Overview

This is the remarkable true story of the legendary Silver Bullet-a 1967 Plymouth GTX built by Jimmy Addison with significant support from Chrysler. Originally a test mule for Plymouth and Dodge muscle car enhancements like the 440 Six Pak, this GTX was slated for destruction, as all test vehicles were. However, Chrysler engineers and promotions managers had other plans. In late 1968, they quietly handed the car over to Addison-minus its motor and transmission-defying convention and paving the way for an automotive legend. With Chrysler's help, Jimmy transformed the GTX into the fastest street-legal car in America. For three thrilling years, it reigned supreme on the streets and dragstrips, remaining undefeated despite fierce challenges from rivals. But this isn't just a Mopar story. It dives deep into the colorful characters from Pontiac, Ford, and Chevrolet, who roared down Detroit's world-famous Woodward Avenue and surrounding drag strips.
