Inside, the red vinyl seats all look great with normal visible wear including the door panels and dashboard that are matched to the exterior of the car and show the same wear.
The Pontiac GTO is an automobile that was built by Pontiac from 1964 to 1974. The first generation GTO was a muscle car of th 1960s and 1970s era. Although there were earlier muscle cars, the Pontiac GTO is considered by some to have started the tren with all four domestic automakers offering a variety of competing models.
General Motors redesigned its A-body line for 1968, with more curvaceous, semi-fastback styling. Pontiac abandoned the famili vertically stacked headlights in favor of a horizontal layout, but made hidden headlights available at extra cost. The concealed headlights were a very popular option.
The signature hood scoop was replaced by dual scoops on either side of a prominent hood extending rearward from the protruding nose. A unique feature was the body-color Endura front bumper. It was designed to absorb impact without permanent deformation at low speeds.
The 1968 model year was also the last year the GTOs offered separate crank operated front door vent windows.
Another feature were concealed windshield wipers, hidden below the rear edge of the hood. They
presented a cleaner appearance.
Another popular option, actually introduced during the 1967 model year, was a hood- mounted tachometer. Incredibly good looking and located right in front well of the windshield, well lit and easily seen at night
