My unusual Dodge: GTX from Argentina

Post by Francisco Gimenez »

Hello everyone, I'm new in the forum, but happy to become part of the group. Dodge have been in my family since I have memory, with both of my grandparents owning different models alternating between coupe and 4 doors sedans.
I'm originally from Argentina, and in there Chrysler had a factory up to 1979. Whilst they build many variants my favourite was the one I have owned for over 15 years now and could not afford to leave it, so when I moved to UK, I brought it with me!!!.
With the V8 318, electronic ignition (factory fitted) it still goes with its 212 HP, although many improvements could be made in the future!

Dodge GTX is a local design based on the American Dodge Dart, but the design took inspiration in the Dodge Charger and Plymouth GTX.

I will aim to prepare a bit more of the history of the car, but for now, I will share some pictures.

Hope you enjoy them,

Francisco
