Description of 1968 Pontiac GTO Convertible

It's not just that you're looking at a rare 1968 Pontiac GTO Convertible. This is also a highly documented muscle car that can prove its originally, right down to its big V8 and red-on-red appeal. So dig into the details on something quite authentic and awesome.
This is a sunshine-friendly convertible, so it just seems fitting to have a factory color called Solar Red. It was given a respray later in life, and the modern clearcoat gives it a nice luster that people will admire at stoplights. Hidden headlights, dual hood scoops, and large dual exhaust tips give this the proper GTO attitude. We especially love the Rally II wheels with the redline tires to match the car's color. But while this is a great muscle machine, you're going love it for its history, too. After all, you're looking at a car that has averaged less than 1,200 miles annually. While this has passed the half-century mark, the sheet metal shows the right signs of being all-original. Its alignment is also a testament to quality care.
While the black convertible roof is in top condition, with the flip of a switch, it powers down to reveal an even more attractive red interior. There's even a red boot cover so that you can get a true full red presentation inside and out once the roof is down. With such low mileage, you can see a well-preserved interior with just the right investments to keep it well-preserved and appealing GTO. The bucket seats have a premium center console in-between, and you'll love that this has a proper Hurst dual-gate shifter. The factory steering wheel is also in red, and this thin/grippy unit gives you a clear view to the sporty round gauge package. This one even still has the factory hood tach for display. This came with plenty of premium options, so you not only have the power convertible top, but also the rare power window feature. That means you never have to leave the driver's seat to go from enclosed comfort to a wind-in-your-hair experience. The factory air conditioning was even upgraded to R134a, but it will need a new servicing if you feel like an added cool breezed with the top up.
When you have the numbers-matching 400 cubic-inch V8 under the hood, you want it to look as authentic as this. In fact, it's hard to find anything out of place, and there are just a few of the right worthwhile additions, like the MSD ignition and distributor. And while there's a Holley four-barrel carburetor on top, the original carb also comes with the sale. The big V8 is mated to the numbers-matching TH400 three-speed automatic transmission, which is a stout unit ideally paired with the dual-gate shifter. Plus, power steering, power brakes, and adjustable rear shocks make it easy to enjoy this GTO.
The impressive paperwork file includes the original window sticker, factory buildsheet, bill of sale, dealer invoice, warranty card, owner's manual, title documentation, maintenance records, build receipts, and PHS Documentation. This is the legendary muscle machine that has rare features, the best original pieces, and outstanding documentation. It's a Pontiac with pedigree, and so you know you don't want to miss this deal.
