1968 Plymouth GTX

The Plymouth GTX is an automobile introduced as the Belvedere GTX in 1967 by the Plymouth division. It was positioned as a mid-sized upscale-trimmed performance muscle car through the 1971 model year.

Chrysler introduced major changes in the design of the 1968 model Plymouth B=bodies and the GTX was given a completely new look. A new hourglass body replaced the previous rectilinear design. The high performance 440 was standard in the GTX as was the TorqueFlite automatic transmission, while it was an extra cost option in the Plymouth Road Runner. The GTX used the Sport Satellite trim and was offered in two body styles, two-door hardtop (no B-pillar). All featured dual horizontal "racing stripes" on the lower sides ending with a GTX emblem ahead of the rear wheel openings.

The GTX was positioned to be an upscale model of the Road Runner by adding elements of luxury to performance. This vehicle came in so we could take a look at the rear differential and diagnose why it is leaking. We will be taking a look at the brakes, clutch plate and inspecting the body harness. Finally, we will be replacing the window regulators.
