Vehicle Description
1968 Pontiac GTO Green Black Vinyl Top Why This Car Is Special
Pontiac�€�s premier muscle car, The GTO was redesigned for 1968,
with a unique feature that was the body-color Endura front bumper.
It was designed to absorb impact without permanent deformation at
low speeds. Pontiac touted this feature heavily in advertising,
showing hammering at the bumper to no discernible effect. We have a
true 242 VIN Code 1968 GTO here at Skyway Classics. It has a YS 400
cubic inch 350 horse engine, has PHS documents to show that the car
was ordered with the 400 engine, 4-speed transmission, retractable
headlight covers, hood-mounted tachometer, console, power steering,
ride and handling package, and Safe-T-Track rear axle. The GTO has
received a frame-off, rotisserie restoration and has been
professionally restored back to the original 'Q' Code Verdaro Green
paint. Features 242 VIN Code 1968 GTO YS 400 cubic inch 350 horse

car, and nothing showcases a muscle car better than a bold paint
job like the restored original 'Q' Code Verdaro Green paint. It has
the Endura front bumper (exclusive to real-deal GTOs in '68),
Hide-Away Headlights, Hood Tac, Dual Mirrors, black vinyl top, and
rides on factory Rally wheels and raised white letter BF Goodrich

abandoned the familiar vertically stacked headlights in favor of a
horizontal layout, but made hidden headlights available at extra
cost which ours has. The concealed headlights were a popular
option. It has the signature dual hood scoops on either side of a
prominent hood bulge extending rearward from the protruding nose.
