The Pontiac GTO has always been a very popular and sought after
automobile among muscle car and classic car enthusiasts alike. The
GTO was originally introduced in 1964 as a high performance trim
package on the Pontiac LeMans until 1966 when it became its own
model. 1968 was the first year for the second generation GTO and
along with it came a massive cosmetic redesign of the popular
muscle car. The GTO now featured a curving semi-fastback roofline,
dual inlet hood scoops, and the popular color matched Endura front
bumper. This 1968 Pontiac GTO convertible is an excellent example
of these iconic muscle cars with just under 99000 actual miles and
is 1 of 766 GTO's built for the 1968 model year featuring the High
Output 400 cubic inch V8 and 4-speed manual transmission. This GTO
benefits from an older restoration that still presents very well.
The GTO is finished in its factory correct Verdoro Green exterior
that is in overall excellent condition. The Verdoro Green exterior
is nicely complimented by the GTO's factory chrome and stainless
trim, dual air inlet hood scoops, factory correct hood mounted
tachometer, GTO emblems, trunk mounted Hurst emblem and period
correct PMD rally II wheels wrapped in redline BFGoodrich
Silvertown Radial Tires. The GTO's Black vinyl convertible top is
in excellent condition and features a glass rear window. The GTO's
correct Black vinyl interior, featuring bucket seats and a center
console, is in very good condition with only minor defects and wear
to note. Powering this stunning GTO is its date-coded correct High
Output 400 cubic inch V8 backed by a correct 4-speed manual
transmission. Both the engine and transmission perform just as they
should and deliver that very rewarding driving experience that only
these well restored muscle cars can deliver. Transferring power to
rear tires is the GTO's correct Saf-T-Track limited slip rear
differential equipped with a final drive gear ratio of 3.55:1. This
GTO delivers an intoxicating V8 exhaust note thanks to the the High
Output 400 cubic inch V8 breathing through its factory routed dual
exhaust. This GTO is very well equipped with factory options such
as: power steering, power brakes, power convertible top, hood
mounted tachometer, power antenna (in-op), Saf-T-Track limited slip
rear differential, AM/FM radio, rear seat speaker, retractable
headlamp covers, rally gauge cluster, tined glass, heater/defrost
and variable speed wipers. This GTO is very well documented by its
PHS documentation, reproduction window sticker, and a copy of the
original dealer invoice. If you are in the market for a
well-optioned, second generation GTO convertible or are just in the
market for a very nice, convertible muscle car that is turn-key
ready to enjoy and would present very well at your local cruise-in
or car show, then you will want to take a very close look at this
gorgeous 1968 Pontiac GTO convertible.
