This 1968 Plymouth GTX is finished in Burgandy Poly with a black convertible top over a black vinyl interior. Power is provided by a 440ci Super Commando V8 engine mated to an automatic transmission that was rebuilt in 2018. Built at the St. Louis, Missouri plant, it is one of 506 GTX convertibles equipped with a 440ci V8 and automatic transmission. Equipment includes the Hemi Suspension Package, power steering, and power front disc brakes. Located in Long Beach, California, this GTX is being offered with a Chrysler Registry report, supporting maintenance invoices, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in its original color, Burgandy Poly (code RR-1) and features double horizontal black graphics along the lower panels that end in GTX chrome trim. The hood blister is finished in satin black, with “440” badges on both sides, while chrome lip moldings adorn the wheel well arches. The power-operated convertible top is equipped with a glass rear window and is free of any rips or tears. Additional features include fender-mounted turn indicators, dual side-view mirrors, dual exhaust with chrome tips, and a black vinyl boot cover for when the top is retracted.
Factory 14" Magnum 500 wheels are wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial T/A white letter tires measuring 225/70. This GTX is equipped with the Hemi Suspension Package, power front brakes, and power steering.
The interior features embossed black bucket seats with matching door panels and carpeting and is equipped with a center console. Simulated walnut wood trim adorns the dash and door panels. A refurbished am radio with 8 track player is fitted in the factory location and is fully operational, with additional speakers added in the rear side panels.
A three-spoke steering wheel with a center horn button frames the instrument cluster and includes voltage, fuel, and temperature gauges, as well as a 120 mph speedometer. The 5-digit odometer currently reads 5,734, though true mileage is unknown.
The matching-numbers 440ci V8 is original to the car and was factory rated at 375 hp. It retains many of its factory original components such as the Carter 4 bbl carburetor, cast iron exhaust manifolds, and 22" radiator. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 727 Torqueflight automatic transmission that was rebuilt in 2018 with a 3.23 Sure Grip rear end.
Additional photos showing the underside are provided in the gallery.
The sale includes various maintenance records and a copy of the Chrysler Registry report from Galen Govier.

@Terlingua_1960 – Are there any issues with the convertible top? Is it functioning correctly? ...
There are no issues with the top. It works fine. Everything on this car works including the radio and 8 track. It was restored. The only thing you will have to do to this car is keep her with fuel. She's always thirsty. ;-)

@TFassuliotis – In the photos it looks like the paint color has a rusty or copper hue to it. The code is a burgundy. Is it a deeper color and a true burgundy ? Many thanks. Thomas ...
Hello, Thank you for contacting me regarding the color of the car, it is a true burgundy. The photoshoot was taken on a very sunny day and I can see your concern. I think it might be partly the bright sun on the car. But it is the true factory color. If you send me your email I can send you some other pictures I took that show the beautiful color of the car. I hope that helps. Alan
