1968 Plymouth GTX 440 Convertible

Garage Kept Motors is pleased to offer this super rare 1968 Plymouth GTX 440 Convertible. This vehicle is from The John Staluppi Cars of Dreams Museum in Palm Beach, FL, one of the finest car collections in the world. If you?ve never heard of Mr. Staluppi, it would be worthwhile to look him up. Plymouth only made 881 of these GTX Convertibles, making it highly collectible, and even more so being a former Cars of Dreams museum piece. This vehicle came from the factory finished in Sable White (code W) paint with a matching white soft top over a White (code S6W) trim. It is powered by the original 440cid/375hp 4bbl V8 High Performance engine mated to a console shifted 3-Speed Automatic transmission. When Plymouth released the GTX, they rightfully named it The Gentleman?s Muscle Car. It had plenty of power when you put your foot down but also some nice refinements, such as power windows, power convertible top, and air conditioning. The car also features wood trim, power window switches in all seating areas, front bucket seats, center console, Coker redline tires, full spare tire, dual exhaust, dome lighting, original AM/FM radio, boot cover, and remains rust free. This factory Triple White GTX with the Super Commando 440 is the real deal. A garage-kept example worthy of any collection. Be sure to check out all the photos and video on our main website: Garage Kept Motors. Call if interested or e-mail with any questions. Thank you for looking.

And I sold it to get funds to buy our first house nearly 40 years ago.

Most people that sell their car, motorcycle or a prized possession never replaces it. Your a lucky guy.

At least I still have that license plate! It's on the Hellcat.

At least I still have that license plate! It's on the Hellcat.

I kept the license plate and pink slip for Baby Blue when I sold the car. When I bought it back in 2013, I used the same plate and paperwork to drive the GTX home to PA from Tennessee. The only discrepancy was that the date of issue was 1985, and the pink slip was only valid for 30 days. I hoped if I got stopped, the story of getting the car back would trump the expired paper work. My friend Bob, who had sold me the car in 1983, drove with me, and we made it home without incident.
