Car: Plymouth GTX
Year: 1970
What makes it special: The GTX was introduced as the Belvedere GTX in 1967 by the Plymouth division. It was positioned as a mid-sized upscale-trimmed performance muscle car through the 1971 model year. The 1970 GTX received a minor redesign with a new grille and rear taillights. Sales were low as the car did not look much different from the Road Runner. Stylists made the lines smoother, and a “power bulge” hood was introduced, as well as non-functional rear brake air scoops. The convertible body style was no longer available.
What made it famous: The Air Grabber hood returned, but instead of having two narrow openings running length-wise as in 1969, it had one opening scoop located on the power bulge. The GTX was available with the standard 440 4-barrel carburetor. Optional were the 440+6 barrel, consisting of three 2-barrel carburetors, and the 426 Hemi V8’s. In keeping with the GTX marketing strategy, the 1970 model included many standard features.
Why I would want one: I love the Road Runner for it’s raw, factory Hot-Rod design, but for that same power but creature comforts, I love the GTX, even though the added comforts slow it down slightly due to added weight.
Fun fact: The GTX was positioned as a “Gentleman’s Muscle Car.”

Car: Dodge Magnum GT
Year: 1979
What makes it special: Dodge’s Magnum model debuted for the 1978 model year to supplement the Charger model, and was available in either the “XE” or “GT” versions. Magnum was the last of Chrysler’s B-platform models. It featured four rectangular headlights that sat behind clear, retractable covers, narrow Opera style rear quarter windows and your choice of optional T-bar or power sunroof.
What made it famous: The Dodge Magnum was a well-appointed car that featured power steering, brakes and seats. It was a performer with adjustable longitudinal torsion bars, lower trailing links and front and rear anti-sway bars. Base powerplant was the lean-burn 318 V8, with either a two- or four-barrel 360 or 400 cu in V8 were optional. The GT model sported a rear “GT” stripe.
Why I would want one: I like it because it’s not very common. It being a GT model makes it even cooler.
Fun fact: The Magnum was kind of a rounded-off Charger, and was created in response to getting a car eligible for NASCAR qualification, seeing as the Magnum was more aerodynamic while the Charger wasn’t.

Car: Ford Falcon Sprint Convertible
Year: 1963
What makes it special: Produced for model years 1960 to 1970, Ford’s Falcon spanned three generations. It was available in two and four-door sedans, two- and four-door wagons, a two-door hardtop, convertible, paneled sedan delivery and Ranchero pick-up.
What made it famous: For the 1963 model year, Falcon had even more models available to buyers. Joining the line-up were a four-door Futura and Deluxe wagon, Futura convertible and Futura sports convertible models, and eventually the Sprint model was introduced later that year. Halfway through the 1963 model year the Fairlane’s 164hp, “Challenger” 260 cu in V8 became available for the Falcon.
Why I would want one: I am a fan of all things Ford Falcon. I want them all. All years, all styles.
Fun fact: For years, the Falcon name was also used on passenger versions of the Ford Econoline van.
