1967 Plymouth GTX
The Plymouth GTX was introduced in 1967 as Plymouth's big-inch performance model for the muscle car market. Based on a two-door Belvedere hardtop and convertible, the "new" GTX came equipped with simulated hood scoops, a special grille and tail panel, and "pit stop" chrome gas cap.
Optional was: Twin racing stripes and Disc brakes. Standard was a luxury interior with bucket seats, embossed vinyl, and lots of bright metal. The "new" GTX also boasted excellent handling, with standard six-leaf rear springs, heavy duty shocks, torsion bars, and ball joints.
Vital to the creation of the GTX, Plymouth made a variety of engines available. Including the mighty 440 cid V8 (which Plymouth called the "Super Commando 440") rated at 375 bhp standard, MOPAR's mighty 426 Hemi, rated at 425 bhp and a "Rare" R023 GTX "Super Stock" version
