The Plymouth GTX is often referred to as the gentleman's muscle car all due to the fact that it possesses the sleekness and the suaveness of a true gentleman. Even though muscle cars were first thought to be rugged and brute, the GTX was more of the refined class. Maintaining the same platform to that of the Belvedere, the GTX sported a much slimmer body and a rounded one as compared with its initial release that appeared to be a little body and blunt on the edges.

This muscle car was introduced in 1967 and it was considered as a performance machine with a standard 440 cubic inch V8 engine, reliability and 375 horsepower. In 1969, the Plymouth GTX was restructured from all the renovations to the intermediate Belvedere line, exhaust trumpets, a performance cam, heavy duty battery, white or red reflective stripes, a tough underpinnings, huge valve and ports and durable Torqueflite transmission.

With the Plymouth GTX, this muscle car appeared in a 2-door convertible design as well as a 2-door hardtop class. This entire look had made many people turn their heads over the sleek details of the vehicle and even when they stopped producing these cars, they were still well thought of by consumers.

An unfortunate turn marked Plymouth's staying power in 1971 due to the government's heed for lower fuel emissions in cars. A lot of muscle cars suffered during this time and it was a big reason this once popular car met its fate. Production stopped and so did the sales. After a few more years, a new breed of sleek cars was developed by Chrysler but still, the image of the GTX was not forgotten.

The Gentleman's Car still lives in each and every one of the car models at Chrysler - from the hood scoops that were immortalized by the GTX to the kind of undulated sexiness that each sedan flaunted. True to its image, the Plymouth's version of the GTX will forever stay in the hearts of many.

Classy, fast, gas guzzlers, sleek - these are the best words to describe classic cars. They possess rarity, beauty and great engineering, which is what makes these cars so captivating. In addition, they are known for their history and for the memories they evoke.

You can find a lot of these models and if you are in search for a classic car to purchase, here are just some of the top choices:

They had introduced the SC Rambler that was patriotic colored in conjunction with Hurst in 1969 that was packed with 315bhp for fourteen-second quarter miles. AMC Rebel was considered as the most powerful stock car that was available in the late 1950s and it continued to make an impression through the 60s.

Dodge Charger

The line-up of the 1969 Dodge Charger introduced a wide variety of models including the more magnificent Special Edition 'SE', the base model, the 2 racing editions (the 500 and Daytona) and the R/T.

The Dodge Charger was manufactured by Chrysler and since its launch, it has captured the hearts of many, especially younger males.
