Vehicle Description
For sale in our Denver showroom is a 1968 Pontiac GTO, need we say
more? General Motors redesigned its A-body line for 1968, with more
curvaceous, semi-fastback styling. The wheelbase was shortened to
112.0 in on all two-door models. Overall length was reduced 5.9
inches and height dropped half an inch, but overall weight was up
about 75 lb. Pontiac abandoned the familiar vertically stacked
headlights in favor of a horizontal layout, but made hidden
headlights available at extra cost. The concealed headlights were a
popular option. The signature hood scoop was replaced by dual
scoops on either side of a prominent hood bulge extending rearward
from the protruding nose. Concealed windshield wipers, which
presented a cleaner appearance hidden below the rear edge of the
hood, were standard on the GTO and other 1968 GM products after
having been originally introduced on the 1967 Pontiac Grand Prix.
This beautiful classic is painted in a metallic silver flake which
pops in the sunshine. Looking inside the car you'll notice black
vinyl bucket seats that sit very comfortably. Under the hood is a
400 CID V8 350 HP engine backed by a 4-spd manual transmission. The
engine has roughly 44,000 miles since it was rebuilt. While it's
not number's matching, it sure runs great and sounds even better.
Options include: AM/FM radio, power brakes, power steering, vinyl
seats, seat belts, and radial tires. This Pontiac is ready for new
adventures. Where would you drive it first? To view the car in
