dual hood scoops,
big/bright bumpers, and large dual exhaust tips are the right
GTX-level muscle car intimidation. And while the wheels have a
similar style to Mopar Road wheels, they are really modern 18-inch
alloys. But they look quite incognito because the modern tires even
have the classic redline style. It's all part of a thoughtfully
assembled total package.
The black vinyl interior pairs well with the bright gold on the
outside. These were midsize muscle cars of the day, but that
designation in the 1960s means full-size comfort today. So there's
plenty of room to have family and friends spreading out across the
dual bench seats. In fact, this coupe was built to keep everyone
happy with well-integrated upgrades like cold-blowing air
conditioning and a retro-style radio that's an AM/FM digital tuner
with Bluetooth. But you don't need anyone else along for the ride
to have fun in this Plymouth. It feels like a driver's car from the
moment you grab the factory three-spoke wheel. Beyond that is a
clear gauge package, as well as cleanly installed auxiliary
readouts - including a very handy tach. And have you counted the
gears on the shifter yet?
The reason why you upgrade to a GTX is not that you want to add
premium style or features. Those are nice, but the GTX name means
you have serious 440 cubic-inch Super Commando power under the
hood. The inner walls of the engine bay look quite clean to remind
you there was a recent restoration, and the dark style in the
middle reminds you of its power. We're told this mighty Mopar
powerhouse was rebuilt with an aggressive cam. It also has
Edelbrock Performer aluminum heads, an Edelbrock intake, and
headers feeding the dual exhaust. Plus, it's topped with a FiTech
electronic fuel injection system for the best in power and
consistency. There are also good supporting components, like the
MSD ignition, Mopar Performance finned valve covers, dual electric
fans, and the battery moved to the trunk for better weight
distribution. You are in firm command of this pure power package
thanks to an upgrade to a Tremec five-speed manual transmission.
And as you look underneath, you can see this has the components to
really give you confident control. This includes an upgraded QA1
front end, a thick rear sway bar, power steering, four-wheel power
disc brakes, and grippy Toyo Proxes tires.
There is a cleanliness to this restomod, right down to the
undercarriage and trunk. It tells you that this mean street machine
was thoughtfully built over every inch. That's what makes it
premium, powerful, and absolutely irresistible. Call today!!!
