Gentleman’s Muscle Car: 1969 Plymouth GTX

The Dodge Coronet, Dodge Charger, Plymouth Road Runner, and Plymouth GTX are all very similar cars in many ways, but each had its own place in the market. The GTX model was offered with more and “better” options than the others, so as to be perceived as a “gentleman’s muscle car,” much in the way the AMC Marlins of the mid-60s were marketed. This is a fast performance vehicle that was designed to have a somewhat classier feel than some of its counterparts, and the black on black color scheme really makes that feature stand out on this car. As with any Mopar muscle car of the era, the GTX could be had in a variety of combinations. This particular car is a 440 4-speed vehicle with a Six Pack/Six Barrel carburetor and intake. Presented here on eBay by the dealer Vintage Car Collector in California, this GTX seems like a good buy at the asking price of $32,000 but could perhaps be had for less. 

The interior of this GTX has everything a young man of the era was looking for in a muscle car: bucket seats and a 4-speed manual shifter. Though this is certainly no Cadillac, the GTX interiors always had a slightly more refined feel than did the Coronets and Road Runners. It is unclear in the listing whether or not this car has been restored, but if it has been it wasn’t anytime recently. Original or not, the interior is in great condition and this is a top-level driver-quality vehicle.

Many Mopar high-performance 440s of the era came equipped with a “Six Pack,” which is like GM’s “Tri Power” in that both setups utilize three 2-barrel carburetors to maximize power and fuel intake. Though generically referred to as Six Packs, around this time Plymouth was marketing it as Six Barrel and Dodge was using the Six Pack nomenclature. Admittedly, the Six Pack sticker looks a lot cooler than the Six Barrel sticker! This is a running and driving vehicle that should be ready to hit the streets.

There is no B-body Mopar that doesn’t have good body lines. This GTX is subtle in its gloss black paint, but there is no mistaking it for anything but a Chrysler product. Note the GTX tail panel and tail light trim, a detail that helped set this apart from its other Plymouth and Dodge counterparts. Regarding the condition of the body, the seller states “Body is very nice for all original panels. Floors, trunk are very solid. Fenders are clean. Firewall frame all look great.” For $32,000, a B-body in all original sheet metal is a good buy! As beautiful as these cars are, rust took many of them away long before their time. This appears to be an all-around solid driver and reasonably priced from a reputable dealer.

      You could buy a heck of a lot nicer new car for that price with a warranty, reliability, handling, and better over all comfort. Your wife would like it too, plus, if you couldn’t scratch up the cash for this one, your friendly banker would give you a loan…that wouldn’t happen here. I could get a new Civic Si for 2/3 this price that would leave this in the dust, esp. around the curves. (and that is coming from a life long Mopar man, though recently have come to respect many other brands. Good thing too, Chrysler is on Hospice Care, soon to join that great junkyard of automotive history)

        I’d go with a Civic Type-R for a little less than this. I’d get better performance and I’d be able to drive it everyday and get decent gas mileage. But then, I’m Special Ed in 2018 economics, where people throw cash around like chump change. I look at some of these ads with a blank expression and a slight overbite.

        This said, this car and a new Honda Civic do not compete for the same market. Also, in a world where a rusty 1972 Chevelle SS with an automatic and a low compression 402 that didn’t even run brought almost 24 thousand, this is actually kind of a bargain, in that world.

        Supperdessucke, you are correct, these price seem insane, but present economics negates reality for most of us. Who actually buys these things at these prices? Do they work by the hour? Do they “share the wealth” around a little, or do they suck it all up for themselves and to heck with the 99%. But, with that said, I do have a soft spot for these cars, not that they are good cars in the modern sense, just because I had one as a youth and it might bring back some memories. Though, I would never pay this kind of money for nostalgia. I guess without these stupid prices, this sight wouldn’t be here for us to gawk (and that is all I need), so perhaps it is okay.

BTW, I have owned both one of these and the so unadmired Civic, I know what my opinion is about which is the all around best choice. WE have to be careful about not limiting speech here on this site lest we turn into another similar site that has become simply a place to sell expensive cars.

    You are correct XMA, the Steering Wheel is an aftermarket, and a nice factory one would look much better IMO. Steve is also correct on the Six-pack option for 69. I am curious though if the Intake is a Edelbrock Aluminum or Factory Cast Iron. If everything checks out, it is a good buy at 32K. Black on black is a great color combo.

    Like 0
    • Avatar TriPowerVette

      @Gunner – The aluminum manifolds were only on the early (’69) cars. By 1970, Chrysler took production in-house. Since in-house meant they had to work with what they knew, they cast them up out of good ol’ iron. ALL of my 440 Six Packs(1970 ‘Cuda, 1970 and 1971 Super Bee) had iron intakes.

      Even though this is not an original, I can’t imagine that the constructor didn’t use the aluminum version (since it was correct for this year only – if not model).

    I don’t know about a “Gentleman’s” muscle car, that would be more like a 454 Monte Carlo, the GTX, I figured, was for some kid who bamboozled the old man into the fancy package, and didn’t know, you could get a similarly equipped Roadrunner for a lot less. Neat looking car, but again, just a gussied up Satellite, and by no means, a Monte Carlo. Not too long ago, every Mopar like this was 6 figures (and some still are), maybe we’ve ( finally) turned a corner with these.

How much would you pay for an updated Omni or TC3 ? If they could sell them for 10 or 12 grand, what an alternative to the used car market?

      @Troy s – Until now, I have avoided this particular aspect of the muscle discussion on multiple threads, but the fact is that there were so-called ‘luxury’ as well as ‘racer’ versions of the muscle offerings from almost every manufacturer.

      The various ‘hot’ Cougars, 390, 428, Boss, etc… were considered the ‘Gentleman’s’ alternative to the corresponding Mustang. Likewise, Mercury offerings contrasted to those of Ford.

      The AMC Rebel ‘Machine’ was considered the ‘Gentleman’s’ alternative to the AMX, Javelin, and SSC Rambler.

      The entire Buick Division was considered the ‘Gentleman’s’ offerings, relative to their Chevy and Pontiac variants. Oldsmobile was the wild card, as they tried to shed the ‘stodgy’ image with which Buick was indelibly saddled, with their ‘Dr. Oldsmobile’ campaign.

      Dodges were seen as the ‘Gentleman’s’ alternative to the more rowdy Plymouths. Within each, there were sup-groups that corresponded to the same formula: For Plymouth (example) the GTX / Road Runner contrast. For Dodge: the R/T Charger / Coronet vs. Super Bee.

      For that matter: The Aston Martin is often referred to as the Gentleman’s Jaguar.

      The bottom line is: the term ‘Gentleman’s’ applied to the (often) heavier, more well-optioned, more civilized version of that Maker’s / Division’s offerings.

      Let’s hope there is no more silly discussion about the exact model that represented one or another’s so-called ‘Gentleman’s’ offerings.

      @Mark J. Soderberg – The carbs were virtually identical to those on the Tri-Power Corvettes. Tri-Power equipped which also had A/C and/or Automatics included a ‘Fast-Idle Solenoid’ to mess with as well (on both Mopar as well as Chevy – solenoid was the same, but the brackets were different).

      Everything you said brings back memories. You can’t see, but I’m smiling.

      My friend’s father was the comptroller for the project that built the Corvette plant in Kentucky. When the plant was complete, the General Manager of the plant gave him two ‘Corvette’ jackets, one for my friend and one for me (because he knew we both had Corvettes – I had talked my friend into buying a ’65 396 Convertible, and I had a ’69 427 Tri-Power, A/C, 4-speed, convertible).

      I was VERY proud of that jacket and wore it a lot.

      One night, I was cruising down Scottsdale Road at Indian School, when the car suddenly caught fire! Right in the intersection! I whipped it over, popped the hood, and saw that fuel was leaking from the line onto the intake. Momentarily, I tried to decide how best to fight the fire. Then, instinctively, I ripped my treasured jacket off and began to pound at the flames. It NEVER OCCURRED TO ME TO JUST LET IT BURN!

      There were two gas stations, one on each corner, and quite a crowd was gathering, to watch. As they stood there, mouths open and dumb to the event unfolding in front of their eyes, I began screaming for somebody to get a fire extinguisher. At last, ONE attendant finally un-froze and (thankfully) came rushing over to quickly put out the blaze.

      After thanking him for his (eventual) action, I began to take stock while waiting for the tow truck. No fiberglass had been hurt. We would later determine that the carbs and lines were undamaged as well. In fact, all that was required for re-commissioning to active duty was a general under hood cleanup, re-tightening of the fuel line, some miscellaneous and (of course) wiring.

      But my prized article of clothing, my Corvette jacket, given in appreciation by the General Manager of the Corvette plant to my friend’s father, had given it’s all in saving a Corvette from certain doom. There it lay, in smouldering tatters.

      The moment was poetic.

    I have followed MOPAR awhile and what many here say of comparison to f’n Hondas, makes me wonder if they forgot or ever experienced the cruise scene, except in mom and Dads Honda, Toyota’s,and Subaru, while the big boys pounded the pavements, making them spill their 7 Ups and Sprites.
    For a blast from past, kept in just great drivers shape for years of fun driving, your rice burners will always be ho hum in ten years, and this GTX will be worth more than 40K.

      They didn’t, EVER. That’s two guys who wandered onto this site who were looking for an investor website. NOBODY ever compared Hondas and MOPARS. The 4 cylinder super charger little bugs do NOTHING to a man who knows what a Hemi sound is like when it revs up before mashing the gas and slamming gears. It is like heaven to a gear head. Those 4 bangers sound like an irritant.

      No, the rice burners will have the value, us old timers are who keep these cars values up, but when WE are under ground, so goes the values. Besides, soon there will be no petrol, only electric cars, how much are they worth then?

    The closest mishap i have had with my R/T. After getting tthe motor in the car and everything (I thought) hooked up. Fired up on 3rd crank, with the hood and air cleaner off, around the block I went!
    1/2 way around my finger tight compression fitting for my oIL gauge popped off! Pulled back in the drive with a thin shiny coat of oil overy the entire engine compartment and half the car! No damage, but a whooooole bunch of elbow grease! note to self, double, no triple check your work!

    Dang gentlemen! Can’t we please just all get along? No one’s opinion here trumps someone else’s. I truly appreciate all the knowledge that is shared by everyone on Barn Finds.

    And what does a haphazard napkin sketch by Picasso fetch these days?

    My uncle had a 69 GTX 440/auto. He bought I new and was always garage kept. It was the forest green hard top. The only things he changed was the factory mag wheels. For some reason he didn’t like them. He sold it in 1991 for $6k. Only flaw I remember was a crack in the dash from sitting in the parking lot while at work. I wished I had the money then to have bought it.
