For Sale: 1969 Plymouth GTX in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1969 Plymouth GTX Hardtop

"The GTX remained basically the same in 1969 and 1970. There was little need to change the car from a performance perspective. It was the car to beat. Changes were relegated to grill and rear end updates." Thx autoappraisalnetwork.com

For consignment, a 1969 Plymouth GTX hardtop showing 53,545 miles, but the true miles are unknown. About 10,000 miles ago, the 440 was rebuilt along with the transmission and a new starter and battery were added.

Exterior
Code B5, Blue Fire Metallic, adorns this GTX, now in two stage application, accented by broad flat black stripes that cover most of the hood, crossing over the gap and including the power bulges which are vented in red and branded with 440 emblems. There are few cars with a meaner face, the dual headlights wide and glaring on either side of the red lined grille over a straight chrome bumper. Black will reappear on the rocker panels and the rear quarters wear the badge that boldly proclaims this car's identity, large enough to see by those you pass. Then of course, you get to see the tail, a pair of simple tail lights outside of a wide deck lid and square rear fascia and in profile, this car takes aerodynamics and spits in its face. The wind stands no chance against the GTX, and if Chuck Norris was a muscle car, he'd be a GTX. 14-inch Mopar Road wheels are just right, rocking letters out tires, and blend well with that lower black panel. Imperfections are few with a chip, and a few bubbles in the paint.

Interior
Attractive black inner doors include a woodgrain panel with matching black grains and a black vinyl door pull with silver hardware and they're just about picture perfect. Tall back black grain vinyl bucket seats reside in the front with a horizontal stitched pattern and they're in great shape continuing to the back bench where we note a pair of speakers mounted to the package shelf. Back in front, a 3 spoke steering wheel sharing its column with a shift light and leading to a horizontal gauge cluster, and a speedometer that saves space and weight by not including zeros, so that 15 at the end translates to 150 mph. The original AM/FM is in the dash while an updated unit with CD is mounted underneath along with some extra gauges. Wood applique continues throughout the dash and onto the center console where the Hurst shifter awaits. Black loop carpet below, black headliner and shoulder belts above, all in great shape. A rust free trunk includes a vinyl plaid mat and spare tire. We note some broken foam on the dash pad.

Drivetrain
Under the hood, clean and accented in orange, is a period correct and rebuilt 440ci V8 with a six pack carburetor set up and it's mated to a period correct A833 4-speed manual transmission that routes power to the correct Dana 60 axle with 3.54 gears and SureGrip.

Undercarriage
Clean driver quality underneath meaning it shows use but is not overloaded with grease, oil, or rust of any kind. We note some residual fluid on the transmission, but dry conditions elsewhere. Our dual exhaust travels through FlowMaster mufflers before exiting through muscular, oval chrome tips. Drum brakes are at all four wheels and suspension consists of torsion bars in front and leaf springs in the rear.

Drive-Ability
The world is full of Mopar B-body fans, and some of them work at Classic Auto Mall! So it is with envy we watch our test driver take this one around the loop where the 440 delivers legendary power and each sip of the inboard two barrel becomes a gulp when the other two carbs are added! The car tracks straight, handles well, and stops on demand. We note the tachometer does not read properly and the factory radio is not working. No deal breakers here! All other functions operate as they should and we bring this blue beauty back to the mall. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

This one checks all the boxes for the iconic Mopar muscle car and from the factory, the fender tag is a mile long with just about every feature and option afforded the GTX. With spectacular blue paint and a clean interior, this represents a turnkey experience even Disney can't deliver. This is the ultimate E-ticket ride!
