Numbers-matching 4-speed 1970 Plymouth GTX with a 440 engine and Dana 60 rear resurfaces as a driveable restoration candidate.
A true 1970 Plymouth GTX, factory-built with a 440 cubic-inch engine, 4-speed manual transmission, and Dana 60 rear end, is now being offered as a solid and mostly complete restoration candidate—or a rugged driver for enthusiasts who prefer patina over polish.
Originally finished in Burnt Tan Metallic (FT6) with a black vinyl top, white bucket seat interior, and white side stripes, this GTX carries genuine pedigree. The car retains its original VIN plate, door sticker, fender tag, broadcast sheet, and partial VIN stamps, confirming its authenticity as a real RS23U-code muscle car.
Under the hood is a 1969 high-performance 440 V8 from a Charger R/T, fitted with the correct 1970 air cleaner assembly. While the engine is not numbers-matching, the car does retain its original factory 4-speed transmission and 3.54-geared Dana 60 rear axle—both highly desirable components among Mopar purists.
Described as a “drive it while you fix it” vehicle, the GTX runs, drives, shifts, steers, and stops, although it has been off the road for several years. Its mechanical completeness and roadworthiness make it an appealing platform for weekend cruises or gradual restoration.
Structurally, the car is solid, with strong frame rails, rocker panels, and torsion bar supports. This integrity makes it an excellent candidate for a full restoration, while also preserving the option to enjoy it in its current worn but functional state.
With the values of genuine 4-speed Mopar muscle cars continuing to rise, this 1970 GTX presents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly original, factory-built muscle machine with documented history and investment potential.
