The original Plymouth GTX: The third generation (1970-1971)
The original Plymouth GTX, which served as the inspiration for this model, belongs to the third generation and was built from 1970 to 1971. The Plymouth GTX was a vehicle originally developed as a high-performance version of the Plymouth Belvedere. The design of the Plymouth GTX 1970-71 was created by John E. Herlitz and Jeff Godshall. The GTX is known for its powerful engine options, including the renowned 426 Hemi V8 engine capable of producing up to 425 horsepower. Its predecessor was the Plymouth Satellite. The focus of the technical design was on performance and style, with a wide range of powerful V8 engines and an aggressive styling that showcased its muscular lines.
Interesting Events of the Year 1970
For a better understanding of the era in which the original Plymouth GTX was introduced, here are some significant events from the year 1970. The Vietnam War was in full swing, and the Beatles officially broke up. Also, the classic "Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Simon & Garfunkel was released. These examples are meant to provide context for the age of the vehicle.
