I was 17 when this car was new, and my friends and I drooled all over these! It seemed like everyone had a story about a mysterious GTX, cleaning the clocks of every muscle car who thought he was the big dog! Great memories and great cars!!!!

@lancehardy5808 Год назад

As always Mr. Steve well done.... You are a man of great knowledge...... Thanks

Yup, with the VIN, you'll always win: R for Belvedere, S for Special price class (including GTX), 23 for two-door hardtop, L for 440 V8 with four barrel, high performance, 8 for 1968 model year, A for Lynch Road, Detroit MI assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Lynch Road plant opened in 1928 and closed in April 1981. It was located at 6334 Lynch Road in Detroit, MI. The last cars to be assembled there were the "R body" cars (St. Regis/New Yorker/Newport/Gran Fury/5th Ave, etc.). Crown Group is located on the property and is a powder coating business that supports the automotive industry. Yes, Chrome Green Metallic exterior paint, code "G".

My uncle had a silver one with dark vinyl top, and a column shifter. It took some heavy foot pressure on the brake pedal to stop the car. The 375 hp rating was more like 400, or higher. What impressed me most was the wide power band; this car was powerful from low to high end.

@robertclark9 Год назад

Nice to see the stock exhaust manifolds still present. These 440’s were no joke right out of the lot. I had a 70 GTX 440 auto stock back in ‘75. There weren’t a lot of cars that could run away from it. I could pull 90mph out of second gear.

@MrRLB3 Год назад

I had a 69 383 magnum out of a wrecked superbee that could pull 85 mph in first gear in 72 satellite Sebring plus rally package with a 727 B auto trans and 2,45 Daytona high speed differential !

I never understood why Chrysler division wouldn't put power brakes on these cars. The drum brakes were horrible. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing on this car. I love the GTX.

@Fleetwoodjohn Год назад

They were optional. While I don’t have any personal experience with manual drums I’ve heard they worked fine unless you were coming down a mountain. Typically GTX and R/T cars had larger 11” drums vs typical 10’s.

@patrickwayne3701 Год назад

The 11" drums even w/o power assist had ALLOT of woa power,, they just didn't have repeatability under high speed or heavy load, like going down steep grades. But you're right,,, once you went up to the GTX,, you kinda expect power assisted discs... the great thing, is that swapping in factory knuckles is not all that hard if you research the job and get the right parts from a donor car.

@robertclark9 Год назад

Me either. I had a ‘70 440 auto bone stock with 41k mi. Never touched it. It was a beast! It wasn’t the fastest car out there, but not many could run away from it.

@Paul-fe4vl Год назад

My old GTX had power disc brakes on it. My NOW 68 GTX has power brakes, but drum not disc. I'd like to convert to power discs, but want to leave it stock as it's a survivor and all original.

@ta392srtchallenger5 Год назад

@@ronclaman156pontiac's 400 had nothing on the 440. GTO's were great cars and I love every year. Unless a person did not know how to drive or they did not know how to tune their vehicle the 440's were a force to be reckoned with. When Pontiac came out with the 455 that to some degree even the score. But then Dodge and Plymouth were pushing the 440+6. 3 Holly 2 barrel 500 cfm carbs = 1,500 cfm. Every manufacturer had their bad-ass rides. If you checked off the right order blocks you could make yourself one hell of a car out of the 4 manufacturers.

@erickriebel4366 3 месяца назад

These were awesome cars back then and I think they were completely underestimated and underappreciated especially the Hemi models but now if you want one and it is in Factory fresh mint condition you're going to pay a pretty penny to get one but they're still worth getting cuz they are going to go over a million dollars just like the very special Corvettes special 4/29 Boss Mustangs they're going to be right up there with them

@jamesmisener3006 Год назад

It would be so much more interesting to know the price on these rides. HOC website doesn't seem to have it. Iam not calling them everytime iam curious and some of other sites are now posting the prices on their websites. I've been around a long time and people definitely buy cars spontaneously and the price clearly listed is sometimes less than they think. Just a thought. Really nice GTX. The condition you want to buy one in. Cheers 🇨🇦

Steve, we love your content. My husband was an old school Mopar dealer technician. What is the opening music piece in this video? Thank you and keep up the great video content🙂

@shawnturbeville994 Год назад

I agree. My dad had a 69 Road Runner and my uncle had a 68 GTX. They would take them out on empty long roads and turn them loose. They would stop good about three or four times at 100 plus mph runs then they would fade away. Both of them had to replace

@shawnturbeville994 Год назад

brake pads three or for times in a short period of time. That's why so many people were killed in these cars. By the way, dad's Road Runner would stay right beside the GTX for about an 1/8 mile then the GTX would walk away.

@gteefxr3094 Год назад

Do you have any traceable evidence of the high number of people killed in these cars?

@shawnturbeville994 Год назад

@@gteefxr3094 I was a young kid back then. My dad and uncle personally knew people that were killed in high speed fatalities involving muscle cars. They would not stop or handle as good as they would run. Plus a young man who is 18 or 19 thinks he is invincible. I know I went through it myself. I had a 1970 340 Duster in my early 20s. There were a few crazy things I did in the car where I could have easily been killed. Why do you think insurance rates were one of the things that led to the demise of the muscle car? Don't get me wrong, I love the muscle cars as much as anyone but they don't handle or stop like cars do today.
