GTX comes with a hemi standard. Roadrunner does not.
Actually the standard engine for the GTX was the 440-4bbl, the 426 HEMI was an option, throughout it's entire production run as a stand-alone model from 67-71'. The 440 6bbl was also available as an option in 70-71'. The GTX was considered the "Gentleman's muscle car" as it had a higher trim level and price tag.
The Road Runner in those years was initially a bare-bones/big motor version of the GTX, 383HP being the standard engine in 68', the 426 Hemi and, from 69 1/2', the 440 6bbl were optional up until 71'. It was marketed toward a younger crowd. For 72-74', with the GTX discontinued as a stand-model, Road Runners ordered with the optional 440HP engine were called a "Road Runner GTX".
The GTX appealed to a more upscale crowd, had upgraded trim and engine selections over the Road Runner, which appealed more to the budget-minded drag-racing crowd and was a much more stripped-down car by comparison.
the GTX was the upscale satellite with more options as the roadrunner was just basically a cheap performance car as some of them had no radio, no carpeting and push out rear windows.
One can purchase a Plymouth GTX on the website eBay, dependent on the model year and the distance it has already traveled the vehicle can cost between $8000 to $25000.
