The GTX joined Plymouth’s lineup in 1967 as a “gentlemen’s muscle car” as it was a well-appointed performance machine, perhaps akin to the Buick Gran Sport. Based on the mid-size Satellite, it was redesigned in 1968 and had a budget-minded companion added to the mix, the Road Runner. The seller’s ’68 GTX is said to be a “true survivor” and looks as nice as they come. But it’s no garage queen at 90,000 miles. Located in North Vancouver, British Columbia, this Mopar is priced at $35,000 (USD?) here on craigslist. Tip provider “Curvette” is at it again!
GTX production ran for five years (1967 to 1971), then it became a high-end option on the Road Runner in 1972. Three generations were assembled (1967, 1968-70, 1971), so it may have been the most changed muscle car during its lifetime. Sales were a fraction of those of the Road Runner, peaking at just under 19,000 units in 1968 (compared to 44,600 RRs, which would peak a year later). A 440 cubic inch V8 was standard, so no less than 375 horsepower was at your disposal. An automatic transmission was also standard, but you could opt for a 4-speed instead,
We’re told this GTX is a survivor with original sheet metal. But nothing is said about the silver/green paint, and we’re unsure that it hasn’t been redone. The seller comes up short in the photos department, with only one of the two-tone interior (which looks great) and none of the engine compartment or trunk. Also, the box for body style was checked for “convertible,” which it is not.
But the engine, transmission, and rear end are numbers-matching. It has plenty of options, none of which include factory A/C. The Rally gauges include a tachometer, and you’ll get an FM signal on the factory radio when you get tired of AM talk radio. The vinyl top looks great, as do the sporty road wheels. The car has radial “tyres,” but the original Redlines will be included with the sale (for nostalgic reasons, I suppose). If you’re in the market for a GTX, it may be hard to find one nicer.
Look like the passenger side finder has been repainted,our maybe the door.
I would agree
That seems too low for this. High enough to attract a wishful thinker but well below what one would normally list for. Proceed with caution!
It sucks that the first thought when a car is reasonably priced or a good deal is that it’s a scam. If I lived close enough and was in the market I’d make an appointment to see it in person. There is no way I’d ever wire transfer a deposit. Hopefully the ad is real, if so it looks to be a pretty nice car.

I’ve never bought a car without putting eyes on it and the paperwork for it. When you contact a seller you are usually able to get an idea if they’re real and you can go from there.
Corvette, neither have I, but know people that have. If someone lives in an area where rust is common and pickings are slim, I could see them making a deposit on a car like this in order to hold it until they could arrange an inspection or see it in person.
I agree, most people that are shading the truth have certain tells.

That’s a pretty slammin’ deal if this is legit. It’s even worth dealing with the import issues
If this is honest and as advertised it will not last long.
I understand what everyone here is saying. What i don’t understand is 5 pictures. Are you teasing us with the lack of photos!!! No engine pictures. I would of had the max shots on the site. Oh i can dream having this and that Hurst 300. I would not need anything else 😂😂!! Since its up North country which is beautiful. Somebody better check this ride before buying. Oh here is a thought. Maybe the seller needs cash right away for something(Medical bills)and selling at this price will make it move. It’s beautiful and professional detail will make this paint pop. Good luck to the seller. 🇺🇸🐻
