    1960s Imperial Owner's Experience?

    Now that my GTX is gone, spring is almost here and I'm looking at cars. Thinking about a BIG CAR as a daily driver, not a beater but something I can take anywhere and park on the street. I have seen a number of 1960s era Imperials for sale, I've always liked them but have never owned one. Is...

    Back to Stock?

    Trying to sell my car has been a resounding flop so I'm probably going to keep it. I bought this car because of memories of another 67 GTX I owned back in the 70s. The look and feel of the car is spot on but I have not been happy with the engine mods and overall performance so if I keep it I...

    SOLD 1967 Plymouth GTX 4-Speed Hardtop

    I'm selling my GTX after a little more than two years. I bought this car as a fully restored "done" car, first time ever in a life of projects. Of course it wasn't really "done" as you know if you have read my posts. I fixed what few issues it had and now it is done for me. If I keep it I'm...

    TxDon's 67 GTX Project

    I bought my 67 GTX in June of 2015. After owning and working on countless project cars over the last 50 years I wanted this one to be different, a much nicer car that I could take to shows and enjoy right away without having to restore or rebuild a laundry list of "stuff". I already had one of...

    67 GTX - Texas Cooling Adventures

    I've owned my car about a year and a half now and have worked my way through a few teething and tuning issues to the point that it is now running well. One semi-issue since I got it has been cooling issues during the Hell we call Texas summer. The mechanical temp gauge shows the normal warmed up...

    Stock Restoration or Modified?

    I've been on this forum for awhile and the limited amount of posts I have read and subscribed to seem to show the vast majority of cars here are modified in some way. My GTX looks stock on the outside but has some underhood mods, aftermarket A/C, etc. Is my impression correct or have I just read...

    Clutch Inspection / Dust Cover 67 GTX

    I am going to be getting some work done on the clutch and transmission and one of the things included is replacing the dust cover on the bottom of the bellhousing. The pos cover on there now is made of plastic and is basically melted. I assume the original cover was sheetmetal, is that right...

    Electronic Ignition Questions

    Car electrical systems are not my strong suit so forgive me if these are stupid questions but I still need some answers. My 440 has what appears to be a Mopar electronic distributor using a reluctor / pickup instead of points. It is connected to a chromed Pertronix Flame thrower coil with what...

    67 GTX 440 - Poor Driveability Issues, Need Help

    (Warning - long post) I've had my GTX for about 8 months now, its a 440 with 4-speed and 3.54 Dana. It had a stock spec restoration back in 2001 and has been well kept since then.

    I'm having an intermittent starting problem on my 67 GTX. It had been turning over and starting great then one morning I turned the key and nothing - no click, nothing at all.

    "Hemi Mufflers" - Need some Education

    I need some help from the OEM experts. My 67 GTX came with what were identified as "Hemi Mufflers". I remember my first 67 (38 years ago!) had similar shaped mufflers and had a great mellow sound that didn't get in the way of the radio unless you punched it. The mufflers on this car are friggin'...

    My 67 GTX - Non-Project

    After 38 years I have returned to Mopar ownership with a 1967 GTX. I owned one of these back in the early 70s and always regretted selling it but it took a long time to get to another. I saw this car on Ebay and found out it was being sold by a consignment dealer in the DFW area, so I was able...

    Whiteish Coating or Residue on Tire Sidewalls

    When I got this car the tires were billed as new and looked black and shiny but now they have a whiteish residue on them and look bad. The residue kind of wipes off but not completely like it is a bit sticky. I'm assuming they sprayed some gunk on the tires as part of a detail but I have no idea...

    Back to Mopar After 38 Years!

    I've had my new-to-me 67 GTX less than a month and other than a Welcome Wagon post I have just been lurking. I'll be posting more as I get used to the car but I wanted to start with a thread about my previous experience with Chrysler products and see if there is any interest. Cars have been...
