Overview of 1968 Pontiac GTO For Sale by Owner

The Pontiac GTO was born out of sheer grit, a bit of cheekiness, and a desire to circumvent official company rules that seemed ridiculous. By the early 1960s, General Motors had banned their auto divisions from participating in auto racing. This meant that divisions could no longer field machines that could nuke it out across America, and fight for who made the fastest car. Of course, this didn’t mean that you couldn’t sell potent, street-legal cars for customers to use to race. This was what John Z. DeLorean, Russ Gee and Bill Collins came up with. The result was the GTO, with the name inspired by Ferrari’s legendary 250 GTO. The GTO ran for five generations before throwing in the towel by 2006. That makes first and second generation GTOs excellent classic cars that can still burn rubber in anger when desired. This 1968 Pontiac GTO is one such car. This 38,000-mile, numbers-matching machine has been restored, with many mechanical parts replaced as well.

Exterior and Interior

Sporting a restrained shade of blue with a hint of gray in the color, this 1968 Pontiac GTO rolls on a set of aftermarket wheels that beautifully suit its menacing persona. The tires are new, we’re told, as is the rear bumper. The car also features a black vinyl-wrapped hardtop for that convertible-look, which was popular in the Sixties. The new interior of this 1968 Pontiac GTO can seat four adults, and reportedly hosts new seats, new carpeting and new headliner. It’s a lovely place to be, devoid of the modern digital distractions and myriad touchscreens that cars are dominated by in 2024. Instead, you’ve got analog dials set within a wood-trimmed dashboard, a pleasingly thin-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel, three pedals, and a manual gear shifter.

Engine

Under the hood of this 1968 Pontiac GTO lies a powerful 400ci V8 mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox. We’re told that the car comes with new solid state ignition, a new carburetor kit, a new fuel tank, a new clutch, new U-joints, a new vacuum booster and a new power steering system. Then, there’s new rear suspension arms as well. All this makes for a powerful machine that can dramatically take over any street.
