"When Plymouth decided to apply airplane-inspired “fuselage” styling to their range of intermediate cars, they took it to the next level on with the GTX by adding intricate twin tailpipes that vaguely resemble jet engines. This car shares its styling with the related Satellite coupe and the more spartan Road Runner, but understatement doesn’t play a role in the over-the-top GTX. Loud and proud, the high-performance Plymouth wears a contrasting vinyl roof on the semi-fastback design, a large rear-deck spoiler, and plenty of “GTX” badging. Looks aren’t the only outrageous part of the GTX—when equipped with the rarely-optioned 426 Street HEMI engine option, the GTX is good for 425 horsepower, more than enough to run the quarter in the 14s. Less than 3,000 GTXs were produced in 1971, and a very small amount left the lot with this configuration, one of the best implementations of Mopar’s “Elephant Motor.” If you were interested in going around a corner rather than simply blasting down the strip, the stiff suspension and wider rear track make the 1971 GTX a noticeably better handler than the car it replaced. Unfortunately, as the muscle car wars wound down, 1971 proved to be the last year of the GTX."—Official description[1]

Synopsis[]
As a large-displacement muscle car produced by Plymouth, it is one of the highest trim levels available in the muscle car segment, available as a trim option on the Satellite-Road Runner platform, combining both the luxury features of the Satellite with the performance options of the Road Runner.
The 1971 model year received a complete makeover, ditching the previous boxy design in favour of a new design incorporated a coke-bottle style, which made the car more aerodynamic and streamlined, as well as appearing sleeker overall. As the fuel crisis loomed on the horizon, 1971 would be the last year of the GTX before being discontinued in favor of the luxury-oriented Satellite and bare-bone performance-oriented Roadrunner as individual cars.
