Wikipedia
 
The Plymouth GTX was introduced as the Belvedere GTX in 1967 by the Plymouth division to be a "gentleman's" muscle car. The GTX was to be an exceptional blend of style and performance. What differentiated it from a normal Belvedere was its special grille and rear fascia, shared with the Satellite, chrome "pit stop" fuel filler cap and optional racing stripes. For the performance aspect of the vehicle, a heavy duty suspension system was made standard. Standard too was Plymouth's 440 cu in (7.2 L) V8 called the "Super Commando 440". The engine was rated at 375 hp. Buyers in 1967 could pay an extra US$546 and replace the 440 with Chrysler's 426 cu in (7.0 L) Hemi. The 426 was nicknamed the "Elephant."

:toy: Super nice. Look at all the extra detailing on the side/rear/front to make this GTX really stand out! Friend in high school had a grey one with flat black hood and the 440 package - man could that car move! I really like this version from JL - I can hear the rumble from the engine!

I was really happy when Johnny Lightning released this casting. I have enjoyed it ever since, and appreciate that JL tackled the convertible and the coupe. This was an excellent choice, Ethanator, and one I was surprised to learn hadn't been featured yet!
