INTRODUCTION: This is a very special find, it really is! A genuine
426 Hemi GTX, one of only 312 factory built 4-speed cars, its
authenticity is verified by the VIN, original fender tag, and
original broadcast sheet. Beyond its rarity, this car checks every
box for desirability. It is finished in its drop dead gorgeous
factory color combination, equipped with its original 4-speed
transmission, Dana 60 rear end, front disc brakes, and white vinyl
top exactly as it was born. The rotisserie restoration was executed
to an exceptionally high standard in appearance and function,
exceeding expectations in both appearance and authenticity.
EXTERIOR: Forget for a moment that this is a Hemi 4-speed, the
exterior alone is enough to make this GTX stand out from the crowd.
The color combination is absolutely stunning! The body is
exceptionally clean, laser straight, and fits beautifully from end
to end. There is no evidence of rust, and the restoration quality
is evident in every panel. Repainted in its original dark metallic
blue, the finish is laid out evenly across the entire car and
polished to an incredible high gloss shine. It was born with a
white vinyl top, and the contrast creates a striking appearance
that draws attention. The chrome, stainless trim, and brightwork
are all shiny and beautifully restored, while the tail panel is
particularly impressive. Additional highlights include the fender
mounted turn signals, correct antenna, and pop up gas cap. Look
closely at the hood ornament and you'll even find the subtle "426"
callout, a reminder of what's waiting underneath. The door jambs
are clean, the weatherstrips have been replaced. It was originally
equipped with redline tires, it now rides on radial redlines for
improved drivability. They are mounted on gorgeous 15-inch Magnum
500 wheels that perfectly complete the look. Quite honestly, this
may be the best looking 1967 GTXs on the planet!
INTERIOR: The dark blue interior is a very appealing feature and
perfectly complements the exterior. It has a fresh, well restored
appearance throughout. The seats have been reupholstered and retain
excellent cushion and support, while the door panels have been
replaced and the painted metal trim has been refinished to match.
The blue carpet looks great and the headliner looks fresh. A center
console sits between the seats and proudly houses the original
4-speed shifter, the centerpiece of any Hemi GTX interior. It is
also equipped with blue seat belts front and rear. The entire dash
area is clean, original, and unmodified, right down to the factory
radio and original clock.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Under the hood is where the legend lives! The
entire engine compartment has been restored to appear just as it
did when it rolled off the assembly line. At its heart is the
original numbers matching 426 Hemi, professionally built with
internal performance upgrades that increase output to an impressive
481 horsepower and 525 lb-ft of torque. It was balanced and Dyno
tested, complete specs are included. Despite the added power, this
beast remains surprisingly civilized. It idles smoothly, drives
easily in traffic, and can even cruise through a fast food drive
thru without complaint (I did it). Press the accelerator, however,
and when all eight barrels open up, you'll quickly understand why
the Hemi became a legend. The appearance remains remarkably stock
and authentic. The correct dual four-barrel carburetors have been
rebuilt, and it retains the proper chrome air cleaner and crinkle
finish valve covers. Every detail has been attended to, from the
routing of the wires and hoses to the functional windshield
squirters. It features a correct Mopar radiator with the proper
shroud, clean wiring, hood insulation, and power brakes. The entire
engine bay is finished in glossy body color blue and presents
beautifully. Adding to its authenticity, the core support retains
the matching identification number corresponding to the original
fender tag. This engine compartment s so nice I don't think it
could be improved upon!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is finished entirely in the same beautiful
gloss blue as the exterior. It's clean metal, detailed, and
complete with a reproduction trunk mat, fresh weatherstrip, and the
proper jack assembly.
UNDERSIDE: The restoration quality becomes even more impressive
once you look underneath. This GTX was placed on a rotisserie and
restored to show quality factory specs. The floors and frame rails
are absolutely pristine, correctly finished in factory-style gray
primer with the proper blue body color overspray, just as Plymouth
originally built them. The steering and suspension systems have
been completely rebuilt including a rebuilt steering box,
reconditioned springs and correct shocks. It is also highly
detailed, in fact, the underside is so fresh it doesn't even show
road grime. 1967 was the first year disc brakes were available and
this car was born with them according to the original fender tag.
The brake system has been fully restored including the emergency
brake assembly. It retains a factory-correct dual exhaust system
right down to the correct #s on the mufflers and correct chrome
exhaust tips. The fuel system has also been completely renewed.
Looking up at the drivetrain, everything remains spotless. The Hemi
engine's casting codes are clearly visible. The factory HEMI
4-speed transmission is equally impressive, displaying the proper
casting numbers and markings. Out back is the heavy-duty Dana 60
rear end that came with the 4-speed cars, equipped with desirable
3.54 Sure-Grip gears. From the flawless floors to the authentic
drivetrain components, the underside of this GTX is every bit as
impressive as the top side!

it's a car you can enjoy driving, admire in your garage. You can
also take pride in knowing that it is most likely a 1 of 1 and it's
your's, nobody else's. With its outstanding colors, options, and
pedigree, this GTX is as much a blue-chip investment as it is an
unforgettable muscle car!
