1967 Chrysler GTX Silver Bullet

I love watching the old B Body’s rise up and leave!!!

There is some discussion here weather the car was ever beaten in a street race. I do not know, but this is from the sign posted alongside of the car at the 2007 Woodward Dream Cruise. 1967 PLYMOUTH GTX, "THE SILVER BULLET" Although originally a factory tested car, this car after being purchased by Jimmy Addison, became a Woodward street racer. In the 1960's and 1970's, impromptu drag races occurred with regularity on Woodward Ave. in suburban Detroit. Although originally the car was a 440 cubic incher, Jummy Addison equipped the GTX with a stroker 487 cubic inch 426 hemi engine, compression 12.0:1 with a set of A-990 aluminum heads a magnesium cross ram intake and dual Holley 780 carburetors. To keep it quiet, he designed an exhaust system with 4 mufflers. To make the car lighter, he replaced body panels with fiberglass fenders doors, a hood, and a trunk lid. The result of it all was to make over 650 horsepower to push this 3200 pound B-body through the quarter mile in 10.30 seconds at over 134 miles per hour. Anytime, Anyplace, The Silver Bullet was never beaten. The legendary "Silver Bullet" is still well known among drag racers across the country. OWNER: HAROLD SULLIVAN

My late Father knew Jimmy back in the day. Jimmy didn’t exactly have the best bedside manner but that car was every bit as fast as the legend. (my Dad was employee #2 at Direct Connection)

I heard of this car when I read about it in a car magazine in either the 60's or 70's. I owned a 67 GTX in the early 70's. It was silver just like this one. I had the 440. I had a 500 lift 300 duration Crower solid lifter cam. Bigger exhaust valves. Dual Crower valve springs, Isky adjustable rocker arms. Heads milled .060. Two inch Hooker headers, Accel distributor, electric fuel pump, 4.10 gears in a Dana 60. The fun I had in that car. I ran slicks on the street. I lived in Michigan too, but on the other side of the state. Car was the best car I ever drove in snow. Would not get stuck. Finally blew the motor and had decided to get married. Sold the car. Wish I still had the car because I had it longer then the marriage. Next bought a 69 428 SCJ Mustand fastback. All black with shaker hood. Rocket 5 spoke mags all around. L60's on the back. 3.91 gears with automatic. Loved that car till a drunk hit it and totaled. I had a good time when I was young.

That is a man's car, no electronics purely a mechanical car. Never to be overcome. The MIGHTY CHRYSLER HEMI

I know this car !!!...When I was young,it was featured in every hot rod magazine......WOW.

Yet the “black ghost” challenger was “unbeatable” 😂😅…we all know the truth.

Have been a fan of the 67 Satellite for many years. I have a beautiful 1967 fully restored Satellite in my possession for the past 25 years.Its 50 years old next year!

The exhaust system on that car was a work of art with 4 Cadillac mufflers to keep the sound level down but not restrict flow.

man,what a beautiful beast,with super cool back story and race history, those 4 mufflers are sick too. if she could only talk,cuz we know she screams! thanks for sharing this with us. penta-star strong.☆☆☆

I worked at the house of the owner today. Saw it in person!

This car makes me tingle. The man Jimmy Addison and the story behind it are what TRUE Bluecollar car guys strived to be.. Respected hands on Mopar lovers for LIFE. Tom Hoover gave the 7th day to man on that Bumper Sticker and thanks to Mr Kellog that bitch had an attitude. Oh hell yea that is the baddest GTX to ever pound the pavement.

I watched this car race on Woodward Ave when I was a little kid (7) and I will never forget it because it stomped a’66’Chevelle in that race...

My favorite Mopar for sure. I was lucky enough to see it at the Woodward Dream Cruise in '06. Piece of rolling history at it's finest.

Someone needs to make a movie about Jimmy Addison, the Silver Bullet, and the glory days of racing on Woodward in the '60s. R.I.P. Jimmy.

Love the old American Chrysler Corperation for the extremely cool things that they did.

'67 GTX is my favorite car.

A friend I grew up had a 72 Z28 but his step dad had a 67 GTX with 440 six pack but the six pack wasnt original to the car but it was still an awesome car.

i heard that it was Chrysler,s car but they put it in Jimmy,s name. so if he got in trouble,they could not trace it to Chrysler corp, What an era. Now think about the Ramchargers team. Work at Chrysler,and get paid to drag race. MOPAR

There was a car just like this that raced at Kil Kare Dragway in the 80's. I loved it.
