Incredible Barn Find! A 425 BHP 1968 Plymouth Hemi GTX

Key Points:

• A rare 1968 Plymouth Hemi GTX convertible, one of only 24 automatic Hemi convertibles made that year, was discovered in a barn in Scottsville, New York, where it had been stored undisturbed for over 50 years.
• The GTX was Plymouth's top-trim muscle car featuring a 426 cubic inch 425 bhp Hemi V8 engine, known for its drag strip dominance; only 36 convertibles were built with the Hemi engine, making it one of the rarest muscle cars of 1968.
• This barn-find example retains its original matching-numbers Hemi engine and TorqueFlite automatic transmission, has been mechanically recommissioned, and includes original and new parts such as a rebuilt engine, new brake components, and a convertible top.
• The 1968 GTX was marketed as a "gentleman’s muscle car," offering upscale features and performance, with the Hemi option costing an additional $604.75 at the time; it could run a quarter-mile in 14 seconds at over 96 mph.
• The car is set to be auctioned by Mecum in late July, providing collectors a rare opportunity to acquire a historically significant and well-preserved example of this classic American muscle car.
