I had a ‘69 Plymouth GTX 440. It was a great car. It was beautiful, a gentleman’s muscle car. Compared to a ‘66 GTO I was driving a second class citizen and I knew it. That car was what made me love and learn more about motors and style. Only wish I owned one today. I’m 75 years old too!

I bought a tri power 4 speed GTO in 1966 for $3379. It had the AM-FM radio with the 3-d echo sound effect device that GM provided. Blue with blue vinyl top. Had sintered metallic brakes up front that needed to be heated up to work properly. I had a 4.33 rear axle ratio.
