In Episode 50 of ‘Cars, Shops & Collections’ we visit Tony Thomas the owner of a spectacular 1970 Plymouth GTX!
We first met Tony in E49 of CSC. Tony is a long time of friend of Las Vegas Car Builder Doug Reynolds and has been working on Doug’s cars for years. In this episode Tony shares his favorite build; his own 1970 Plymouth GTX.
What makes this a 1-of-1 Plymouth GTX? Tony drops a cool little fact about the color scheme of this GTX that makes it extra special! Also in this episode Tony introduces us to his daughter Jenna who is following in her father’s footsteps and has begun building incredible cars.
We wrap up this episode with a ride-along in Tony's GTX!

I like this video. I am in the process of restoring my 1970 GTX. 440-6 air grabber hood. 727 automatic with 3:23 8 3/4 rear. I have owned the car since 1981. It has been in my garage and off the road since 1991. Engine is rebuilt and I have already put new shocks on all four corners. Total rebuilt front end and all 4 of the drum brakes rebuilt and lined. I have all the interior pieces but the seat covers. I am just waiting on the 2800 stall converter and a high torque mini starter. I think I should be driving it by mid summer. This is inspiring to watch. What a beautiful GTX.

@@CarsShopsAndCollections I wish I did live close. But I am on the east coast Kannapolis NC. I finished a 1970 Challenger 10 years ago. I drive it weekly. It only needs a few more things to completely finish it. But are you really ever finished. I have done a few projects in my garage. A 1986 Conquest TSI with a 2jz transplant. One of my sons cars. Also my other son, we put a Maxima V-6 into his Altima. I just finished a 1991 Stealth R/T and installed a Twin Turbo j spec motor. Front wheel drive TT. I also had a posi transaxle put in this car. Runs pretty good. So last year I started the process of restoring my GTX. Guy’s gotta stay busy, right. I have pics of most of these projects. Just let me know if you want to take a peek?

A GTX is a “luxury Roadrunner” for those who wanted a premium muscle car. Base GTX is a 440, lots of chrome, buckets and console. Could not get a 383. Six pack or hemi and other options were available.

What a nice and rare car. Plymouth Division only made 76 Hemi GTX cars in 1970. 43 of them were 4 speed cars and 33 of them were auto trans cars. Oh ya I forgot... I own one of the Hemi auto trans cars... Pretty much in show room condition with mostly original components that are in perfect shape.

Really fantastic episode and a stunning car! That Plymouth looks incredibly tough. Tony did a great job! As for the "GTX" name, according to Jack Smith (manager of Plymouth's product planning group) it was only a business decision. They couldn't use GTO, so they came up with GTX🙂 That "X" is just a letter. Overall the car is called as Gentleman's Muscle Car or Gentleman's Hot Rod. But some designations are worth it. For example "Great Tiger Exterminator"😄 But I call it "Gee Tyrannosaurus reX"😉

Watching this video brought back memories. The year, 1973. The problem, ARAB OIL EMBARGO. End result, I failed to buy the GTX. An independent owner had the vehicle for sale. Black, on Black, On Black. It also had Gold reflective stripes. Bench seat, Pistol Grip, 440, Magnum 500 wheels. Test drove it 3 times. Price of gasoline was the stumbling block. Oh well, if we all had crystal balls life would be easy, boring but easy. The car and owner were domiciled in Dunmore, PA.
