1968 PONTIAC GTO
CALIFORNIA CAR, PHS DOCS, # MATCHING 400, 4 SPEED
This 1968 Pontiac GTO looks exceptionally nice in a factory color,
Nightshade Green, code V. Looking down both sides it is laser
straight. There are no flaws or stress cracks on the front Endura
bumper. The hideaway headlights work as they should. The front
grills are in excellent shape. All the stainless trim was either
polished or replaced. The door handles, emblems and mirror look
like new. The door jambs are painted nicely. All the door seals and
weather stripping is newer. In the rear, the bumper has been
re-chromed and has new tail light lenses. It rides on a set of 15x7
Rally II wheels with correct black PMD center caps and correct lug
nuts. The wheels are wrapped in a set of Cooper Cobra radial GT
225/70/15 in the front and 275/60/15 in the rear for that
aggressive stance it deserves!
The black bucket seat interior looks amazing; it has all been
redone from carpet to headliner. It retains its original Hurst 4
speed shifter coming out of the floor in between the bucket seats.
It has front and rear seat belts and shoulder belts. The instrument
panel has been restored and looks good as well. It still retains
its original AM/FM radio. It also has its original factory steering
wheel. Looking forward to the dash, it is very impressive. The dash
pad is nice, no cracks or warpage, the lenses, gauges and factory
style tachometer are clear and everything works as it should.
The engine compartment is nicely detailed with its completely
rebuilt engine, casting # 9790071. The VIN on the engine matches
the VIN on the car. This GTO runs extremely strong. It has factory
style chrome valve covers, stock dual snorkel air cleaner with
chrome lid, power steering, factory Ram Air exhaust manifolds,
upgraded HEI ignition and an upgraded aluminum 4 core radiator. It
also features a new cadmium plated brake booster with correct
portioning valve and new dual master cylinder. Everything is very
clean. The engine bay has a nice satin black finish.
The undercarriage looks great, all clean metal. Everything appears
to be original with no signs of rust or patches. The front end
suspension and steering were completely rebuilt. It has new tubular
upper and lower A-arm with all new bushings, newer shocks and
springs. It also has a new Pypes dual X-pipe exhaust system with
Pypes mufflers and tail pipes running out the back. Looking up the
motor and transmission they are clean. It has a Muncie M20 4 speed
manual transmission, front disc brakes, all new brake and fuel
lines, new gas tank straps and sending unit. It also features a
3:55 posi rear end.
The trunk is nicely detailed with a coat of spatter paint. Other
features include a trunk mat, spare tire, factory jack assembly
with lug wrench.
This GTO has a lot of desirable features. It is very clean and
shows and drives well.
