This featured 1970 GTX is one of only 72 Hemi GTXs produced for the
1970 model year and one of only 43 built with the 18 spline “hemi” 4
speed manual transmission. Roy Gobczynski of IL has owned this rare
GTX since 1980, purchasing it from Jim Thorton of west Memphis, TN.
For the past 25 years it has been in storage, with it being started
occasionally to keep things lubricated. The odometer shows 75,659
actual miles. Roy finally brought it out of hibernation for the 2024
Moparty in Bowling Green, TN.

This 1970 hemi GTX has the original broadcast sheet and fender tag for
documentation. The original 426 cid hemi engine, 18 spline manual
transmission and Dana 60 are still with the car. It is basically identical
to when Roy bought it in 1980.

In the 1970 GTX registry database there are 48 hemi 1970 GTXs known
to exist. 13 are EB5 blue fire metallic in body color. Of those 13, only 7
came painted EB5 top and bottom. Those 7 include three that were 4
speeds and four that were automatics. Of those 7 that were painted
EB5 body and top, Roy’s is the only one known at this time to have the
P6BW (blue and white bucket seat) interior.
