Hi all, the time has come to let my GTX go. If I could get opinions on the value, that'd be great.
The car is in the UK but please evaluate it as if it was in the US since I can ship it.
Here's how I'm planning the AD with all the info, and some pictures.
The only thing that's not original is the Air Grabber hood and the 6 pack.

Matching Numbers

Get ready to own a piece of automotive history with this stunning 1970 Plymouth GTX.
Not only part of the American Muscle car history, but also a legend in the UK.
This little monster muscle car is powered by the beastly 440+6 engine – 7.2L
The matching numbers confirm its authenticity, making this a true collector’s item.
The gold interior adds a touch of class and luxury to the already bold and aggressive exterior, offering both comfort and style. Not often you’ll find a car that combines power, rarity, and beauty in one package.
If you are a collector or a muscle car enthusiast, this 1970 Plymouth GTX is sure to turn heads anywhere you go. It isn’t just a car – it’s an experience, and piece of history.
Writing all this makes me want to keep it. LOL. Serious enquiries only.
I have loads of pictures, happy to send it and/or take new ones.
Here’s a bit of history:
This is an original 70 GTX built in August 1969.
Originally a 4 barrel 440. Alpine white. Black vinyl roof. Old stripe coach work trim.
no Airgrabber hood car. It is one of only 7202 ever produced and there are only 4 known examples in the UK!
Car has been owned by Dave Billadeau for 21 years winning several trophies and ran a best ET of 9.80 @ 139mph at the 2007 Open Sports Nationals with the all aluminium 572ci HEMI engine producing over 800hp! . This car featured in classic American magazine issue 264 (April 2013)
Specifications and equipment:
Engine is a matching numbers block. Forged pistons. Scat rods. 06 heads. stainless valves.
Compcams springs. retainers & locks. Crane rocker arms. Aluminium 6BBL intake with X3 Holley carbs.
HP exhaust manifolds. Dynoed @ 417 HP/505 ft/lbs torque (through cast manifolds)
Transmission: All fresh rebuild. turbo action full manual valve body. Frank Lupo torque converter.
Axle8. 75 inch-489 casing. 3. 55 Richmond gears. Sure-Grip. 7290 U. J's.
Interior: Legendary gold interior and carpets.
Wheels: 7x15 & 8x15 Rallye wheels.
Exhaust: 3 inch Flowmaster.
History of the numbers matching block by Dave Billadeau:
“GTX came into the uk in 88 via George Chiles and it ran 12.80s.
George then put the 440 in his 72 cuda.
Howard Holmes bought the Cuda.
Jon Turner bought the cuda(Green fish), raced it with various engines, before selling the #s 440 to Jon Connolly, who sold it to Pete Wiseman.
I bought the 440 for my 70 air grabber road runner project car.
I noticed it was a 69 casting, so a nice date coded block for the 70 road runner.
And for fun I checked the VINs on both the GTX and runner, the 440 is the original for the GTX, never been blown up, despite being raced for years.
It was still standard bore(it’s now at .030”).
That’s why I retired the GTX from racing and put the numbers match engine back in.
Unbelievable but true.” "
Thank you.
