1971 Plymouth GTX 440

A 1971 440 Plymouth GTX I shot at Floyd Garrett Muscle Car Museum...Very Nice Car...check it out!!

[@aaronconn3794]

This was my Dad's car. Scottie misread the sign. My dad special ordered it new, so he was the only owner until it was bought by Floyd Garrett. It is 100% percent original and untouched. Only the oil has been changed. You would have to know my dad to know how well he takes care of his cars. Always in a climate controlled garage and covered up. It has never been in the rain and I can't remember him ever washing it because he never let it get dirty. .

[@goingoffgrid2849]

I hate to admit but I sold my '71 GTX for $1,000 with many nos parts including an extra air grabber switch. This video almost makes me cry lol. Mine was curious yellow too..... If I win the lottery Im going to find this car hahaha. GREAT VIDEO!!

My Dad had a bunch of '60's & 70's Chrysler products and he claimed that they had the most durable drive-trains to come out of Detroit, but the cars themselves seemed to be an afterthought. He liked the 440 engine and had a 440 sedan and wagon. He was just brutal on those cars, constantly making fun of them. I have never owned a Chrysler product from years of listening to my dad insult them. They make fine cars now!

Nice muscle car!

Very nice Scottie!

[@ScottieDTV]

+1969 Mopar Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ScottieDTV]

Yes....the good old days....this one is near the end though....

[@emokidsscare]

Wish I could have seen you there I was just there on Saturday the 9th it was nice but it drove me crazy that I was around all these cars and couldn't have any of them my favorite was the 69 hemi' gtx and the black gnx along with the 69 Shelby gt500 conv. I should be back up there in a month or so maybe I can see you there

[@ScottieDTV]

Thanks!

[@Kinglew23]

American muscle at its best

[@ScottieDTV]

Yep!

[@TheEternalHater]

you know, that is some awesome paint. im havin a hard time believin its original. it so shiny and clean.

[@ScottieDTV]

I agree it is nice....but I have no reason to believe it's not

[@fredgarvin8280]

yeah yeah ive been listening to tools like you for ever. ive got a shop full of original paint cars. solid color non metalic paints hold up awesome. Metallic paints dont hold up well even in controlled environments. ive seen countless original paint cars ruined by people just like you.

love from India

[@ScottieDTV]

Thank You!!

[@GregLuft-ent]

That's definitely a very nice example of a 71 gtx roadrunner. They are definitely getting rare to see around these days.

[@ScottieDTV]

Right on....Thanks for checking this one out here!!

[@fredgarvin8280]

GTX is its own MODEL. 1972 is the only year they did that ridiculous combination GTX/RR.

[@sleddinfool]

Wow, this car is cool.. I have one the same color-gy3.. Mine appears to have a few different options.. Like Scotty said when he said it was the most heavily optioned 71x.. I see no power windows..No auto-- , mine has the louvres-- very rare only 30 x's built with them. Can't see under the hood to see if it has air or not. Can't wait to finish the resto on mine..

[@ScottieDTV]

Ya...I don't know...I just report..lol....good luck with your....sounds like it will be nice!

[@RollingArtDesigns]

I'm definitely a huge Mopar maniac and I love these old big block Mopars! It looks like Daisy's Roadrunner! Please see if Floyd Garrett has any classic A-Body Mopars like a 1971-72 Dodge Demon 340, a 1968-69 Dodge Dart GTS with a 383 or a A-990 Super Stock Hemi-Dart! If he has any other Dart, Duster, or Demon A-Bodies please show them, you just can't go wrong with a lightweight A-Body Mopar with a powerful big block engine in them or a high revving 340! If you need Mo'Power...you need a Mopar!!!

[@jeremythompson9122]

The 340 Mopar A-Bodies(Duster, Dart/Demon) were maybe the best performance bargains of that era. They were definitely more than capable of embarrassing many of the high dollar big block cars in those days. The 340 was a screamer. I'd like to own a 69 Dart Swinger 340-4 speed. I had a 73 Duster 340-4 speed a while ago and that little car was pretty fast even for a low compression smog era 340. First thing I did was throw away the smog pump and install headers and Flowmaster 40 Series mufflers. But other than that and advancing the timing a bit I left it bone stock. I wish I still had it. The 340 A-Bodies and the base model 383/ 4 speed Roadrunner/Super Bee were the most bang for your buck that you could get during that era probably from any manufacturer. The 428 CJ/SCJ powered 69 Ford Fairlane Cobra and Mercury Cyclone CJ also provided a lot of muscle for the money. The Pontiac GTO Judge was originally supposed to be a budget minded muscle car like the others I mentioned but actually ended up being more expensive than a regular GTO in the end

[@thehuntx]

My best car 71 GTX.

[@scottdupre3728]

Cool...glad you liked it!

[@ScottieDTV]

I know...Crazy!

[@PageCrowes]

My Pops passed away 3 years ago and is the original owner of a curious yellow 71 440 super commando GTX that he bought off the showroom floor on Gratiot ave in Roseville Michigan in 1971 coming home from work he said. My mom owns her now and will be handed down to my brother and I if I live long enough God willing. I have alot of memories in that car. We towed the camper to Florida Disney World and Colorado Rockies a few times and I remember my dad hitting resume on the cruise at the light and it would go full throttle and pass people with the camper on the back. He put an after market cruise on for vacation. I think she has like 64k on her now, thtas still low miles for a 71. Pops got to restore her before he passed and she looks better then new. Only thing I dont like is they couldnt find the black 440 for the hood and settled for the white. She came with the black 440 letters.

[@ScottieDTV]

WOW...Thanks for checking it out here....Thanks for the history...

[@HARMARSCH2]

Most of the Mopars you shoot are yellow. lol **yeah I know you said that but I started typing before you said it. Nice car. I see Krysta Blade likes it too. :--D

[@ScottieDTV]

I am crazy about cars....but I don't have the money to own a old school Hot Rod...plus as much as I love them..I'm not the guy you want working on it....I would love to have one though..

[@ScottieDTV]

lol..of course it is..

[@rogerscottburchett1]

nice

[@seabrookieone]

it also has the white/not amber auxiliary lights, and a.c !

[@MrFigneuton]

beautiful!! but id drive it and show her of!

[@jeddfarley]

no longer the original finger prints on that door XD

[@ScottieDTV]

I'll do it Brother

[@ricktaylor3748]

The sigh was wrong about the 71 being the last year of production for the GTX. I had a 72 model of which only 255 were produced and a friend of mine had a 1974 mod. GTX...a real dog for as far as power goes.

[@alanwanger2855]

Rick Taylor From 72 to 74 the GTX was just an option package on the Roadrunner. Low compression dogs but the bodies were still cool.

[@ricktaylor3748]

Alan Wanger I couldn't agree more. The 72 mod. I had was rated @ 285 hp, but I believe it had a little more than that. I wore a set of Sears Road Handler radials out in four burnouts and it would do 0 to 100 mph in 12 seconds flat w/ 3.55 gears. I've always loved those bullet shaped body's, I'm sure they were very aerodynamic...Also a gas guzzler from Hell...11 mpg hwy. 8 city.

[@ricktaylor3748]

Rick Taylor And the sign is still wrong.

[@finpainter1]

original unrestored almost hard to believe ..

[@1rapomcuda]

Cant beat muscle cars. And oh by the way its Yellow if you hadnt noticed! lol

[@JoeCnNd]

Hated yellow but I'm coming around.

[@ScottieDTV]

The right shade works...

[@JoeCnNd]

@@ScottieDTV definitely!

[@fitzyholden1036]

I must have weird taste then mate as I'd prefer a GTX or Road Runner to a Cuda any day.

[@ScottieDTV]

That's why they made them all....

[@jeremythompson9122]

Me too. I always liked B-Body Mopars the best

[@harleycuda426]

Beautiful car but far from the highest optioned 71 GTX built . My 71 same color had the options as the one shown but mine got elastomeric bumpers with the nascar spoiler on top of the bumper . , hood pins , rimblow steering wheel , power windows . I don't see these options on this car .

[@ScottieDTV]

Cool..Thanks for checking this one out here!!

[@harleycuda426]

@@ScottieDTV Quite welcome Scottie .

[@ScottieDTV]

lol..whats up with that!

[@seabrookieone]

mine is "slap-stick"...

[@bonichols8511]

Everybody has their own opinion & so do i & this 71 Plymouth GTX & th' 71 Plymouth "Roadrunner" were the BADDEST muscle cars that EVER came out PERIOD . & these 2 were the BADDEST muscle cars that Chrysler ever put out also.

[@ScottieDTV]

lol...

[@bonichols8511]

Scottie, what is up with you calling 70's muscle cars "rust buckets" ??......uuuh......their not rust buckets in Greenville, S.C. where i'm from . Are you "assuming" everybody is from up north like you??.......well their not !!!!!

[@ScottieDTV]

Thanks!
