Vehicle Description
It's not just that you're looking at a rare 1968 Pontiac GTO
Convertible. This is also a highly documented muscle car that can
prove its originally, right down to its big V8 and red-on-red
appeal. So dig into the details on something quite authentic and
awesome.
This is a sunshine-friendly convertible, so it just seems fitting
to have a factory color called Solar Red. It was given a respray
later in life, and the modern clearcoat gives it a nice luster that
people will admire at stoplights. Hidden headlights, dual hood
scoops, and large dual exhaust tips give this the proper GTO
attitude. We especially love the Rally II wheels with the redline
tires to match the car's color. But while this is a great muscle
machine, you're going love it for its history, too. After all,
you're looking at a car that has averaged less than 1,200 miles
annually. While this has passed the half-century mark, the sheet
metal shows the right signs of being all-original. Its alignment is
also a testament to quality care.
While the black convertible roof is in top condition, with the flip
of a switch, it powers down to reveal an even more attractive red
interior. There's even a red boot cover so that you can get a true
full red presentation inside and out once the roof is down. With
such low mileage, you can see a well-preserved interior with just
the right investments to keep it well-preserved and appealing GTO.
The bucket seats have a premium center console in-between, and
you'll love that this has a proper Hurst dual-gate shifter. The
factory steering wheel is also in red, and this thin/grippy unit
gives you a clear view to the sporty round gauge package. This one
even still has the factory hood tach for display. This came with
plenty of premium options, so you not only have the power
convertible top, but also the rare power window feature. That means
you never have to leave the driver's seat to go from enclosed
comfort to a wind-in-your-hair experience. The factory air
conditioning was even upgraded to R134a, but it will need a new
servicing if you feel like an added cool breezed with the top
up.
When you have the numbers-matching 400 cubic-inch V8 under the
hood, you want it to look as authentic as this. In fact, it's hard
to find anything out of place, and there are just a few of the
right worthwhile additions, like the MSD ignition and distributor.
And while there's a Holley four-barrel carburetor on top, the
original carb also comes with the sale. The big V8 is mated to the
numbers-matching TH400 three-speed automatic transmission, which is
a stout unit ideally paired with the dual-gate shifter. Plus, power
steering, power brakes, and adjustable rear shocks make it easy to
enjoy this GTO.
The impressive paperwork file includes the original window sticker,
factory buildsheet, bill of sale, dealer invoice, warranty card,
owner's manual, title documentation, maintenance records, build
receipts, and PHS Documentation. This is the legendary muscle
machine that has rare features, the best original pieces, and
outstanding documentation. It's a Pontiac with pedigree, and so you
know you don't want to miss this deal. Call now!
