Encyclopedia
The Savage GT was a two-door compact/midsize car built by the company AutoCraft in either Fond du Lac
or Milwaukee, Wisconsin
from 1968 through 1969 by heavily modifying a Plymouth Barracuda
of the same years.
It had wire wheels, lake pipes, a fibreglass trunk lid with molded spoiler
, a modified grille, and a roll bar
that wraps around the outside of the seats just at the level of the seat bottom. The tail panel and grille had "Savage" badges. It was available with 340, 383, and modified 440 Magnum Chrysler
engines.
The Savage GT is featured in the December 1991 issue of Mopar Collector's Guide. In the article it states that only 10 to 13 were originally built, yet it gives no breakdown by engines nor transmission.
