Love the GTX lou !! Right down to the redline tires.! And the 4 spd., and everything else about this Mopar ! Too bad you couldn't go for a gear - slamming ride in this one ! 440, 10.25 : 1 comp. Probably, .sweet ride. ! Thanks to the owners for keeping this car looking great. And to you Lou. !

Wow Lou what a nice unit this is! Wow all original and it sure looked like it too. It sounded awesome. That was a very nice year for the GTX. That owner really loved her car and I love that when people are so excited about their car like she was. I really enjoyed this video Lou thanks for sharing!
Wow, great stance! Does anyone remember the original '67 GTX magazine ad in Hot Rod with the young lady driver standing next to her A/S Hemi GTX? And Ann's rev blew away any vestiges of covid 19 for miles around. Very cool car and very cool owner. Lou, you did it again!

MOPAR OR NOCAR BABY!!! But seriously, that car is absolutely a work of rolling art! Can't believe it looks so good after all these years, wow! Great episode once again, Lousef!
Beautiful car, superb survivor!!! Funny how the GTX started as a high end trim/performance package for the Belvedere, then it became it's own model and then later became the high end trim/performance package for the Roadrunner. Full circle I guess.

Hi WIlliam, Happy to read you think this car is very nice & sounds good too :-) Blessings, safety, and health received. Wishing you the same, and you're welcome, Lou
As always Lou you manage to bring back memories of my youth. One of my High School buddies had a 67 GTX. We graduated in 69 so it was almost new. It was the only car that would beat our librarians 66 Impala SS with a 427 and 4 speed. By the way the librarian was a little old lady but she sure could shift that 4 speed!
How did kids get such new cars to drive back then and was that the norm? I mean, these days and since like the 70's probably, kids drove beaters. Did you grow up in the city with wealthy folks?
And another thing. Could you imagine handing the keys to a car with a big block in it to your kids to drive to school? I mean, how crazy. The parents just didn't understand the power of these cars did they?
@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism They were *CHEAP* Auto manufacturers were targeting teenager, whose Daddy's were making good money. Or a kid with a good after school job could make payments, IF Daddy would cosign for the loan. The line of affordable demarcation was $3,000. These WERE dangerous cars, even for adults. And especially for a kid showing off with a few beers under his belt. This was my generation, and several kids from my high school, who at 15 or 16 were given cars like these by their Daddy's and were lost in them. Thank God, I was not one of them. I had a 67 GTO, which LOVED 100+mph. I was fortunate enough not to drink. But I was still reckless.
@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism The kid had been racing 1/4 midget and midgets from the time he was 8 years old. His dad was a used car dealer and got the car for him during his senior year.
@@mark9531 3 grand in 1968 is the same as over 22 grand in today's money though. That's not exactly cheap for a kid with an after school job was it? I just googled minimum wage, which would have been most, if not all kids after school jobs and it was apparently $1.60 an hour. I mean even if they worked 4 hours a day after school, that's only $6.40 half probably payed for insurance and gas at best even at 34 cents a gallon, a kid with a big block and lead foot is going to tear through some gas at 10mpg or less haha. There must of been a much different sense of overall income back then with more disposable income than there is today? Or perhaps it's more selfishness. You don't see parents willing to help buy kids drive 22 grand cars to school today. Different times for sure. I'm gen X late 70's born, so I of course missed the era.

'give it a litlle rev'' : WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-haMMmmmmMmmmmmmmm *Lou chuckles
A woman after my own Heart, I too felt the same way i had a 2001 C5 Corvette Convertible manual 6 spd back in 2006, Great car nothing wrong with it, but it seemed like they where all over the place at the time. I ended up selling the car and replacing it's spot in the garage with a 1975 C3 like I had had many years ago same color and options. I still have the 1975 C3 and I'm very Happy with it. You see nobody really has a really nice old one in my area especially a 75. Most people destroyed them and never saved them because everybody wanted the chrome bumper cars or the later big rear glass cars but the 74-77 C3s disappeared over the years.
Hi Lou! It's a shame that many cars like these have been Donked Out. I do like this lady's mindset on wanted something different, and the fact it had to be a 4 speed! Awesome car and video! Take care Lou.👍
Lou I had a 66 Belvedere 383 4 speed when I was young. I like the hood ornament on these models they have the cubic inch on them. Mine had the Hurst shifter not the lockout reverse like this model.
Hey lou have you made any 1980 Ford Thunderbirds videos ? I used to own a red 80 model with a 302 in it. It was red inside an outside. It was a hard top no vynol on it. Solid hard top. Bucket seats with a console with column shift. I would love to see a video of one on my car story. I love the videos you do. There great !
@@loucostabile Thanks, Lou. Seriously, maybe the best car offered I've seen here (I had a '69 Charger). Giving this to their son,,,,,makes me a little sick, sad to say.... Can't afford a Honda after buying this, Maybe a Toyota Corolla of any year. Relaible and won't get stomped to death....This car deserves better,
It was chrysler plymouth's answer to the chevelle and the fairlane..and it was..that super commando was a running beast..unstoppable unless you were being chased by the police interceptor..which has a little more power and higher ratio rear end..the mid 60's and 70's belonged to chrysler..Cheers 🍻🍻🍻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I think I would cut out the rear wheel well to open it up so it's not skirted, other than that, these look pretty cool. I'm more fan of the next gens when they made the GTX an upscaled roadrunner. Oh, ok I see, yeah just one more year and they're a much hotter looking car. That said, it is a very nice car of course and in great shape. Hope she actually takes it out and drives it some, though I'm sure like most, it's too low mile. She destined to remain simply a collector no doubt, at this point.

*Lou chuckles

A friend I grew up with his dad had same car and color except his car had black interior and he added the 6 pack manifold but I always loved that car.

Another great video Lou love watching your channel. 1967 was my favorite year of the GTX. Most that I see are automatics dont see many 4 speeds.
Hi PlymouthDuster 225, Happy to read 1967 is your favorite year :-) Lou
A woman after my own Heart, I too felt the same way i had a 2001 C5 Corvette Convertible manual 6 spd back in 2006, Great car nothing wrong with it, but it seemed like they where all over the place at the time. I ended up selling the car and replacing it's spot in the garage with a 1975 C3 like I had had many years ago same color and options. I still have the 1975 C3 and I'm very Happy with it. You see nobody really has a really nice old one in my area especially a 75. Most people destroyed them and never saved them because everybody wanted the chrome bumper cars or the later big rear glass cars but the 74-77 C3s disappeared over the years.
Hi kelly toys, Happy to read you found the right car for you :-) Thank you for viewing & sharing, Lou
Beautiful Mopar. Very nice.
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-)
I never knew Jan Brady had a GTX❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘

Hi Lou! It's a shame that many cars like these have been Donked Out. I do like this lady's mindset on wanted something different, and the fact it had to be a 4 speed! Awesome car and video! Take care Lou.👍
Hi Big Dummy, Happy to read you enjoy this video :-) My pleasure sharing with you, and you take care too, Lou
Lou I had a 66 Belvedere 383 4 speed when I was young. I like the hood ornament on these models they have the cubic inch on them. Mine had the Hurst shifter not the lockout reverse like this model.
Hi Gary, Happy to read this one brings back memories of your 66 :-) Sounds like a fun car, Lou
all cars top bro and as always like
Happy to read you like this car :-)

Love it...
Happy to read you love it :-)
Hey lou have you made any 1980 Ford Thunderbirds videos ? I used to own a red 80 model with a 302 in it. It was red inside an outside. It was a hard top no vynol on it. Solid hard top. Bucket seats with a console with column shift. I would love to see a video of one on my car story. I love the videos you do. There great !
Hi Samuel, No 80 Ford Thunderbirds on the Channel yet, Lou
Cool 😀
Happy to read you think this one is cool :-)
@@loucostabile 😀
MOPAR or no car Lou!!
Happy to share this MOPAR with you Ken InHB!
Car is beautiful ! Had to rewind to 5:34 a few times, though. Son's day car ???
Far be it for me but help the kid buy a Honda or something ;)
Hi Glen, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou
@@loucostabile Thanks, Lou. Seriously, maybe the best car offered I've seen here (I had a '69 Charger).
Giving this to their son,,,,,makes me a little sick, sad to say.... Can't afford a Honda after buying this, Maybe a Toyota Corolla of any year. Relaible and won't get stomped to death....This car deserves better,
It was chrysler plymouth's answer to the chevelle and the fairlane..and it was..that super commando was a running beast..unstoppable unless you were being chased by the police interceptor..which has a little more power and higher ratio rear end..the mid 60's and 70's belonged to chrysler..Cheers 🍻🍻🍻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Almost ripped the trunk mat and the spare tire cover board has a hold-down! Leave the touching to the owners! Nice car though
Hi John S, Say hi to your Mom for me (Your 1 Subscriber), and it's this kinda sweet talk that reminds everyone why you have 1 Subscriber, and by the way, nice blue car you have too, Stay well, Lou

Really Lou? I would expect more professionalism from a channel guy like you in your comment (and handling of other peoples cars)! Perhaps if I operated as a channel I would take the "one subscriber" comment to heart. I enjoyed the videos but will look elsewhere. Like they say in business one bad experience is remembered for a lifetime.

Jeepers, Lou! That's one lucky couple to find that beautiful beast on eBay!
Thanks for finding her & showing us such a remarkably CLEAN GTX!
Hi TomJ440, Right place at the right time for them to find this car. Timing is important, Lou
@@loucostabile indeed it is! I know on eBay, you can set up a standing search for a particular want. but still..your statement stands.
I think I would cut out the rear wheel well to open it up so it's not skirted, other than that, these look pretty cool. I'm more fan of the next gens when they made the GTX an upscaled roadrunner. Oh, ok I see, yeah just one more year and they're a much hotter looking car. That said, it is a very nice car of course and in great shape. Hope she actually takes it out and drives it some, though I'm sure like most, it's too low mile. She destined to remain simply a collector no doubt, at this point.

Lou, this little cutie was "cooing" all over you. She wasn't sure what to do when you asked her to show you "a little rumble from her rear end". I think she likes the tall, intellectual type.
Thanks for making me laugh out loud :-)
🤣🤣🤣Louse! Do NOT let your son drive this to work, what the hell lady, c'mon! Trust me on this, I was a son driving a '78 Mean'o Camino to school and work... ask my dad how that worked out.
Hi Zach Diecast Mansur, Thank you for sharing a tip :-) Lou
It's Mopar or no car 😍

A GTX was never a pokey car. Vrrooomm! Watch out for Urbandale police.
Hi Alan, Thank for sharing, and a tip too, Lou
i had one
Glad to read you had a fun car too :-)
I don't have a Hellcat.
Me either :-(
Haha, me either!
I'm about a 💯 percent sure that isn't the original paint .
Thank you for viewing & sharing.
Everyone has a Hellcat? Nope I got a survivor 85 Mustang GT Vert.

This one has no console, interesting.
Thank you for sharing what you notice.
I think you should change your middle name to "Shall We".

..did ya'll note the overflow container for the radiator?
A metal spray can with a hole punched in the top for the hose!
i used to use a 1 qt oil bottle..they never melt, even right next to the rad & can be
smushed a bit for a friction fit, between the rad & batt for eg, ahaha!
