if I wasn't committed to a car. I might make an offer on this one. It pretty much clicks all my boxes One of my all time favorite color combos, AND factory air is a HUGE bonus to me When 1st listed this car was listed for $65 k, which I knew was to high. It dropped to this in about a week ,Still to high IMO, but its getting closer to reality I think https://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-Plymouth-GTX/303652352282

That IS a nice one - looks very well done with not much to complain about. Would be nice at that asking price to see more photos of the important details, at least trunk interior & more undercarriage. I'll guess the column-shift-haters will show up soon...

That GTX is really nice! Only thing i would say anything about is, a few pieces of interior don't quite color match, but not a deal breaker.

Agreed, And yes, I would actually prefer a column shift car myself . But its not like we can special order a 40 plus year old car .

Ive seen an A4 silver car with white interior. It just doesn't have the same pizazz the red does,,,at least not to me.
BUT<,,,,,,,I will admit I'm a sucker for red interior in anything. The only thing to make it better would be black exterior. Now THATS my all time favorite color combination
A friend of mine owns an A4 silver 1969 GTX ( also factory air car ) with pewter interior . Its not bad but to me silver with red just goes very well together

Yeah, something about a contrast using red just pops. 2 of the nicest color combos I've owned: Red '68 Charger, white int, no VT...bonus, 4-speed. And Q5 '69 RR, white interior. Column 727 and I didn't mind it, but if it was a 4-speed I'd likely still own it. Loved the Orange/orange combo in my '71 Duster, though a couple friends didn't "get it". Yes, it's hard to find a car that's exactly what you would have ordered - only pulled that off a few times, long ago - and getting more difficult every year it seems. Had lots of column-auto cars, kind of a bonus in certain situations

Black with red interior on certain Mopars are just perfect, ie: '62/63/64/65 Plymouth-Dodge B bodies. I had the chance to buy a '63 Plymouth Belvedere in the early 90's. It was originally black, but was at that time painted red, with the original red bench seat interior, still in place. It had a modified 440 big block with a push button trans. It was a nice car, but I passed on it, for certain reasons. One car I didn't pass on was a Q5 with with white interior '69 Dart. Wishing now I had kept that one.

If I was seriously interested. I would go upper $40s . But don't think I personally would go over $50k for it . But, I'm cheap and will not pay that much for a 440 car , regardless of color combo. Far to many choices out there at the over 50k price point right now I have a deposit on another car so I'm out anyway

Look where it is located, a semi diverse population. So who knows about the sellers ethnic background.
Im sure someone has to know of the car and maybe even the owner.
STOP POTATO HATE!

I love it too. Automatic, column shift, with a/c. Checks boxes for me that usually don't all get checked. I'm torn between '69 and '70. Normally I love the B5 and B7 with black interior but with this interior color the combo is beautiful.
Facts are stubborn things.

Shouldn't this car have an unsilenced air cleaner? Distributor drive gear installed about 45 degrees off?
