The 1970 Plymouth GTX stands out as a rarity in the classic car world, retaining its original factory paint despite over five decades of racing. Owned since 1973, this GTX boasts the distinctive FJ5 Limelight finish it received upon leaving the factory.

Not only does it retain its original paint, but this GTX is also notable for its rarity and early production status, being one of the first 1970 models built and finished in Limelight. Additionally, it is one of only 478 GTXs to feature this unique hue.

Despite its extensive drag racing history, the GTX remarkably maintains its original glass and trim, with only the drivetrain being modified for racing purposes. Purchased without its original engine and transmission due to a prior theft incident, the GTX remains a testament to its owner’s dedication and luck in avoiding major accidents on the drag strip.

With its impressive quarter-mile performance and unique history, this 1970 Plymouth GTX continues to captivate enthusiasts and collectors alike.
