The Plymouth GTX was introduced in 1967. It was a performance machine that had reliability and a standard 440 cubic-inch V8 engine offering 375 horsepower. It was based on Plymouth's two-door Belvedere hardtop and convertible, with subtle performance cues such as a special grille and tail panel, simulated hood scoops and a 'pit stop' chrome gas cap.
The GTX was updated in 1969 from all the updates to the intermediate Belvedere line that year as well as well as a heavy duty battery, exhaust trumpets, red or white reflective stripes, a performance cam, big valve and ports, a heavy-duty Torqueflite transmission and heavy-duty underpinnings.
This 1969 Plymouth GTX has been in the same ownership for 28 years before it was acquired by the current owner in the mid-2000s. There is a 440 cubic-inch V8 engine mated to an automatic transmission and produces about 375 horsepower. There were only about 700 GTX Convertibles built for 1969, as compared to nearly 15,000 GTX Coupes. There are options such as power steering, power brakes, factory AM/FM radio, Air Grabber hood and a factory tachometer.
In 2009, it was offered for sale at the Vintage Motor Cars of Meadow Brook presented by RM Auctions. It was estimated to sell for $50,000 - $75,000 and offered without reserve. The lot was sold for the sum of $33,550 including buyer's premium. | |
