About this 1969 Plymouth GTX

VIN: RS27L9G172760

This 1969 Plymouth GTX Convertible represents one of the rarest and most desirable combinations in Mopar muscle car history. According to the seller, this vehicle is one of just 700 GTX convertibles produced for the 1969 model year—and more significantly, one of only 53 equipped from the factory with air conditioning. The GTX was introduced in 1967 as Plymouth's upscale muscle car, positioned above the popular Road Runner and marketed as the "Gentleman's Hot Rod" that combined luxury appointments with serious performance.

Key characteristics:

  • Originality: Described as having undergone a rotisserie restoration and featured in Muscle Car Review magazine
  • Engine: Correct date-coded 440 Super Commando V8 (375 horsepower), the standard engine offering for 1969
  • Transmission: Original VIN-matching 727 TorqueFlite three-speed automatic
  • Drivetrain: 8-inch rear axle with 3.23 gears, numbers-matching per the seller
  • Exterior: Scorch Red with black lower body accents and matte black performance hood stripes
  • Interior: Black bucket seats, woodgrain trim, rare six-way adjustable driver's seat, factory tachometer, 8-track player
  • Options: Factory air conditioning, power steering, power brakes, power convertible top, Magnum 500 wheels
  • Verified documentation: Original fender tag and hidden VIN stamp still in place

According to the seller, this restoration maintains high originality standards while incorporating modern conveniences for drivability—most notably an upgraded Edelbrock carburetor with electric choke and dual electric cooling fans added for the air conditioning system. The 6,294 miles shown represent the distance since restoration completion.

Market Context:

The Plymouth GTX - 2nd Gen market shows strong interest in these vehicles. Based on recent comparables, GTX convertibles have traded from the mid-$40,000s to over $95,000 depending on condition, options, and documentation. The seller notes this represents a "blue chip investment grade Mopar," a claim supported by the GTX's status as one of the most limited-production Plymouth performance cars of the era. With only 700 convertibles built in 1969 and an unknown number of survivors, factory air-conditioned examples in restored condition with matching drivetrains represent a tiny fraction of remaining muscle cars from this period. The seller also points to the car's feature in Muscle Car Review magazine and its display at the Volo Museum as evidence of its presentation quality and significance.
