1968 Pontiac GTO

The GTO by Pontiac could quite literally be responsible for popularizing the muscle car market of the 1960’s. Furthermore if it was not for a little shadiness by none other than John DeLorean for some sneaky marketing then none of this would have taken place, but that’s a whole other conversation. With the help of Bill Collins and Russ Gee the GTO would evolve into a pavement crushing machine. The first generation was built from 1964-1967 and the second generation would follow up from 1968-1972 with the A-body platform. What we have here is a absolute stunner of a GTO convertible offered here at GR AUTO GALLERY OF TC finished off in Red over White. Originally it was Signal Red over Parchment with a Ivory white convertible top. This car is a California car still registered in the state. It has a 68 date coded 400 Cubic Inch V8 but does not appear to be numbers matching. That is also confirmed in a detailed inspection sheet that the seller had done in April 2020. This 350 HP 400 is mated to a Muncie 4-speed as indicated on the build sheet. The paint although appearing to be several years old still shines very nicely with only a couple very small blemishes. The hideaway headlights operate as they should as do all lights and gauges. This car has had a complete suspension upgrade on all four corners with fully adjustable shocks and stabilizer bars. Paint measures 16-20 mils, all the glass is in excellent condition, has a very tidy and detailed engine bay and the brightwork is also very good. Gaps and fitment appear to be very good with excellent door closings. This GTO starts, runs and drives like new with a full engine re-build with receipts in 2015.
