The Pontiac GTO emerged as a response to General Motors' prohibition on their divisions participating in auto racing in 1963. The collaboration of John Z. DeLorean, Bill Collins, and Russ Gee birthed a skunkworks project that would transform the Tempest into a high-performance street car. The outcome was the Pontiac GTO, its name drawing inspiration from the Ferrari 250 GTO, signifying Gran Turismo Omologato, or Grand Tourer Homologated in Italian. The GTO proved a monumental triumph and continues to ignite desire among enthusiasts. Thus, we proudly present this 1968 Pontiac GTO for sale, boasting a mere 8,443 miles on its odometer. The current owner attests to the presence of the original, numbers-matching engine block and transmission, although documentation is lacking. The car received a repaint approximately three decades ago. Further intrigue envelopes this vehicle, and its enticements await your exploration as you read on.

Under the hood, the heart of this 1968 Pontiac GTO throbs with a robust 400ci V8, which has undergone enhancements including an upgraded carburetor, cams, electronic ignition, and headers. The power is harnessed by an automatic transmission with adjusted gearing that transmits energy to an upgraded Positraction rear end, ensuring an exhilarating drive. To enhance stopping capabilities, the front brakes have been converted to discs, contributing to a more dynamic and controlled driving experience.

The Plymouth Barracuda needs no introduction to fans of the muscle car genre. By 1970 the model was in its third generation and was now based on the E-Body.

The motor itself has been upgraded with a Blueprint 408ci stroker engine in place, and there’s a host of other tasty upgrades that separate this 1970 Plymouth Barracuda from the herd.

Based on the fourth-generation Dodge Dart, the Swinger was a novel concept. By its fourth generation, the Dodge Dart was considered a compact (or senior compact in marketing speak) car. So the Swinger was, in many ways, a mini-Muscle car, targeted at those who loved performance, but who were perhaps on a tighter budget than others. This resulted in a smaller car, with just as much power as many of its bigger brothers. The car we’re featuring here is powered by a 318ci V8 engine. The owner reports that this is one rare gem, with the car having an original mileage of 98,000 miles. It features a host of new parts, including a new interior.
