Imagine cruising down a scenic highway with the wind in your hair and the roar of a classic American muscle car beneath you. This dream can become a reality with the 1968 Pontiac GTO Convertible, a true icon of automotive history. This particular GTO is not just any model; it's a real "242" GTO, complete with documentation to prove its authenticity. Every aspect of this car exudes power, elegance, and a timeless appeal that only a genuine GTO can offer.
Under the hood lies the heart of this beast: a numbers-matching 400 V8 4-barrel engine that delivers a mighty 350 horsepower. Paired with the engine is a numbers-matching Muncie M20 4-speed manual transmission, ensuring that every gear shift is smooth and exhilarating. The 3.36 limited-slip rear axle further enhances the driving experience, providing optimal traction and control. Whether you're accelerating from a standstill or cruising at highway speeds, this GTO promises a thrilling ride.
One of the standout features of this GTO is its factory retractable headlights, a nod to the innovative design of the late 1960s. The attention to detail continues inside the car, where rally gauges with a tachometer and a hood tachometer provide all the information a driver needs at a glance. The wood steering wheel adds a touch of classic luxury, while the HEI distributor ensures reliable ignition performance.
The exterior of this GTO is simply stunning. Finished in its factory Alpine Blue color, the car gleams in the sunlight, turning heads wherever it goes. Complementing the blue exterior is a factory teal vinyl interior, creating a striking and stylish contrast. The bucket seats and center console provide comfort and support, making long drives a pleasure. Topping it all off is a factory white convertible top, perfect for those sunny days when you want to feel the breeze.
The GTO rides on 14" Rallye II wheels, which not only enhance its classic look but also ensure a smooth and stable ride. New chrome accents gleam against the Alpine Blue paint, adding to the car's overall appeal. While the original AM radio no longer functions, it's a small trade-off considering the condition of the rest of the vehicle.
Documentation is a crucial aspect of any classic car, and this GTO comes with a wealth of it. Included are the original broadcast sheet, the original build sheet, and PHS documentation, all attesting to the car's authenticity and history. A new spare tire and jack are also included, ensuring that you're prepared for any unexpected situations on the road.
This 1968 Pontiac GTO Convertible is more than just a car; it's a piece of automotive history, a symbol of a bygone era of American muscle and ingenuity.
