Visit adkclassics.com to view full photos and details. Rarity & Historical Significance In 1968, Plymouth reimagined its muscle car lineup with the introduction of the Road Runner, but the GTX remained the flagship, reserved for buyers who demanded the ultimate. That year, only 217 GTX 2-door hardtops were equipped with the 426 Hemi and four-speed combination, making surviving examples extraordinarily rare. This is a genuine J-code car, meaning the Hemi engine was factory-ordered from the factory build sheet, a true numbers-correct, authentic piece of American automotive history. Exterior Finished in stunning QQ1 Bright Blue Metallic, this GTX commands attention at every show, cruise, and stoplight. The white interior provides a striking contrast that highlights the factory color combination beautifully. GTX-specific chrome trim, the special cast rear tail panel plate, and discreet chrome accents are all present and accounted for. The car rides on factory-correct 15-inch Magnum 500 wheels wrapped in red line tires, exactly as it appeared when it rolled off the line in 1968. Hemi callout badges on the hood blister inserts and rear deck edge leave no question as to what's under the hood. Engine & Drivetrain Under the hood sits the correct 426 Hemi V8. one of the most celebrated American performance engines ever built. The Hemi arrives equipped as factory-intended with dual 4-barrel carburetors, race-bred bottom end internals, a solid-lifter valvetrain, an extreme-duty 26-inch radiator, and the iconic chrome air cleaner assembly. Backing it is the heavy-duty A833 4-speed manual transmission, feeding power to a Sure-Grip Dana 60 rear axle with 3.54 gearing, a drivetrain combination purpose-built for serious performance. Interior & Options Inside, this GTX is loaded with period-correct performance appointments including bucket seats, a premium steering wheel, a 150 MPH speedometer, and an in-dash tachometer. Additional factory options include power steering, heavy-duty brakes, and Hemi-specific suspension components, all the essentials that made the GTX the top-of-the-line choice for serious muscle car buyers. Investment & Collectibility Genuine Hemi GTX examples are among the most sought-after collector cars in the hobby. With a production figure of just 217 four-speed Hemi GTX hardtops for 1968, and an ever-shrinking pool of documented survivors, this car represents a rare opportunity for the serious Mopar collector. Hemi B-body values have continued to appreciate steadily, and examples of this quality and provenance rarely come to market.
