Vehicle Description
You're looking at a true Mopar dream machine. This is a 1970
Plymouth GTX that's factory-correct inside and out, and even has
it's original 440 big block under the hood. And when you can take
control of this fully restored beauty with the four-speed stick,
you know you've found muscle car heaven.
Take time to appreciate all the investment that went into restoring
this GTX. Straight lines are especially critical on Mopar's iconic
block B-body cars, because while these were the midsize offering,
the stylists knew how to give them the look of unflinching
full-size authority. But the sheetmetal is only part of the story.
Burnt Orange Metallic was on Plymouth's color pallet in 1970, but
it never looked this good from the factory. There has been an
investment in a modern metallic paint, and a professional hand
applying it. So, now all the subtle creases of the bodywork really
pop when the sunlight hits this super-straight coupe. And the only
think that shines brighter are the extra-wide mirror-like bumpers.
But more than just a fantastic vintage presentation, this is one
intimidating muscle machine. It came directly from the factory with
aggressive features like the optional hood pins, those large side
scoops, black triple-stripe package, and that big, bad Air Grabber
hood scoop that rises up and looks like it wants to consume all the
lesser cars as it chargers up from behind.
When you have a pillarless hardtop like this, you know you're going
to love cruising with all the windows down. That's why it's also
great to have the interior match the exterior color so nicely. The
driver and passenger get high back vinyl bucket seats with a
comfortable center console in-between. The rest of the interior is
fresh and clean, which makes it all feel like a 1970s time capsule.
In fact, the restoration is so complete, even the AM radio and key
buzzer are working! The wood paneling matches the burnt orange
color quite nicely, and everything from the heat/defrost controls
to the three-spoke steering wheel has the right vintage feeling.
All of these are a great reminder that the upper-level GTX was a
true gentleman's coupe. But just to make sure you never are in
doubt that this is a true muscle machine, the full Rallye gauge
panel w/large tach and the iconic Hurst pistol-grip shifter are
there to get your heart racing even before you twist the key and
hear the rumble.
Power comes from the biggest engine in Chrysler's stable, the
feared 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 like a small fortune was spent returning the engine bay to
factory-correct status alone. Everything looks outstanding from the
big bold block, to the Super Commando air cleaner with correct
diaphragm to seal it to the hood. This monster motor inhales deeply
through a four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with a ferocious
growl thanks to Hooker Competition headers feeding the H-pipe dual
exhaust. You'll love the full control the four-speed gives you over
this big V8 and its thunderous soundtrack. And grip is even well in
hand thanks to front disc brakes and Cooper Cobra tires on those
iconic Mopar Mag wheels.
The sale comes compete with the restoration photobook, so you can
share with others the journey of how this rare classic was
resurrected to look so factory fresh. Plymouth built less than
1,500 examples of these serious muscle machine GTXs like this one,
and we bet it will be near impossible to find one this complete
ever again. So don't miss an opportunity of a lifetime, call
today!
