Description
1968 Plymouth GTX RS23 | 440 Big Block | 43k Miles | Bright Blue Metallic
This 1968 Plymouth GTX is a true high-performance Mopar muscle car, presented in Bright Blue Metallic over a matching blue interior and powered by a 440ci Super Commando V8.

Offered at no reserve, it combines factory pedigree, raw big-block power, and unmistakable late-’60s street presence.
