The Plymouth GTX was maybe THE true heavyweight in the muscle automotive world. From 1967-71, the mighty Mopar got here outfitted with an ordinary 440 Super Commando when many automobiles got here commonplace with engines 40 cubic-inches much less. Horsepower was 375 (370 in 1971), which no producer might match besides with non-obligatory engines. That’s why, in commercials, the GTX was referred to as “The Boss.” And in case you encountered a pesky Brand X automotive on the native pike, there all the time was the 426 Hemi.
So, what would occur in case you took the GTX and introduced it to up to date requirements? Horsepower Northwest has the reply. They took a 1971 GTX (which was redesigned that yr) and stuffed a 630-horsepower 8.4-liter Viper V10 between the entrance wheels and paired it with a TREMEC T56 Magnum six-speed handbook. Other fashionable tweaks embody a totally welded chassis with Baer disc brakes on all 4 corners, plus a set of customized satin bronze Boze Alloy wheels with 18-inchers up entrance and 19-inchers out again.
All that is wrapped up in basic Mopar Fuselage goodness, together with throwback F8 inexperienced paint complemented by a tan and black inside. Horsepower Northwest calls it “GTX-R.” Drooling but? If not, you’ll when you’re finished with the above AutoHunter Cinema video.
