• Over 90% original sheet metal – Western US car

• The hood is well aligned but hinge springs could use replacement to be perfect
• Overall, I would rate the presentation a 9 out of 10 with 10 being a concours perfect show car

o The top of the passenger’s side front seat is coming unstitched at the top corner seam

• Ignition parts were replaced including correct date coded plug wires
• Carburetor is a 2 barrel Rochester
o The sale of the vehicle includes a 1968 casting 4 barrel intake manifold, a professionally restored Quadrajet carburetor, dual snorkel air cleaner, Carter fuel pump, gaskets and all parts to complete the 4 barrel swap - Over $1,200 in parts!
Transmission:
• Original Super Turbine 300 – Automatic Transmission
Rear End:

o Pontiac 12 bolt – 3:08 Posi rear is available but NOT included in the sale price
Wheels & Tires

• Brand new reproduction “Pontiac Division” center caps
• Brand new Diamondback Redline radial tires – 225/70/14
Suspension:
• Brand new Bilstein Shocks
• Brand new UMI oversized front sway bar (original is included with sale)
• Brand new UMI rear sway bar added
• The car handles and steers incredibly well with these improvements
Stainless & Chrome Trim:
• Original front and rear bumpers were re-chromed in 2020 and are in show condition
• The lower rocker trim is original and still shines nicely
• Rear window trim is in very good condition
• Front windshield trim is in very good condition
• Original front grill in good condition without cracks

• Door glass is in very good original condition – all windows open and close smoothly
• Rear side windows have some swirl mark light scratching on both sides
• Windshield is original and has no significant chips or scratches
• Rear window is in very nice original condition
Under Carriage:
• Floorboards and frame are completely solid and rust free
o The floorboards are untouched original and in great shape with original paint
o The frame is unpainted and in excellent condition
• Not concours finished but definitely the cleanest original under carriage I have seen
• Brand new complete Pypes stainless steel dual exhaust system with 68 GTO tips
Engine Compartment:
• Overall, it presents with a show quality appearance receiving a cosmetic refresh in 2020
• Brand new multi-core radiator (original is included with the sale)
Trunk:
• Repainted with correct GM spatter paint in 2020
• Completely detailed with original jack, full size spare and brand new trunk mat
This is a unique opportunity to own an outstanding 1968 Pontiac at a fraction of the cost of a GTO in this condition. The car runs and drives well and has been driven to shows and events without issue. The new tires and suspension components make it a pure joy to drive. In my opinion this car is way too original and unique to clone into a GTO however, I do have an endura front bumper with the hide away headlight setup available that is NOT included in the sale price.

Additional photos available upon request.
$32,500
The vehicle will be sold on a clean New York State transferrable registration in the current owners name (note that NYS does not issue titles for vehicles older than 1973). I am not a dealer but have bought and sold several collector cars at great distances and therefore I have gone to great lengths to describe this vehicle’s condition as accurately and completely as possible. I am happy to work with any legitimate shipping company at the buyers expense.
