When Plymouth introduced the Belvedere-based GTX in 1967, few people knew that it would be a one-year-only model. The badge remained on sale the following year, featuring an entirely new body sharing no sheetmetal with its predecessor. This ’67 GTX presents superbly following a recent restoration, and features a 440ci V8 under the hood. It needs nothing but a new home, and I must say a big thank you to Barn Finder Curvette for spotting the Plymouth listed here on eBay in Lakeland, Florida. Bidding sits below the reserve at $25,200 as the auction heads into its final day.

Plymouth introduced the Belvedere GTX in 1967 as its entry into the mid-size muscle car market segment. The company aimed to perfectly combine outright performance with comfort, pitching the GTX to more affluent customers in its marketing literature. It would remain on sale in this form for one year before a dramatically restyled GTX hit showroom floors in 1968. The seller indicates that this Plymouth is a restored classic, and the lack of significant cosmetic flaws suggests it hasn’t seen much use since the restoration. Its Bright Blue Metallic paint, contrasted by dazzling White stripes, looks stunning. The depth of color and shine is super impressive, and the consistency of the panel gaps suggests that the builder focused on fine details. Scrutinizing the listing images reveals no evidence of rust, and the plated components appear to be in as-new condition. Rounding out the exterior are crystal clear glass and Magnum 500 wheels wrapped in Redline tires.

This Plymouth’s interior is quite interesting. The company marketed the GTX as a perfect blend of performance and luxury, and this car’s bucket seats, console, and woodgrain wheel support that. However, it doesn’t feature any genuine creature comforts. There is no air conditioning, power windows, and the new owner doesn’t even receive a radio. What they get for their money is a beautifully clean interior trimmed in White vinyl. There are no visible stains or wear on the trim or carpet, and the dash appears to show only minor scratching and wear on the gauge fascia black surfaces. Actually, I feel that the winning bidder probably won’t want a radio when they can revel in the tune being belted out by the beast under the hood.

Plymouth offered ’67 GTX buyers a choice of two engines to power their new toy. Those with the cash could specify the legendary 426ci Hemi, but it is fair to say there was nothing wrong with the 440ci “Super Commando” V8, which served as the entry-level powerplant. That year’s Sales Brochure quoted power and torque figures of 375hp and 480 ft/lbs, confirming the badge’s muscle car credentials. This car features the 440, teamed with a three-speed TorqueFlite transmission. The seller confirms that the Plymouth isn’t numbers-matching, with the engine date-coded as a 1969 version. They don’t supply any information regarding the car’s mechanical condition, but this is a case where a picture is worth a thousand words. They provide this YouTube video of the car in action. It is slightly long, but it gives a comprehensive walkaround. The V8 sounds sweet and strong, and the GTX drives with no apparent issues.

The current new car market is quite confusing. Most manufacturers now appear to be focusing on electrifying their model ranges, and a complete transition to battery power seemed inevitable until very recently. However, Governments that previously seemed prepared to entirely ban the sale of new cars with internal combustion engines appear to be backtracking slightly. Whether that means that there is a future for genuine muscle cars is unclear, but I suspect that what we are seeing may only be a temporary reprieve. Therefore, it has become crucial to preserve classics, because they may eventually be the only link to raw performance. This 1967 Plymouth GTX could be ideal for that role, and the listing statistics suggest that people are interested in this beauty. If you have a passion for Mopar muscle, are you tempted to make a play for this mighty Plymouth?
