In 1965, Plymouth introduced the Satellite, a premium version of their redesigned Belvedere. Initially offered only in two-door styles, the Satellite quickly became their top of the line intermediate. But by 1967, they craved an even more upscale muscle car.
Enter the GTX. Sharing the two-door hardtop and convertible body styles of the Satellite, the GTX boasted a key difference under the hood. Unlike the Satellite’s diverse engine options that year, the GTX came standard with Chrysler’s mightiest V8s: the 440ci RB and the legendary 426ci Hemi.
This powerhouse status, coupled with its luxurious appointments, earned the GTX the nickname “the gentleman’s muscle car.” Its looks, however, could be tailored to reflect this duality. Take this stunning 1967 hardtop for example.
This stunning 1967 Plymouth GTX is a testament to meticulous restoration, boasting a Concours-ready condition that’s hard to match. Its bold yet elegant color scheme, featuring a creamy white interior and dark red accents, is a surprising departure from the typical GTX aesthetic, hinting at a Chrysler-inspired design.
Under the hood lies a powerful 440 cubic inch V8 engine, delivering 375 horsepower and mated to a TorqueFlite automatic transmission. This particular GTX, one of 11,277 produced with the 440 engine and one of 8,791 with an automatic transmission, is a numbers-matching example.
With its pristine condition and impressive performance, this classic Mopar is a rare find, valued at $85,998, a significant discount considering the estimated $150,000 cost to replicate such a restoration.
