Vehicle Description
A 1968 Plymouth GTX that's factory-correct inside and out, and even
has it original 440 big block under the hood?! Oh yes, this
low-numbers Mopar is just as unique and special as you think. Just
check out the interior!
The GTX was the gentleman's muscle car. Many people were not
willing to go to the expense of premium rapid transit, and instead
opted for its Road Runner sibling. Today that makes the GTX one of
the most respected and rare Mopars around, so you are already going
to gain gawkers from far across the car show field. As they get
closer, the compliments will start with the paintwork; and you'll
be able to tell them it's a professional respray of the
factory-correct F-code Forest Green. They'll start to admire the
details like the pristine brightwork, complete badging, black vinyl
roof with coordinating dual side stripes, optional Magnum 500
wheels, and redline tires. That's when you open the door and knock
their socks with the interior.
The sea of green continues inside with a factory-correct two tone
that is one of the most amazing patterns you will ever see. The
appearance and the level of restoration/preservation will win
awards on its own. Almost everything you can see or touch feels
like it's 1968 all over again, including the seat covers, door
panels, and carpets. There's hints of wood paneling on the doors,
dashboard and three-spoke sports steering wheel, which makes this
feel like driving a mean green forest. Besides just the extra wide
speedometer, the driver gets a full gauge setup that includes
temperature and ammeter. This is a complete package right down to
the factory AM radio. But honestly, the radio is secondary to the
rumbling soundtrack you create with your right foot.
Power comes from the biggest engine in Chrysler's stable, the
venerable 440 cubic-inch big block. The V8 is original to this GTX,
which should make you weak in the knees thinking about the rarity.
It looks very business-like under the hood, with Chrysler Blue
paint on the block and that big Super Commando air cleaner up top,
which hides an upgraded Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor. This one
shows signs of the kind of proper maintenance worthy of a valuable
muscle car. So when you twist the key and hear the dual exhaust,
don't just enjoy the throaty rumble... also check out its path.
Even the undercarriage is super clean and carries the green and
black appearance of the rest of this coupe. But just because it
looks this good doesn't mean it's not begging for Sunday drives.
Power steering, the Torqueflite 727 three-speed automatic, and
power brakes give this a fine presence on the road.
Plymouth made less than 18,000 of these hardtops in '68. How many
do you think are this nice and factory correct nearly a half a
century later? Don't take to long to answer that question, because
you know an exceptional Mopar like this will be gone soon. Call
