Dodge GTX V8

The Chrysler Corporation was active in Argentina during the ’60s and the ’70s. Producing several models aimed directly at the local market. Their biggest and most luxurious offering was the Dodge GT. A Dodge Dart-based sedan with better equipment powered by the famous 225 Slant Six engine. The car left the factory in 1968, but in 1970, Chrysler Argentina decided to present the correct muscle version in the form of the GTX (via Escuderia).

Borrowing the name from the eponymous Plymouth car, the GTX was also a luxury muscle car. At least for South American standards of the day with power windows and air conditioning as standard. It featured a cool-looking coupe body and an optional 318 V8. Which delivered 212 HP or 230 HP depending on the model year and transformed this Dodge into one of the most powerful domestic cars of the period. The production lasted until 1973, and due to its high price, the GTX was and is very rare.
