1968 PLYMOUTH GTX WITH 440 SUPER COMMANDO ENGINE AND 727 TRANSMISSION
This car has been in my collection since 1988. It is all original. It had one repaint before I purchased it. Otherwise, this is an all original car. This car has not been restored. It has its original interior and engine bay. It runs and drives well. It is a gem of a great collectible muscle car. Turns heads wherever I take her. There is no rust on this car. I purchased the car from a collector in CA in 1988. It has been rarely driven and always stored indoors.
In 1968, the Plymouth GTX gained a few styling changes including a new hood design with different non-functional hood vents, a new grille, and revised taillights. Available in a Hardtop or Convertible, the GTX still shared a Belvedere body. The upscale GTX came standard with a 440 Super Commando with 375 hp, and had the mighty 426 Hemi as the only engine option.
Serious racers loved the Hemi, but only 450 GTXs (414 hardtops and 36 convertibles) were ordered with the $564 option. The 440 was easier to tune, and churned out a surplus of low-end torque, which was more useable on the street, than the rev-happy Hemi. Overall, the GTX was a true gentleman's super car.
Chrysler worked hard to position the Plymouth GTX as a luxurious, high-performance alternative to the inexpensive muscle cars that everyone else was selling.
Not only was it equipped with all the pavement-twisting horsepower you could get in more basic models, it also featured a ton of luxury options that could be added to create one-of-a-kind vehicles which would suit any car buyers taste.
On top of all that variety, the GTX also got an extra dose of sound deadening materials and an upscale look to its interior appointments, making it truly a gentleman’s hot rod.
