4. Dodge GTX V8
The Chrysler Corporation was active in Argentina during the ’60s and the ’70s. In fact, they produced several models for the local market. Chrysler’s biggest, most luxurious offering was the Dodge GT. It was a Dart-based sedan with updated equipment and the famous 225 slant six engine.
They introduced the GT in 1968. However, in 1970, Chrysler Argentina presented a proper muscle version, the Dodge GTX. Borrowing the name from the eponymous Plymouth car, the Dodge GTX was a luxury muscle car by South American standards. It came with power windows and air conditioning as standard, too.
It also featured a cool-looking coupe body. Drivers could get the optional 318 V8 delivering 212 HP or 230 HP, depending on model year. This transformed this Dodge into one of the most powerful domestic cars of the period. Production lasted until 1973, but due to its high price, they didn’t make many GTX cars.
