This 1968 Plymouth GTX is one of 506 GTX convertibles produced with a 440ci V8 and automatic transmission, finished in Burgundy Poly with a black convertible top over a black vinyl interior. Power is provided by the matching-numbers 440ci Super Commando V8 engine mated to an automatic transmission that was rebuilt in 2018. 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, Burgundy 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.
AUTOHUNTER ADMIN UPDATE 3/9/21 4:50PM MST: Videos of the car running and the top operating have been added.

@DannnyInNJ – What a beautiful restoration. The temptation to jump in on the bidding is overwhelming, but my wife would divorce me if I bought yet another late 60's Mopar B-body. All the garage space is taken anyway. But looking at this gorgeous girl brings up a thought: it's strange how the appeal of these cars has changed as my generation gets older and this one - with a slush box instead of a 4-speed - is a good example. When I was cruising the local park (it was a giant open circle, PERFECT for slow Saturday "show off" rides) we certainly looked down our noses at any car with an automatic or (gasp!) air conditioning. Now I see older (ahem; like me) guys snapping these up and we're putting in Vintage Air systems (not in this girl, as she's unmolested) and LOOKING for automatics for when the legs aren't what they were after a few hours of using the clutch. My son (24) isn't into these cars as he lacks the nostalgia factor that drives many of us. He'd rather talk Hellcats, Coyotes and now Godzilla. When I see these at coffee & cars it's overwhelmingly older folks. SO - just a passing thought. I'm sure there are plenty of folks out there with stronger legs than mine who'd dismiss this because of her trans, but I think it's funny that after spending my youth "dissing" the automatic cars, now I'm more attracted to them than the sticks. Come to think of it, maybe I should build another garage: this looks like a REALLY great car. ...
I have to agree with you. My as well is into the Hellcats etc. This is a beautiful car. She is as she was right off the showroom floor with all the original parts. I even had the radio restored with the 8 track working perfectly. So sorry you won't be able to take care of her as I'm hoping she finds a good caring home.

@MahneFrame – A video of the motor running with hood up and walk around to hear exhaust would compel some bids. I’m sure a video of power top going up and down would be equally compelling. ...
Thank you for contacting me. If you would like, send me your email and I will be more than happy to provide you a video.
