1970 Plymouth Hemi GTX. American Muscle
“The fastest way to your heart” — that was the original ad slogan for the Plymouth GTX back in the day. And it wasn’t just marketing hype. This was one of the most exhilarating platforms to emerge from Detroit during the golden era of massive V8s and scorched rubber.
Based on a far more restrained model, the GTX came alive with Chrysler’s legendary 426 Hemi engine under the hood, pumping out a formidable 425 horsepower. That made it one of the most coveted machines among Mopar enthusiasts — the loyal followers of Chrysler’s high-performance division.
But brute force wasn’t the whole story. The GTX offered a surprising dose of comfort: air conditioning, an automatic transmission, plush leather seats, and even a factory tachometer integrated into the dash.
Price tag: around $88,000.
