Award Winning Rotisserie Restored GTX Hardtop 426 HEMI V8 4-speed Dana 60 /// Purchased in 1988 by its restorer and current owner, this buff GTX was believed to be a tow vehicle for a Connecticut-based drag racer. The Plymouth was in good shape, given its great upkeep and paltry 23K miles, so the new owner quickly disassembled the car and shipped its body out for a full chemical strip. When that shell was deemed clean, a gentle glass beading process... was immediately followed with new lead seams, a new fender and a new quarter. And with the body solid, high quality DuPont aircraft primer laid a smooth foundation for glossy Black 2-stage that's infinitely more attractive than the car's original green hue. Under the hood, 426 cubic inch of Hemi V8 benefitted from a professional rebuild that was conducted by Washington, Iowa's Mid America Racing Engines. Behind that big-bore engine, a rugged A833 4-speed spins a powder-coated Dana axle that's finished with 4.10 gears and a Sure Grip differential. Naturally, the factory suspension has been completely restored to include correct manual steering. Stops are provided by two power-assisted calipers, professionally rebuilt by SSBC, and two power-assisted drums that, like the car's rotors, are NOS equipment. And at the corners, chrome Magnum 500s twist 7.75-14 Firestone Deluxe Champion redlines. Between the doors, correct bench and bucket seats frame an NOS Inland shifter. A Just Dashes restored dash seats NOS telemetry next to a Plymouth Transaudio radio. And in front of the driver, a classy steering wheel laps a big Sun Super Tach II. If you're looking for stylish, comfortable and reliable muscle that commands a lot of respect on the highway, and feels right at home at the show, this GTX is your next classic!
