How is a 67 GTX different from a regular Belvedere?

This is what I have come up with so far throughout my clone project.

of course either the 440 Commando or 426 Hemi
150 mph speedo vs 120mph
glovebox gtx emblem
gtx rear seat emblem
grille with the red, white, blue emblem
tail panel
tail light lenses
tail light bezels
gtx fender emblems
gtx trunk emblem
hood scoops
dual snorkel air cleaner
flip open gas cap

If anyone has anything to add, please let me know. I am trying to compile a complete list.

Check out the rocker moldings, I'm pretty sure it got them.

I could be wrong, since my Belve I (yes, the 2 door post) is half GTX...but is all the interior for 67 with the western scroll? Doorpanels too.

I need to find n X body to put all my parts on, and I've found a parts car to put my car back to normal...seems a waste to have a "clone" that's a post car....previous owner not so smart.

And yes, you need the rocker panels. I have some pics of a regular Belvedere II, and there's a couple guys on here with X's. Might be good for comparision. If you want, I'll try to upload for you.

like they said, the western scrolls
nd, since mine is read, the rear grille has red painted in between the lines
i'll post a pic to show you
since yours is purple, i think it should be purple too (i think)


was purple available in 67?

Thanks for the additional information 67 GTX. Plum Crazy is not a correct color for a 67 Plymouth. I figured that since my car is a clone and will NEVER be a real GTX, I would paint it a color that I like, so I went with the Plymouth Plum Crazy. I had heard that the suspention was differerent, but I was not sure how, so thanks for clearing that up for me. I guess my car wil be close to a GTX, but anyone with knowledge that looks close will know the difference.

No matter what, it will be a bad *** 67 B-body, it will be completely paid for, and it will be MINE!!!

I'm not sure about the '67, but on the '68/9 GTX, that red in the tail panel is a reflective tape that lights up. It's not just a paint.

Thanks Buck. I had not heard that before. I will look in to it and see what I find out. That would make logical sense.

67 GTX's only came with 440's or Hemi's.
Seems every 67 GTX i've seen had the magnum 500 wheels. Bucket seats and council. I rode in a friend's Hemi GTX. Crazy fast.
I did see a 67 gtx once that did not have the western scroll, not sure if that was original though.
Also, there was a rare option that not too many people ordered. The Hemi super stock GTX. {super rare}.

I will check out the pics of the seats. Unfortunately, the seats that were in my car were not correct as far as I can tell. I am probably going to sell them. I got a freshly upholstered set of 68 seats and a matching cover for the rear seat from www.onlineupholsteryandmore.com up there in Fort Collins, New York! 67 seats are VERY hard to find from my experience

I have attached a pic of the seats that were in the car. If anyone recognizes what they are correct for, I'd like to know. I will probably open a seperate thread for that. Someone said they look like van seats.

I'll have to resize those pics. Apparently the forum upload thing does not appreciate 12 meg resolution. >_<
