1970 Plymouth GTX: The Gentleman’s Muscle Car

The 1970 Plymouth GTX was a powerful and refined addition to the muscle car era, blending aggressive performance with upscale touches.

Known as “The Gentleman’s Muscle Car,” the GTX offered bold styling, robust engines, and comfort features that set it apart from its peers.

Here’s a closer look at the 1970 GTX and its standing in today’s collector market.

Bold Design with Luxury Touches

The 1970 Plymouth GTX underwent a styling refresh that gave it a more aggressive and streamlined look. Its split grille, sculpted body lines, and optional Air Grabber hood made a statement on the road. The GTX also featured refined details like chrome accents and optional vinyl tops, emphasizing its dual role as a muscle car and a luxurious cruiser. Unique GTX badging and bold color options like Lemon Twist and Moulin Rouge added to its eye-catching appeal.

Comfortable Interior

Inside, the GTX offered a balance of performance and luxury. Bucket seats, a center console, and wood-grain trim were standard, while optional features included air conditioning, AM/FM radios, and power windows. These upscale touches made the GTX a standout among muscle cars, appealing to buyers who wanted performance without sacrificing comfort.

Performance Powerhouses

Under the hood, the 1970 GTX delivered serious power. It came standard with a 440-cubic-inch Super Commando V8 producing 375 horsepower. For those seeking even more performance, Plymouth offered two formidable upgrades:

440 Six-Pack: Three two-barrel carburetors boosted output to 390 horsepower.

426 HEMI: The legendary HEMI engine generated 425 horsepower, making the GTX a beast on the drag strip.

Buyers could pair these engines with a three-speed automatic or a four-speed manual transmission. Heavy-duty suspension, power brakes, and optional rear axle ratios further enhanced the GTX’s performance capabilities.
