1971 Plymouth GTX

No one would argue the fact that the Plymouth 'Super Bird' is a very rare MOPAR. However, this 1971 Plymouth GTX is also a very rare bird. Muscle cars were at their peak in the late 60's/early 70's and this Plymouth GTX was one of Chrysler's strongest. Based on the redesigned 'B body' platform and fitted with a powerful big-block drivetrain, this Plymouth was a perfect example of MOPAR muscle. This GTX is said to be a '1 of 1'- the only GTX finished in 'In-Violet Purple' and delivered as an 'Export Only' vehicle.

This GTX was the beneficiary of a full rotisserie restoration by High-Octane Restorations of Savanna, GA. The exterior was carefully prepped and resprayed in CF-7 'In-Violet Purple' (more commonly known as 'Plum Crazy' from the Dodge line-up). Accents include a black vinyl top, blacked out 'Air-Grabber' hood and black side stripes. Factory MOPAR rally-style wheels mount Goodyear Polyglas F70x14 bias ply tires – there's a memory. A fully restored bucket seat black vinyl interior is in excellent condition. There is a console w/Slap-Shifter, new carpeting, new seat belts and headliner. Windows are tinted and the factory AM radio has been reconditioned along with new front/rear OEM speakers and an original cassette tape player w/dictation microphone. A period-correct aftermarket Audiovox FM-Convertor has also been installed.

The entire numbers-matching drivetrain (engine/trans/diff) was rebuilt in 2021 - everything restored to factory specs. Horsepower is provided by the 440ci 'Wedge” that is equipped with a single Carter AFB 4-bbl carburetor (original rebuilt carb) and optional 'Air-Grabber' intake package. Every detail has been addressed including inspections marks and paint dabs and most components are date-coded correct. Factory gross output of the 440 was rated at 370bhp w/480 lb/ft of torque. It is backed by a Chrysler 727 TorqueFlite HD automatic transmission and a MOPAR 8-3/4” Suretrac differential w/3.23:1 gears. The chassis is fitted with manual steering and manual 4-wheel drum brakes w/dual master. Our GTX strikes a nice stance with torsion bar front suspension with HD front sway bar. The Accurate Exhaust Products system sounds great and looks perfect with red insert exhaust tips.
