Dodge GTX
car model
The Dodge GTX is a muscle car manufactured by Chrysler-Fevre Argentina S.A. under the Dodge brand. One of few muscle cars made in Argentina, the hardtop performance coupé was based on the 1960/66 platform A (Early A-Body).
The GTX was first presented in October 1970 as a replacement for the Dodge GT sedan model. The Dodge Polara and its evolved R/T version were later evolutions of this package.
It was originally featured equipped with an inline 6-cylinder Slant-Power A-119 engine, which was originally used in the Dodge GT sedan, mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox. Later this engine would be supplanted by a 318 cubic inch V8, which would end up becoming distinctive for this model, until the end of its production in 1979.
A version of this car has competed in the Turismo Carretera motorsport championship since the 1970s, winning eight out of ten titles in the 1980s fitted with its "Slant Six" engine. In the 1990s, the GTX and its IKA-Renault counterpart were fitted with AMC Cherokee engines to remain competitive against the Ford and Chevrolet models.
History
Precedent
In 1968, Chrysler-Fevre Argentina S.A. had launched a new line of sedans, all of them based on the same exclusive body design for the Argentine market, which was a development based on the third generation North American Dart (63/66) or the Valiant already sold in Argentina previously. In the first place and for a short period of time the Dodge Valiant would be launched, it was a basic sedan with little equipment, in some cases they even lacked radio, they also sported 13" steel wheels with hubcap, soon after it was discontinued to fill the range with three well distinguished models, first the Taxi version, then the Polara with a little more equipment and an improved interior to end the Dodge line with a more luxurious model named "Coronado", from this last model the Dodge came off the GT, a luxury sedan developed with sporty performance, this model was equipped with a 3687cm3 (225 cubic inch) Chrysler Slant-Power A-119 engine, with a compression ratio of 8.4: 1 (the highest in the range) and capable of delivering 155HP (SAE) at 4500rpm.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Dodge GTX” as car model. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as car model. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5812316. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1960, 1970, 1979 and 1968.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
