Details

This 1970 GTX was ordered new and highly optioned in 1970 and is featured in a Hemmings Muscle Machine Car article in the 2018 March issue. This GTX came from the factory powered by a 440ci Six-Barrel engine mated to an A833 4-speed manual transmission, and the Super Track Pack option that included a 4.10-geared Dana 60 rear end. Unlike the stripped-down Road Runner, the GTX bordered more on the personal luxury coupe market, with bucket seats, deluxe vinyl interior, front and rear armrests and body-side tape stripes. The GTX came with a beefier suspension, dual exhaust, wider tires, 150-mph speedometer, the maximum cooling package (bigger radiator and related fan), power brakes with front disc and the driver-controlled pop-up Air Grabber fresh-air intake. The 4-speed manual brought with it the new Hurst pistol-grip shiftier, and the Lime Light high-impact paint over white vinyl appearance easily lets the GTX stand out. This GTX was documented by the Galen Registry on October 22, 2012, as one-of-one with these colors and options from the factory when the car was registered in the database. The car underwent a complete restoration. It has had the same owner for over 40 years and has only been run in two Veterans Day parades each year in western Pennsylvania.
