There is some discussion here weather the car was ever beaten in a street race. I do not know, but this is from the sign posted alongside of the car at the 2007 Woodward Dream Cruise. 1967 PLYMOUTH GTX, "THE SILVER BULLET" Although originally a factory tested car, this car after being purchased by Jimmy Addison, became a Woodward street racer. In the 1960's and 1970's, impromptu drag races occurred with regularity on Woodward Ave. in suburban Detroit. Although originally the car was a 440 cubic incher, Jummy Addison equipped the GTX with a stroker 487 cubic inch 426 hemi engine, compression 12.0:1 with a set of A-990 aluminum heads a magnesium cross ram intake and dual Holley 780 carburetors. To keep it quiet, he designed an exhaust system with 4 mufflers. To make the car lighter, he replaced body panels with fiberglass fenders doors, a hood, and a trunk lid. The result of it all was to make over 650 horsepower to push this 3200 pound B-body through the quarter mile in 10.30 seconds at over 134 miles per hour. Anytime, Anyplace, The Silver Bullet was never beaten. The legendary "Silver Bullet" is still well known among drag racers across the country. OWNER: HAROLD SULLIVAN

My late Father knew Jimmy back in the day. Jimmy didn’t exactly have the best bedside manner but that car was every bit as fast as the legend. (my Dad was employee #2 at Direct Connection)

[@EldenBolton]

I heard of this car when I read about it in a car magazine in either the 60's or 70's. I owned a 67 GTX in the early 70's. It was silver just like this one. I had the 440. I had a 500 lift 300 duration Crower solid lifter cam. Bigger exhaust valves. Dual Crower valve springs, Isky adjustable rocker arms. Heads milled .060. Two inch Hooker headers, Accel distributor, electric fuel pump, 4.10 gears in a Dana 60. The fun I had in that car. I ran slicks on the street. I lived in Michigan too, but on the other side of the state. Car was the best car I ever drove in snow. Would not get stuck. Finally blew the motor and had decided to get married. Sold the car. Wish I still had the car because I had it longer then the marriage. Next bought a 69 428 SCJ Mustand fastback. All black with shaker hood. Rocket 5 spoke mags all around. L60's on the back. 3.91 gears with automatic. Loved that car till a drunk hit it and totaled. I had a good time when I was young.

The exhaust system on that car was a work of art with 4 Cadillac mufflers to keep the sound level down but not restrict flow.

[@mrcbody1017]

I'm certain they meant to say Imperial mufflers which were high flow and extremely quiet yet interchanged with the hemi part numbers when new.

This car makes me tingle. The man Jimmy Addison and the story behind it are what TRUE Bluecollar car guys strived to be.. Respected hands on Mopar lovers for LIFE. Tom Hoover gave the 7th day to man on that Bumper Sticker and thanks to Mr Kellog that bitch had an attitude. Oh hell yea that is the baddest GTX to ever pound the pavement.

[@angelperez7891]

Public International described these Plymouths, including this Silver Bullet, as a boulevardier at low speed and said it could transform,"...to a demon at the stoplights,". In NASCAR the Silver Bullet concept was modified to race on the track at the hands of Richard Petty.

[@sparkyguitar0058]

Do remember you're talking about a 71 Challenger and a 67 Belvedere. 3 yrs difference on Woodward. And that station was not a Sunoco it was called like Oakdale or something like that. Catalpa, Berkeley side. I remember that cat around that area cause we hung across Woodward at the Ford dealer.

The Silver Bullet to me the Master Street HEMI! Back in the day I remember roomers about this car. Street racers all around Indy were well aware of this car. We had several ten second cars in town but the reputation of the Silver Bullet was legendary.

[@jaybritt6275]

That answered my Question: THE " ORIGINAL SILVER BULLET WAS A BLUE CAR. There was an article that the guy who bought the car after Jimmy Addison built a replica " Silver Bullet GTX " like the Original SILVER BULLET* Where is that car..?

[@gordocarbo]

@@jaybritt6275 That was owned by a friend of mine, Mick Stevens RIP ,he painted it white after he got it from Jimmy as it was impossible to get a race by then.

[@Fubarfighter]

This is THE ONE! Car Craft's article said "What it takes to keep a 3,200 lb. street-driven Belvedere in the 10's." I actually had my own copy of the original blue car with the 440/ auto in the 1970's. It was strong, itself. These cars had great weight transfer and 7-leaf springs in the back. Really got off the line.

[@TimMartin62]

i heard that it was Chrysler,s car but they put it in Jimmy,s name. so if he got in trouble,they could not trace it to Chrysler corp, What an era. Now think about the Ramchargers team. Work at Chrysler,and get paid to drag race. MOPAR

[@VG-iq8xq]

What a gorgeous GTX! I recall seeing it in a magazine years ago. Love the silver. I love my Chevy's but I like all muscle cars and this thing is just so insanely awesome. Something about the boxier body styles that are so cool. From what I could see those headers are a work of art! Hats off to the builder!

[@angelperez7891]

Hurst Campbell, Inc. built 75 of these Plymouths in 1967. All had GTX and "426" insignias though the engine was larger. A "Silver Bullet" was prepared for the Sox & Martin drag racing team.

[@DTittle]

I first heard about this car in the early 70's around the time it was ruling the streets around Detroit from a couple of older cousins who lived around the area. I dreamed of someday building my own version but decided not to out of respect for Jimmy Addison. I have the issue of High Performance Mopar from 1989 with the story of it being located and needing total restoration,the issue of Mopar Action showing it completed and pounding the ground again as well as a the copy of Car Craft with the story by Ro McGongeal from 1971. These magazines are highly cherished and are currently in my safe. The legend lives on. R.I.P Jimmy.

Bob Seger is the man's name but the Silver Bullet Band is named after the legendary Silver Bullet.

To this day that grey GTX has never been beaten. Car Craft magazine.

[@robinluck2922]

I laughed when I heard the (son and present owner) of the Black Ghost hemi challenger said that the Silver Bullet & Black Ghost fought back and forth for bragging rights on Woodward!! Lol the Challenger didn't even have headers on it.... his dad was a vet and a firefighter that's what made him a legend...not his car...

Using big caddy mufflers was common in the 60s and 70s friend of mine still has them on his 67 Camaro Now we have the dynomax super turbo in 20-22in long cases....love quiet cars that get it done . Friend used a looong oval muffler off a V10 motorhome for his BB C10....you literally could barely even hear it idle but just as fast. Fun picking off 5.0s with that thing

[@hawaiiguykailua6928]

[@ericcurlett811]

That is truly badass!!!

[@jeremythompson9122]

Now THAT is a muscle car. I wonder if that's a bored and stroked Street Hemi with the Cross Ram Intake Manifold added on or if it's the 12.5:1 compression Race Hemi. The 67 GTX has always been one of my favorite muscle cars and this is the baddest one I've ever seen. As a Mopar guy that is the coolest car I've seen on LMC so far. I really liked the black A12 Roadrunner too

[@christophersine84]

I've never been able to find compression specs on the original engine. It had aluminum heads, and an aggressive racer brown cam. I'd assume that it was fairly high compression, and 12.5:1 would probably be a good estimate. The original owner owned a Sunoco station so he probably had easy access to race fuel. The original 487 was estimated to be in the 700 horsepower range.

[@jamesblair9614]

It was a big risk for any car maker to have a known association with a street racer, but the big three in Detroit all did it to some degree or other. Jimmie Addison and the Bullet GTX was the car to beat, everyone knew it, and knew it was a back door sanctioned Chrysler race car, and fifty plus years on, the Legend is alive.
