Wrinkled or not??

[67GeeTeeX]

Greetings!
OK.. I will ask this question once and only once, I promise. I'm tired of defending my opinion without some sort of backup. SO...did the 1967 GTX dual snorkel air filter housing come (FROM THE FACTORY) with wrinkle paint or not? I say it DID NOT. Old pictures of my new/original '67 GTX, from 1967 showed it to be sort of a satin or semigloss finish. Wrinkle paint was sort of new back in those days and some of us used to to paint stuff, but the factories didn't. Tell me I'm wrong or right about the wrinkle please.
(ps.I'm also of the opinion that in order for a Satellite or a Belvedere to be a true GTX, it had to have a center console/shifter/bucket seats/440 or 426.)
Fender badges, column shifters and bench seats do not a GTX make.

Do I owe a lot of people beers or will I be drunk for months?? Thanks. DLB
(yes this same question I posted on another mopar forum)

Well to answer your question, the GTX came standard with buckets.
Consoles were extra.
If you ordered an GTX with a T/F but no console, you got a column shift.

And a Satellite or a Belvedere will NEVER be a GTX.

They will always be Satellite or a Belvedere.

As for the air cleaner, I think it had a satin finish on it.

my Comments , The Plymouth Belvedere GTX was created as Plymouth's first unified performance model. Based on Belvedere it was give all the performance extra's.... even the Great Richard Petty had his hands on one. Dual snokel air clearner was wrinkled. color went by plant factory I was told.

Wrinkled finish was on the dual snorkels..You can buy it in spray can..Early Plymouth ads also show the snorkel in the torquoise color..I have not seen one in this color personally..

GTX's were ONLY Belvedere's or Satellites! They (Mopar) added GTX fender badges, a trunk lid badge, a glove box badge,rear seat trim "gtx", a center console, 150 mph speedo, and 440 or 426. Mine came that way back in '67 and the one I have now........I'm not lookin for a fight, but I don't agree w/ your comment that they NEVER were.....

Only the gTx was offered with the 440 in 67...You could get a satellite(sox& martin) and belvedere(Pettys car) with 426 with special order in 67...Same for the gTx(426) special order only..
I agree with yellowdartdave on the never...gTx has RS vin and the others do not...

My GTX came with a crinkle finish air cleaner.

The blue cleaner pictured on ads was just a photo promo deal, which has mislead countless people on what 'came' from the factory for years.

Not exactly true. The 1967 GTX WAS a Belvedere. In fact on the front fender it says Belvedere above the GTX emblem.
