1968 Pontiac GTO

OVERVIEW

This restored 1968 Pontiac GTO has been with the seller since 2011 and is powered by a high output, 360 horsepower 400ci V8 backed by a four-speed manual transmission. Features include power brakes, bucket seats, a center console, and an AM radio. Finished in Starlight Black over a black vinyl interior, this GTO is available now and comes with receipts, restoration photos, Pontiac Historic Services documentation, and a clear New Mexico title.

EXTERIOR - FEATURES

During the restoration, the body was media-blasted to bare metal, then disassembled for repairs. The rear quarter panels, door skins, package tray, and cowl were replaced with reproduction parts. According to the seller, all rust damage was repaired using the correct gauge of sheet metal and MIG-welded. The welds and body seams were treated with rust inhibitor and sealed. The bodywork was covered with self-etching primer and polyester high-build primer, then block-sanded and disassembled again for the application of two-stage Sherwin-Williams Starlight Black paint. Following that, the panels were wet-sanded and buffed before being put back together. Exterior features include a color-keyed Endura front bumper, hide-away headlights, hood scoops, wheel well and rocker trim, GTO emblems, and a rear-mounted retractable antenna.

EXTERIOR - WHEELS AND TIRES

A set of gray 14-inch Pontiac Rally II wheels with chrome center caps and stainless trim rings is wrapped in 225/70 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires.

INTERIOR - FEATURES

The front bucket seats, rear seat, trim, and door panels are upholstered in black vinyl.  Features include a center console that houses a storage compartment and a manual transmission shifter, simulated woodgrain accents, an AM radio, manual steering, power brakes, and manual windows.

INTERIOR - GAUGES

A 120-mph speedometer, a clock, a fuel gauge, and warning lights for the coolant temperature, oil pressure, generator, and brakes are located ahead of the driver. The odometer reads 375 miles, which the seller states reflects the number of miles logged since the restoration was completed. The true mileage on this vehicle is unknown.
