1-of-1 1970 Plymouth GTX 440 Six Barrel 4-Speed Discovered In Canada

Key Points:

• A rare 1970 Plymouth GTX with a 440 Six Barrel V8, four-speed manual transmission, and an exceptionally rare factory-painted black roof was discovered in Espanola, Ontario, and acquired by the Mopars5150 crew.
• This GTX is believed to be the only known 1970 model combining the V02 two-tone paint code (Deep Burnt Orange Metallic body with a black painted roof) with the 440 Six Barrel engine, making it a potential one-of-one configuration.
• Originally painted single-color, the black roof was restored after the owner, Brian Dugan, discovered the factory two-tone designation on the fender tag, revealing the car's unique specification.
• Plymouth built only 350 Six Barrel GTXs paired with a four-speed manual transmission in 1970, and while this GTX’s original engine is replaced, it retains a period-correct replacement engine and its original transmission.
• The car’s history traces through Western Canada, with various correct parts sourced during restoration; Mopars5150 spent nearly 10 hours inspecting the vehicle before purchasing it, considering it a usable muscle car with a significant place in Mopar history.
