1969 GTX
The changes made to the GTX in 1969 were relatively minor. While this was a popular car, its sales were not what they should have been. However, this had little to do with the overall styling and more to do with the fact that the Road Runner was introduced this year and was significantly less expensive.
Regardless of the statistics, the 1969 GTX is a sharp car that offered many options to car lovers. 1969 was the last year that the convertible option on the GTX was offered and that model is a serious collector’s item.
As far as other changes went on the GTX, the grill and the taillights were updated, giving the car an interesting front and back end over other model years.
Engine options stayed the same with the standard 440 cubic inch 375 hp big block engine and the 425 hp 426 cubic inch Hemi. As far as engineered changes went, the GTX did receive an upgraded suspension for performance and bigger brakes. These were two changes that were welcomed by the racing community.
All in all, there was relatively little news about the GTX in 1969. Today, some models are heavily sought after, but it is found that the Road Runner is still the preferred choice from Plymouth in 1969.
