I could almost cry. On Thanksgiving eve 1966 I picked up my 67 GTX convertible at Armory Garage in Albany,NY. Drove 2 blocks down Central Avenue and stopped and put the top down and the rear glass exploded I guess since it came out of a heated showroom. It was the first year for glass in the convertible top. It had a 4 speed w/the crappy Inland shifter. It was Turbine bronze w/white interior. It started out at $3600 and ended up at $4800 which was crazy for a Plymouth. The Hemi was $654 and the Shure Lock diff on the 9&3/4" Dana rear end was $150. Found out years later in HOT ROD magazine that it was 1 of only 17 made that year with the 4 speed. The rear was 3:54 and the auto was 3:23. I had the 150 mph speedometer maxed out at 150 one time. It was the hottest car in Troy that year. I ran against a black Mustang in Schenectady the summer of 67. It was black and in white letters on the back it said "If you can beat me, You can eat me". It was supposed to be "Cha Cha" but not really sure. And no my lead sled could not compete with her 4:56 rear from light to light.
Hi Paul Irish, Happy to read this car / video brings back memories of you great car :-) Hope you see many more cars on this UA-cam Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
the Belvedere is one of my most fav MOPARS...... such beauty very nice
Hi Anna Mills, We have a Winner for you! :-) Glad you enjoyed this one, Lou
My parents had one when I was a kid,and this car was a lethal monster not to be messed with. Beautiful and classic lines,sporty n mean looking....and brutal
Hi Peter, Glad to read this car / video brings back memories of your Parents "lethal monster" :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
$4600 in today's money would be about $30,000. America of that era was producing stunning cars that everyday hard working people could afford.
They style, engine and overall finish of that car is just amazing.
That was around a year's pay for many people in those days.

My dad had a 66 charger 383 & a 69' 440 cuda'.
This car would be special in any case, but restored with all original parts in such great condition (and the $400 the owner paid for it), this may be my favorite muscle machine you have featured on My Car Story. Jim Patterson has gone a fine job keeping this car alive. A++
Hi soyounoat, "A++" High grade, NICE! Lou
For those who know me and Ave.P in Newark, NJ, those were the afternoons and nights..Racing for $20 bucks a run. Those were the moments of Mopar greatness..Real metal, real engines, @.67 a gal regular..For $4 bucks, a full tank, bag of White Castles, breath mints, rubbers, and change left over..What a life..I'm 66, still here.
Hi Lamont, Good times, good times :-) Lou
Awsome GTX! What a beauty. Great Job once again Lou. I love that the owner wasn’t scared to blow the cobb webbs out of it when giving it a rev. 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Scott Teams, Glad you enjoyed this one and think the car is "Awesome" :-) Thank you for viewing, and sharing. You're welcome, Lou
I think in a poll the 67 GTX would win the body style fav of all yr GTX's.
But maybe it's just me.
I agree. One of my all time favorites is the 67 GTX. I love the sound of the pre 1970 426 Hemi's when they still had solid lifters. AWESOME car
I agree!
I had one it look almost just like this car the color you name it but it had the 440 in it. But it wasn’t my favorite year 68 to early 70s was and try getting parts for this car you can’t find them unless it a junkyard somewhere down south I know because so 16 yr old girl hit mine after 2 weeks after getting it painted and finally restored after like 4 yrs of work as I could afford it. They had to get all the parts from a junkyard I think they made a little over 5 thousand of this year so it hard to get anything for it. Unless it changed from when I had mine like 20 yrs ago. Kids come and the rest is history many know how that works. A little over 22 23 yrs ago I sold that car for 57 hundred dollars at that time that was a lot at that time for a old muscle car. Now you get junk for that much.
Hi Bob Bob, Happy to read you enjoy the design of this car :-) Lou
What can you say. But. Nice......
Its a GTX. And its a Hemi..........
And its a 4 Speed. Everybody's
Dream Car............
Glad to read you think this car is a "Dream Car" :-) Lou
The restoration quality is AMAZING, and the hemi sounds incredible with a super smooth idle. This car ticks all the boxes to be a great muscle car of the sixties.
Hi Fabio, Happy to read you appreciate the condition of this car an the smoothness of the Hemi engine too :-) Lou
This is one of the only videos I have to hear my dads laugh and voice! Thank you for posting it years ago! RIP daddy :(
Hi Anett, Happy to read we are both able to share this fun time we had together :-) Lou
Paid $400 but invested at least 40K restoring it. I love the GTX since I saw my first as a teenager in 67.
Happy to read you "love the GTX" :-)
$400? That is a great car offer. Restoring a car that probably had tons of rust came out to be this very clean well cared car. The elegant, wonderful paint and chrome shines everyone's dear eyes... Wow. Interior in black... I see tons of 60s, 70s cars with the black leather interiors, Wonderful, it is. Engine sound? No problem... It's a great sound, John.
Hi John Roberts, Thank you for sharing the details you enjoyed on this one :-) Lou
John Roberts, John the car was a rust free car that been in southern Colorado since 1968. The car still had 1973 lic plates on it when I found it. The car spun a rod bearing in that year and the engine was partially pulled apart then it just sat until 1980. The car had to only been driven six years if it broke in 73, and was in relatively in good shape, all the body panels, floor and truck are original to the car. The car was not rotisserie restored, only a paint job and underside detail, the car had just a few minor dings in it. All the chrome and trim original to the car, when I restore it in 1986 nothing was available for these cars, I had to redo what I had, or find new old stock. Which the grille was the only new old stock item I put on. I rebuilt the engine, the drivetrain and suspension and drove it a couple years before I repainted it, I figured after I did I would not drive it as much anymore, especially being a silver car, it would be hard to match up the paint if something happened.
every time I see 1 of these Plymouth that my father would not let me buy and I am 63 years old I still feel the pain
Hi Vincent Brown, It's time to go out and get yours :-) Lou
The 1965-1967 Belvedere models, Satellite and GTX are a beautiful clean design. RIP Plymouth. FYI definition of belvedere: a structure (such as a cupola or a summerhouse) designed to command a view. It derives from two Italian words, bel, which means "beautiful," and vedere, which means "view." The term has been used in English since the 1570s.
Hi rizzle razzleuno, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge. I learned something, Lou
The 1966 Dodge Coronet 440 and this Beauty are one of my favourite Cars.
Wonderful😍😍😍😍😍
Hi Ricarda, Happy to read this is a favourite of yours :-) Lou
AWESOME GTX. My fav is the 71' but the 67's body lines are just right. STRONG Hemi there!!!!
Hi glen cyr, Glad you enjoyed this one and gave the car an "AWESOME" :-) Hope you see many more cars on the Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
Blissful line and length. Fabulous Chrysler.
High praise Simon :-)
What can I say Lou? Another great interview with an owner of a great piece of automotive history.
Thank you Chuckles9191991, Glad you enjoyed this one.
A friend I grew up with had a cool car he had a 1972 Z28 but his dad had a 67 GTX and I loved that car he didn't have a hemi but he did put the 6 pack manifold on his 440 and besides that the car was original and looked like new.
Hi yavin99, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Friend & his Dads car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou

Glad you enjoyed this one :-) Nice!
How could anything be better than a hemi so very fast
It's a good one for sure :-)
I bought a 1971 Charger SE with a 440 in it for $1300 in 1977. I wish i still had it. Not a hemi, but quite a car. I was a kid, though, and could not afford the insurance.
Hi dsteele27, Sounds like some wonderful memories :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing, and adding to the story, Lou
God Bless and Blessed the design engineers that came up with such a BEAUTIFUL design from right out of their heads!
Amen!

Hi Hisham Elfiki, Glad you enjoyed this one :-) Hope you have a great day, and Merry Christmas to you, Lou
$400 for a hemi GTX, that's a riot! I remember one of my friend's father bringing home a new 67 Belvedere 1 wagon (he lived on the same less affluent side of town as myself). Even though it was bare bones, it did have a nice 318 and torqueflite transmission...Surely put out 230CI six/powerglide Malibu to shame. I felt sorry for poor Mr. Mutter, he managed to scruff up the right rear quarter panel on some tarred up wooden parking divider the second day they owned it! I still remember watching the poor guy trying to get the tar scrapes off the fender with turpentine while Mrs. Mutter was scolding him....It's funny the things we remember as kids...
Ahhhh those fun memories :-)
I like that the gage says "Gasoline"
:-)
Absolutely rockin Belvidere! Loaded with cool features n looks. Pretty perfect deal he got for such a great ride, well worth the wonderful restoration!! If I had this sweet thing I'd def drive it too, it's a total winner! Love the sweet heart on it! Best for me is the amazing sound, got a roarrrr I love to hear!! Super car and vid! Thank you

Wow - looks like it just rolled off the assembly line. I think the HEMI was about $650 as an option. A lot of money in '67. But worth every cent!

I'm sorry to read this.
I have an acquaintance who had one of these same color and all. He brought it to the shop I work at for an alignment and on his way home he had a fire under the hood!! The fireman refused to open the had with their gloved hands instead they used those axe/pry bar combo tool and did way more damage than the fire. From that point on he decided to always have a fire extinguisher in the car and I now do the same!
Hi Thomas Hoyt, Ouch! Sorry to read what happened. Sounds like a lesson learned, Lou
I would REALLY,REALLY appreciate owning a car like this. I am a lifetime MOPAR car nut with no money........SAD.
Hope you're behind the right MOPAR for you soon :-)

Hi Mark, If you stop by some cars shows, and see one of these, and talk to the person who owns it, there is a high probability if you ask, the person would give you a ride, Lou
Lou you are an aquired taste, but brother I love your style. You love these cars and that's obvious. And you love (The Story)
Hi Bob Bob, "Lou you are an acquired taste" You're accurately too kind :-) Glad you're along for the ride, Lou

One SWEET car,,,
Glad you enjoy the looks of this car Steve Trainer :-)
Question....... Was the tag under the hood originally affixed to the car using phillips head screws? I would think that would be easy to steal if that's the case. I LOVE the old Dodges and Plymouths. They were rolling art back in the day. Great video as usual Lou. Thanks man.
Hi Mike Lunn, Thank you for the kind words on the video, and happy to read your comments on the car. :-) I just checked on another 1967 and see Phillips head screws on the tag on this one too, Enjoy! Lou ua-cam.com/video/mQvTzQDDLTs/v-deo.html
Love it.Muscle car for the family man or traveling salesman.
Happy to read you "Love it" :-)
Nice :)
Glad you enjoyed this one :-)
OUT OF SIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!!
COOL :-)
The J is in the Vin# NOT on the fender tag in 1967. The number 73 designates the Hemi Engine on the fender tag. The owner should have known this.

@@loucostabile i was 15 in 1967 and remember being enthralled with the GTX at our small local dealership. Out of all the wonderful iterations of muscle in that short time span, the 327 SS Nova and 426 Hemi GTX stood out.
Phillip head screws on the gas cap are incorrect
