For Sale: 1968 Pontiac GTO in Mesa, Arizona

The right look, the right features, and plenty of V8 power all come together on this 1968 Pontiac GTO. So look over the full package of this well-done muscle car hardtop.


The 1968 coupe launched the second gen GTO, and really brought this into a whole new category of muscle car. The color-matched Endura front end, dual hood scoops, correct badging, and big dual exhaust tips are all about intimidation. And not only do you get a pillarless hardtop profile, but also 1968 launched a true fastback style for the muscle car coupe. The Solar Red is the factory-correct color, and so you found a GTO that has been bold from day one. There's also a hint of upper-class within this sporty style thanks the mirror-like shine of the rear chrome bumper, and the taut fit of the premium black vinyl roof. And the Rally II wheels do great job of adding to both the speedy and stylish look.


Not only do you have a bold red exterior, but also that attitude continues inside. And the trim tag tells us this GTO was born with this attractive all-red combo. There's a stock and clean look on the upholstery, carpeting, headliner, and dash. So it's easy to show off this car's bold style. There are even some nice features that will have people wanting to go for a ride, like the upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo, upgraded Sony speakers, and factory air conditioning (blower will need servicing before this is functional again.) And as a true GTO, this was built for a terrific driving experience. You slide into a proper bucket seat, grab the wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel, and gaze at a full round gauge panel. Looking for the tach? It's on the hood for a classic head-up style unit that Pontiac made famous.


It wouldn't be a '68 GTO without the big 400 cubic-inch V8 under the hood. It has a classic look with the correct Pontiac turquoise on the block and an air grabber w/callout. But as you get closer, you see this mighty V8 was upgraded for even more power. This has performance upgrades like a four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and Hooker long tube headers that add even more power while also contributing to the rumble of the dual exhaust. It's a strong runner, and it comes with great cruising features. This includes the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, front discs, and wide BF Goodrich T/As.


The sale comes complete with plenty of paperwork, including Pontiac Historic Services (PHS) documentation, original warranty card, a reproduction buildsheet, and owner's manual. So now you know you're looking at a bold real-deal classic GTO with a quality price. Don't let this deal slip away, call today!
