Built to be the gentleman’s muscle car, the 1970 Plymouth GTX offered performance, luxury, and presence—and this one brings all three in spades. Drenched in original FJ5 Limelight Green, a high-impact color that’s as bold today as it was back then, this fully restored GTX is a true Mopar masterpiece with only 400 miles on the build.
Under the hood lies a numbers-matching U-code 440ci V8, rebuilt by GAM Engines and dyno-tuned to a jaw-dropping 504 horsepower and 635 lb-ft of torque. Edelbrock aluminum heads (color-matched to factory spec), a hidden MSD ignition system, and long tube headers ensure this big block lives up to the “gentleman bruiser” legacy. The Air Grabber hood (N96) isn’t just a cool option—it’s fully functional and absolutely iconic.
The 727 TorqueFlite automatic is upgraded with a TCI torque converter and shift kit, and all that power feeds into a powder-coated Dana 60 rear end with 3.54 gears and Dutchman axles. It’s built to run, built to last, and built to impress.
Starting with an ultra-clean base, this GTX retains all original sheetmetal (minus minor patches and a new tail panel) and boasts laser-straight body lines. The blackout hood treatment, white side stripes, and Rallye wheels wrapped in staggered BFGoodrich radials give it that unmistakable Mopar swagger.
Underneath, you’ll find a Hotchkis suspension setup, Wilwood front disc brakes, and an artfully routed exhaust system that looks as good as it sounds. It’s finished to the same standard as the top side—absolutely no corners cut here.
Inside, the black bucket seat interior remains largely original, with new seat covers and carpet for a freshened but authentic look. The Tic Toc Tach has been calibrated for the electronic ignition, the original steering wheel was restored, and a quartz clock conversion keeps things reliable. The factory AM/FM radio now includes a Bluetooth interface, so you can cruise to your favorite tunes without losing that classic style.
In the trunk, a correct spare, mat, and date-coded jack show the attention to detail that went into this build.
This 1970 GTX is more than a pretty face—it’s a fully documented, exceptionally rare, numbers-matching Mopar with a professional-grade build and top-tier performance. A real-deal collector car that was born to run and built to win hearts.
Don’t miss your chance to own one of the most well-executed GTXs on the market. This Limelight green monster is ready to make a scene—are you?
