1968 Plymouth GTX 2-Door Hardtop for sale! Motorcar Classics is proud to present this stellar example of Mopar muscle at its peak, beautifully finished in its factory-correct Surf Turquoise Metallic paint (Code LL1) with a matching Surf Turquoise roof and sharp black upper inner door frames.
Built on January 26, 1968, this high-performance machine retains its original, numbers-matching "Super Commando" 440 cubic inch V8 engine block, factory-rated at a potent 375 horsepower. While the foundational block remains original to the car, it has been tastefully enhanced for modern drivability and optimal breathing with upgraded aluminum heads and a high-performance aftermarket carburetor. The brute big-block power is sent through a heavy-duty TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic transmission back to an 8.75-inch rear differential spinning a highway-friendly 3.23 gear ratio. Inside, the cabin is well-appointed with upscale black vinyl bucket seats (Code S6X), while a correct 26-inch performance radiator keeps everything running cool. Riding on classic redline nylon tires, this highly documented, fully decoded GTX represents a rare and incredibly pure window into the golden age of American performance.
Introduced as the "Gentleman's Muscle Car," the Plymouth GTX holds immense historical significance as Chrysler's premier executive-tier performance model, blending raw track-ready power with upscale luxury trim. Unlike standard stripped-down racers of the era, the GTX came standard with the massive 440 Super Commando engine, ensuring it was an elite performer right out of the box. Today, its collectability is exceptionally high among Mopar enthusiasts, and the presence of its original engine block drastically preserves its pedigree. Standard, solid paint configurations in vibrant, highly sought-after period-correct colors like Surf Turquoise Metallic without a vinyl top are exceedingly rare, making this highly optioned hardtop an investment-grade cornerstone for any serious muscle car collection. Your inspection is invited!
