It is possible for a classic car to be both beautiful and brutal, and this 1967 Plymouth GTX would seem to prove this. Its presentation is not perfect, but it is certainly good enough to attract plenty of the right sort of attention wherever it goes. The fact that the owner has 375hp at their disposal means that this is a car that performs as well as it looks. It is an original survivor that comes complete with a significant collection of paperwork to verify its authenticity and is ready to go to a new home. Located in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, the Plymouth has been listed for sale here on eBay. With bidding at $30,300, the reserve on this great classic has not been met.

When it was released in 1967, the GTX was termed  the “gentleman’s muscle car.”  It possessed all of the attributes of a traditional muscle car but brought a touch of luxury to the table. This particular car, which is finished in Silver with a Black vinyl top, presents extremely well. It received a repaint around 30-years-ago, but a recent wet sand and buff have it shining beautifully once again. The owner states that it does have a few minor chips and marks, but these would appear to be insignificant. The exterior trim and chrome seem flawless, while the original tinted glass appears to be free of any noticeable defects. The GTX wore some unique features to help differentiate it from a “garden-variety” Belvedere in 1967. These included fiberglass simulated hood scoops, a unique rear fascia, and a really cool “pop-open” fuel filler cap. All of these are still present and are in good condition.

Ordering a GTX in 1967 brought potential owners only two engine choices, but neither of these could be considered to be bad. For those who had a desire to own a car that would scare them silly, they could order the 425hp version of the 426ci Hemi. For those seeking something (very) slightly more conservative, there was always the 440ci Super Commando V8. This beauty pumped out 375hp, which was generally enough to keep most people happy. In this case, what we find is the 440, along with a 3-speed TorqueFlite transmission, power steering, and power brakes. Performance could be considered to be more than adequate, with the GTX capable of accelerating from 0-60mph in 6.2 seconds, while the ¼ mile could be despatched in 14.3 seconds. The owner describes this GTX as an original survivor but doesn’t specifically state whether it is a numbers-matching car. However, I would interpret his claim as meaning that it is. The car has been in storage for a while, but has been given a thorough check, and is back in a roadworthy state. Unfortunately, he doesn’t enlighten us about how well the car runs and drives, but if appearances count for anything, then it should be pretty good. Included with the GTX is the original Certi-Card, along with paperwork from Galen Govier. Given the fact that he states that the Plymouth has covered a genuine 55,000 miles, you have to hope that he also holds paperwork to verify this claim.

For me, the interior of the Plymouth is something of a mixed bag. The upholstered surfaces look to be really nice, with no signs of any rips, splits, or seam separations. The console is in good order, and the same would appear to be true of the dash. What really stands out to me though, is just how badly the carpet seems to fit on the driver’s side. I find that to be enormously distracting, as well as being extremely disappointing in an interior of this caliber. It would be easy to fix, which makes me wonder why the owner hasn’t done that on a car that is this desirable and clean. Leave that issue out of the equation, and this is an interior that needs nothing. Looking around, it features the correct 150mph speedometer, while the tachometer is in its rightful place on the console. In addition, the GTX features factory air conditioning that is said to blow cold, along with a “Transaudio” AM radio.

It is possible today to go out and score yourself a 1967 Plymouth GTX for less than $30,000, but if you do, it will almost certainly be a car that will need work. Or it will be a car that is not completely original. Or even more likely, it will possess both of these attributes. A realistic starting point for an original car with the same specifications as this one would be around $35,000. From there, the sky is essentially the limits. This looks to be a nice classic that would attract plenty of attention, and if it checks out as being as clean and solid as the owner contends, then someone could find themselves owning a really special car.
