High Octane Classics is proud to offer this absolutely stunning 1968 GTX tribute. Shown in yellow gold over a black and gold interior. This B body received a nut and bolt restoration to a high level about 5 years ago. The body on this car is a straight as they come and the paint still looks wet, with no orange peal or nonsense, it is show quality. Everything on this car is either new or refurbished from front to back, leaving no disappointments for the new owner. Powered by the famous 440 SIX PACK engine, the carbs are tuned perfect on this unit. Getting all of this power to the ground is a 727 automatic transmission backed by a gear venders overdrive unit down to sure grip 8 3/4 rear end with 4.10 gears. This car has all the show and all the go! The undercarriage is just as nice with no poor patch work or short cuts, this car is done right.

I graduated from high school in 1968 and several older friends of mine had these cars along with road runners 396 chevelles I loved all those cars, what a time to be a young man. Thanks Steve it takes me back to a much better time.

Mid 60's to early 70's were the BEST times for teenagers....cheap gas, cheap beer and muscle cars! Mine was a 68 Firebird 400.

My next door neighbor as a kid had a 68 383 Road Runner. The GTX and Road Runners were my favorite MOPARS of all time. Also present was a 66 GT350, a 69 SS 396 Camaro and an L87 Corvette. There were others but those were the stand outs.

The 440/six pack was a killer motor!

That is one nice looking car. Thanks for the presentation Steve.

Darn well executed - what a monster! This is a “who cares if it’s original” car. And that cam lope…… Thanks for sharing. ~ Chuck

I was 18 in 1968 when my brother came home from the Army and bought a slightly used 67 Plymouth GTX. It was an column automatic with stock 3:23 gears and stock 440. There wasn't a GTO around that could beat him. Bone stock with only slicks on it, he won the trophy in his class at ATCO dragway, turning 14.01 @ 105 mph. The car was a beast!

Man, that is a fantabulous interior. Built just right, too, if it was a 4-speed it'd be PERFECT in my eyes. I had a Satellite RoadRunner clone with a GOOD 383 and 5-speed Tremec years ago in high school, awesome car, even handled fairly well.

This one was originally a six-cylinder car with the VIN for the win: R for Belvedere, H for High price class (Satellite in this case), 23 for two door hardtop, B for 225 CID Slant Six with one barrel, aka "Leaning Tower of Power", 8 for 1968 model year, A for Lynch Road, Detroit, MI assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Lynch Road facility closed in April 1981 and last assembled the "R" body cars. No tag, can't brag, but possible Yellow Gold exterior paint, code "H".

The 1968 did not have the cutouts already in the hood for that year. It was all formed steel and closed. That started in 1969 to have the N96 air grabber. Very hard to find an original 68 RR/GTX hood. They are only repopping the 1969 style hood. Which is most likely what got used on this car. Both the 68 & 69 have the same dimensions and bolt pattern for the scoop pieces.
