Factory original but far from stock, the 1968 Pontiac GTO from the
Arlington assembly plant now runs a monster 465 cubic inch mill -
built from the original numbers-matching block. Muscling its way
through traffic with Cameo Ivory paint and bold blue pinstriping,
this genuine 242-code goat shows off with its air grabber hood and
factory-mounted tach. US Mags wheels (17" front/18" rear) fill the
wells completely, with 245/40R17 front and 275/40R18 rear rubber
planted firmly on the pavement. The wheel well moldings and iconic
headlight doors complete the aggressive look that made the GTO
legendary on street and strip alike.
Sitting in the teal vinyl interior puts you in command of pure
muscle car magic. Rare split-back bench seats with armrest give
plenty of room for your crew as you grip the leather-wrapped
factory steering wheel. Wood grain dash details house the working
factory clock while you keep tabs on performance. The aftermarket
temperature gauge adds modern monitoring capability while staying
true to the vintage vibe. Factory AM radio keeps the soundtrack
going while the removable console with storage and cupholders adds
daily driver convenience without sacrificing the authentic muscle
car atmosphere.
Rumbling powerfully, the 400 V8 has been transformed into a
tire-smoking 465 cubic inch monster fed by a Holley 4-barrel
carburetor. Mated to the original VIN-matching TH400 3-speed
automatic, this combo puts down serious torque. Hooker headers
connect to a dual-exhaust system with street-flow mufflers for an
exhaust note that announces your arrival blocks away. For stopping
power, power disc brakes bring everything to a halt. The large
aluminum radiator with fan and clutch keeps temperatures in check
while the factory air conditioning upgraded to R134a means you can
cruise in comfort no matter how hot the action gets on the
street.
