Loud '67 Plymouth Belvedere GTX with Built 426 Hemi

[@TheGunfighter45acp]

The start button placement was well thought out, but so was everything else,too. It's a no frills, no BS build that just flat out works. I love it!

[@AutotopiaLA]

That’s the truth and I love that start button hidden away in the shifter too. Really cool car

[@wkanost]

I love that body style. Always have. The old Mopars have great lines and real personality.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Agreed

[@markmacrae1305]

I have a '67 but mine has the 440 Super Commando in place of the Hemi.

[@extramile150]

Wow. I'm impressed! I did own a 1967 Plymouth GTX back in 1968 when I was 18 for about one year until Uncle Sam sent me my draft notice. Mine was a 440, not a Hemi, and my dad lent me the money for a down payment...and I worked 3 jobs making those monthly payments. My good friend Pete Shadinger, who won competition eliminator and little eliminator titles at several NHRA National events (2-time US Nationals winner early 1960s). helped me with some performance add ons. I am so impressed with this video because I thought...here's another video and the driver will baby it around...NO. This guy is really a badass and he puts that Hemi through the paces!!! I'll be 71 this coming July and what memories it brings back to me. Mine was B5 Blue, Torqueflite, and we added Hedman Headers, Mallory Dual Point, Holley 3-Barrell on the special aluminum Edelbrock intake and got it to run 12.96 at 107 with its 3.23 gears and tiny slicks on. Notable, when I got it, it had 1200 miles on it purchased at an area Dodge Dealer and we paid $2,995. I think it must have been one of the last ones built as it came with a Dana 60...not an 8 3/4 rear which is what all the automatics came through with. If it was a 440 or a 426 Hemi 4-speed, they all had Dana 60s. From the sound, I think this Hemi in the post has either a 3.23 rear or maybe a 3.55. Great video..check my website at gregzyla.com and thanks if you do.

[@jamesstark8316]

I too bought a '67 in 1968 when I was 16 (thanks grandpa for gifting the down payment). It was also a 440 with the same black paint job as in the video (but with 2 gold racing stripes down the hood). I loved that car. Had to sell it after a few years because I couldn't afford the insurance payments. Great video and great memories.

[@davidhibbs6989]

I ordered mine in 67' at 18 years old I had a 354 sure grip they had a 323 and 354 he mentioned it had a bone stock Dana 60 410. They didn't come out until 69' .

[@cameronbrewster7348]

Nothing like an old Mopar with a pistol grip shifter! Man that paint really pops in the sun too!

[@zatiticherry3421]

Facts that paint is almost unreal!!!! 👌

[@ryhildo]

@@zatiticherry3421 - dude, your name is the colour of the car!?

[@siwash99]

Dude....That paint job!! Shout out to whoever did that!

[@danmyers9372]

Love the way the owner built the car. Kept the body lines and trim original (no murdered out crap or ridiculous looking 20+” wheels) so it still looks essentially like a 60’s-70’s muscle car. He then restomoded the drivetrain, brakes and suspension and then drives the car vs parking it in a warehouse somewhere. Well done!! BTW, I love the paint color. Very striking.

[@AutotopiaLA]

The paint is really cool and unique on this one. I love the crazy builds as much as the more simple ones like this

[@weeniehutjunior]

that SOUND!!! I love it! you know your car is badass when it doesn't even need to move ..... the loud menacing idle tells the world it is bad ass.

[@AutotopiaLA]

And when you open up the cut outs it’s beautifully obnoxious loud!!

[@BobbyTucker]

Shawn, Back when I was 18 I got a 63 Chevy Impala SS 409/425 eng, 4 spd. 2 4bbl carbs, it had a sucked valve when I bought it so I had to rebuild the engine, had to sleeve one cyl, replaced a piston, loved that car. It was all white with red interior, complete with a tach mounted on the dash from the factory. I'd sure like to see you feature one on your show sometime. Thank's for sharing this, I sure enjoyed it.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Cool suggestion and sounds like you had a good one there!

[@BobbyTucker]

@@AutotopiaLA , In retro-spect, wish I would have kept it, lol.

[@brianbob7514]

that is a really beautiful car, perfect antidote to all of the crazy super custom super modified project cars

[@tonyincs]

Always loved the Belvedere body lines! Awesome version here, and that shifter is the bomb!

[@s.gossett5966]

Definitely a car I wanted at 17, 18, all the way up to my current 45.

[@VG-iq8xq]

Me too. Seems like there's a few out there for sale. Price's I've noticed average around 45. A lot of dough for sure. But man is this an awesome body style. Have you seen the Silver Bullet GTX? A monster! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ombUmnabi6ilZ68

[@proskills2168]

Classic. Rhombus shaped C pillars. Flip top gas cap. The art of clean lines. 1967 adrenaline shot.

[@Stettenbauer]

That sound has to be the best !

[@karlsracing8422]

Gtx was a classy car, great detail.

[@michaelcousins2526]

Damn!! That just brought back a lot of memories of Friday and Saturday nights cruising and (cough couch) racing and having fun ... sigh... 30+ yrs ago! Sweet build!!

[@staindpam]

Man, she's a beauty! I drove a GTX back in 1970. She was burnt orange. This is one sweet car. Thanks for sharing.

[@djsonfire0001]

This body style grabs my eye GTX!

[@VG-iq8xq]

Whether your a Ford, Chevy, whatever guy/gal you gotta love a 67 GTX! This color is gorgeous. The stance and the rims all look great. 6 speed? Oh yeah! It's an absolutely beautiful street machine!

[@ncsteeltoe]

One of my favorite cars you've featured by far.

[@Paris.Kalachnikov]

The depth of this colour is spectacular

[@elizandrolopez6295]

No way man, leave it like that is as beast , no more changes. The interior is intact, dash and steering wheel is factory is perfect i love it.!!👍👍🍻

[@rickb9238]

Beautiful car. I can verify that those cars came with the embossed seats back then. I knew a few guys that had 67 GTX Hemis.

[@craigcode7103]

Driving a car with a 426 hemi and four wheel drum brakes must have been nuts! Just curious, what were you driving back in the day?

[@karloskekstein6852]

My 68 440 mag was bought from the original owner for $1500.00. Never got beat on the street. I was 21 years old and saw no danger having drum brakes and worn bias ply tires. Denver to new Orleans with one tank of premium every hour at 110 to 120 mph. Happy Daze!!!

[@khabaaustralia]

That's a sweet old school with a warm lick of modern bad ass looking box

[@Mick_A_Knuckle]

8:12 Once again Shawn demonstrates that he's mastered the art of manual trans shifting and clutch use. Nice car!

[@austin2466]

That made me smile. Haha!

[@1valg]

Now that´s a cool looking classic! With enough old-school power and gentle upgrades. That´s a car to enjoy. Loved the start button!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Agreed all the way and yes on that hidden start button!

[@darylharvey2865]

The color, the mods, the motor... Perhaps the most perfect GTX on earth.

[@chrislovett87]

Wow, what a beautiful car, and numbers matching. Always loved the GTX

[@Platuse]

Damn!!!!!!!!! is it ok i'm drooling, when i see perfections like this one!!!!? Awesome job!!!

[@chrisdooley6468]

God my dream car. That hemi sounds magnificent

[@tommyfrombama4834]

James Bond..... I lol'd. Love that car. Nothing has the visual impact or legendary aura of an old school hemi. That car sounds awesome. I love that body style too.

[@csmith9684]

You see this kids.... this is what driving really looks like no buttons to push or laptops or traction control...old school

[@AutotopiaLA]

Pure old school and it’s refreshing as can be. Simple and connected to the car

[@hemiheritage]

I'd have been proud to have come up with this generation of musclecar as well. Certainly don't make em like this anymore. In some ways that is just a shame, but there is also something to be said about the way they build cars today. Pros and cons to each, but in either case satifying to own and a whole lot of fun to drive

[@charlenegray6344]

This is Dana Gray and I bought mine when I was 18 and still have it today that was 45 years ago now, it is an original 426 hemi 4 speed car But when I bought it, it was a 440 automatic which I changed back to a 4 speed. After blowing up the 440 44 years ago it has been stored. but after watching this video over and over and over with the volume wide open to listen to that sound and driving my wife crazy this has inspired me to work at resurrecting our town terror machine. Looking for an engine for it now, a 426 would be nice but seems to be out of my budget so looking for a 440 that I can build myself to the old 440 I built when I bought the car, 11.5 to 1 compression mild cam and holly 850 double pump carb

[@2Aqua1]

Man! All that sorted out & stunning paint job!!! Great presentation! Totally Bad Ass..❤️

[@CJColvin]

Man thats one beautiful badass Plymouth Belvedere GTX man and that beefed up 426 Hemi is a beast.

[@BillEFabian]

My dad bought a new 68 GTO and my buddies dad bought the next year’s GTX 440. There was no comparison. The Mopar was in a different league. We terrorized L.A. with that beast.

[@randalldavis3251]

Driving that would put a smile on anyone's face.

[@tomnekuda3818]

Fantastic car.....this is the car that sold me my RoadRunner. The color is out of this world and the Tremec with the shifter is a big step above the Hemi 4-sp'd I had. Looking down the nose of that car is better than love.

[@nobsatthistime]

In my 20's i was lucky enough to own one of these Yr's ago. 703 Hardtop's and 17 Convertibles were Built of the 1967 Plymouth GTX with a 426 Hemi. Did not even know this until Yr's later. Most came with the 440 Super Commando. O how i kick my butt when i see this ride today. Great Ride with all the extra's it's mint.

[@barryboyd7973]

Wow. Another great looking mid sixties car that you don’t see very often. Love the clean look and the roof line.

[@TheRealJasonJayV]

That's a badass ride love the color! 🖒😎

[@AutotopiaLA]

Same for me. That color is so good

[@rickscott7438]

Yeah, you are always teasing us with some of the sickest vehicles that back when I was 18 years old and this car was on the showroom floor at about $3,500. That's hard to believe now when you see it's value, and I can't begin to think how rare and hard to find it would be. LOVE it !

[@raverick187]

Someone in production will got J.Leno envy, because of this new camera frames. Good job! Like the car and it's tune, didn't know that model exist, at all. Pure oldschool.

[@AutotopiaLA]

It’s refreshing and I love the whole spectrum from full customs to simple modded rides like this

[@marwannabe]

AutotopiaLA let's say I appreciate the work and craftsmanship which goes into the full spectrum, but when it comes to ownership and the limited resources, one will have to chose... At least some of us 😊 this particular build is perfect I think because its muscle era soul is very present and it delivers that experience... Feels almost "period" tuned 😊 anyway I'm a fan and keep at it 🤘

[@shaunclifton5281]

'67 Belvedere was the first hemi powered car I ever saw in person. I was 12. My older brother had to tell me what I was looking at. It was owned by a friend of my dad's who was a dentist. I was in awe of how physically big the engine was. That is a beautiful car. Give that over a 800 hp LS something any day.

'67 GTX. Beautiful car. One of my bucket list car's. One can dream!

[@steves4639]

gorg car...beautiful paint...unique and beautiful body lines on the mid-60's Mopar. Real, non-aspirated horsepower...you get all its got, right up front in the seat of your pants. 1966-67 were first years for the street hemi, and they sold more of them then than any other so they are not uncommon, but any hemi car has value...I'm glad the owner didn't cut it up for a resto-mod. Pistol grip didn't show up 'til 1970, but lots of Mopars retrofitted, 'cause they're fun.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Nothing like grabbing a pistol grip and letting it rip!

[@Uptown59]

This car is absolutely bea-utiful! This should be featured in "Mopar Action" magazine.

[@AutotopiaLA]

It’s such a cool simple build with stunning paint

[@ricktrimble4589]

Agreed, Shawn... an example of "less is more."

[@paw45]

The 1967 Plymouth GTX is on my bucket list. When I was in high school 1979. My friend had a perfectly straight body 67 GTX with a beefed up 440. He kept blowing up the 3 speed automatic transmission and left it sitting on the street. I tried many times to buy the car from him. But he would not sell it. The city of Houston kept putting warnings on the windshield to move the car. The city eventually took the car away. I can not get that car out of my head and must get one before I kick the bucket.

My dad had a red 66 Belvedere 4spd with a 383 magnum and back in the day when in the winter time he would put snow tires on it and I swear that car would burn rubber through 3rd gear with those snow tires. I loved that car and he put it up in the basement and told me it would be mine one day and he remarried and that bitch hated that car and he sold it. Broke my heart but I still have those great memories...

[@calvincooley1074]

Thirsty, I could hear it belch when you were pulling away from the curb. Lol it was saying "I'm a thirsty HEMI, give me more throttle, more fuel and I'll make you happier than you already are!" Such a kool car! My neighbor had a Squarevedere when I was a little kid (5 or6) andit was probably my first time seeing and hearing a hot rod. Got to see a 67 HEMI GTX under mostly completed restoration and of course got to learn of and learn history of The Silver Bullet, Woodward Avenue street racing legend! Thanks!

I had a 1967 origional factory post window drag car. 426 hemi belvedere. No mirrors accept the interior rearview mirror. Extra lightweight seats a rubber floor . No padding . 3000k origional miles . The owner was M.I.A . In Vietnam. My older brother purchased the car after iit sat for 17 yrs in a storage . The car is now in western Michigan and is pearl white .

[@MrGaryGG48]

Shawn, that's another great find! Proportions are just RIGHT; everything looks best on the model that came out first, before the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th year "Model Spread" that usually happened. The length would grow, the width grew, and the weight grew as well. The 1st years were the best of nearly any model car. You make me laugh though when you say, "I wish I'd have had one like this when I was 17." Shawn, if you'd had one like this at 17, there'd be really high odds that you never would have made it to 18! ;^) Damn few 17 year olds have the skills to control something like this. (Not all that many 50 years olds do either.) There are no "Nannys" in there to save your butt when you over do it. Thanks Shawn, it's another excellent video...
