Cruisin Classics is very excited to present to you this stunning 1971 Plymouth GTX that just rolled into our showroom. This was the last year for the GTX as a stand-alone model and only 2,942 were produced, making this a pretty rare Mopar. This GTX proudly wears all original sheet metal and is dressed in a high driver quality respray of its original color – Lemon Twist (FY1). This GTX sports a working factory-ordered Air Grabber hood (N96) with a matte black bulge area around the intake and hood pins to keep it down. The loop-type chrome front bumper makes an immediate impression and it's accentuated by dual black chin spoilers beneath. The GTX badge at the center of the grill is in excellent condition, as is the Plymouth logo directly above the grille ahead of the hood. On top of the fenders are turn signal indicators for the driver and on the sides of the fenders are 440 decals above the side marker lights. There is plenty of quality brightwork to catch the eye on this GTX, with gleaming window trim, drip rail moldings, dual chrome side mirrors, wheel lip molding, ribbed rocker molding, chrome door handles, and big GTX badges behind the doors on the rear quarters. This car still sports its originally ordered black accent stripes (V7X) that follow the curves of the lower body lines from bumper to bumper. The roof wears a black vinyl top (V1X) that is in impeccable condition, and it really ties together all of the black accents on the exterior. Black touches continue around the back with a matte black gull-wing spoiler on the decklid. The decklid also wears a bright red GTX decal on its lower right side. The rear bumper has integrated taillights and it's just as brilliant as the one up front. Sticking out from below the lower rear valence is a set of correct slotted chrome exhaust tips (N42) that really add to the cool look of the rear end. This whole amazing package has an aggressive stance as it sits atop chrome 5-spoke Cragar SS wheels wrapped in white letter BF Goodrich Radial T/A's.
Pull the pins and lift the hood to find a clean and stock-looking engine bay with an original trim tag on the driver's side fender well. At the center is a bright orange non-numbers matching 1972 440ci V-8 topped with orange valve covers, a '72 intake manifold, a Carter AVS 4-barrel carburetor, and an orange air cleaner with a “Super Commando 440” decal on it. Other highlights include Chrysler electronic ignition, power steering, and power brakes (front disc & rear drum). Exhaust flows through factory HP manifolds and factory dual exhaust before exiting those cool tips in the rear with a heavenly rumble. The big V-8 is mated to a number matching Chrysler 727 Torqueflite 3-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the wheels via an 8 ¾” Chrysler rear end with 3.23:1 positraction gears. Take a peak under the car to find an exceptionally clean undercarriage, a newer gas tank, and stock extra heavy-duty suspension components.
Open the driver's door to find a beautiful black interior with woodgrain accents illuminated by a working dome and dash courtesy lights. The formal black door panels feature woodgrain trim, decorative medallions, and a driver's side mirror toggle. The premium black vinyl bucket seats and center “buddy seat” are in excellent condition with no rips or tears, and the same is true of the rear bench. Woodgrain trim decorates the gauge bezel and the passenger side of the crack-free black dash. The gauge cluster includes a 150mph speedometer and gauges for gas, alt, oil pressure, and temperature. The hidden 3-speed wipers function as they should, as does the original Chrysler solid-state AM push-button radio. To the left of the driver are simple controls for the heat & fan and a factory switch beneath the dash that operates the Air Grabber hood. Under the upper lip of the dash is a factory rear-speaker fader knob. Open the glovebox to find that it too has a working courtesy light. Directly ahead of the driver is a black 3-spoke OEM steering wheel with more woodgrain trim and a working horn. Just behind the wheel on the column is the shifter for the automatic transmission. Underfoot is a newer black carpet with carpeted GTX logo floormats while overhead is a tight black vinyl headliner. Back in the trunk, you'll find a vinyl mat, a full spare tire, and a jack.
Whether you're looking for a classic Mopar or just a cool muscle car, this GTX is going to get your heart pumping! This beauty is one of the last great American muscle cars of its era, and a rare one at that! There are two things you can count on when you get behind the wheel of this GTX – you're going to have a smile on your face and you're going to turn heads everywhere you go!
