The Pontiac GTO remains one of the most popular classics that collectors are looking for these days, but on the other hand, it’s also one of the models that some would rather buy in a poor condition for a full restoration project.
And this ’68 GTO right here is the one that’s just right for a full restoration, especially because it’s all original and all the numbers match.
The owner, who posted it on eBay earlier this week, explains this is a barn find project, and it comes with an unmolested interior in good condition. However, judging from the photos that are included in the listing and are also available here, the interior still needs a lot of work to be brought to this good condition the seller is talking about.
On the other hand, this GTO features a cool combination of a black vinyl interior and a Verdoro green with a black vinyl top, albeit fixes are necessary both inside and outside.
As for the engine, there are good news and bad news. First, the good news. The engine that powers this iconic model is the 400ci (6.6-liter) V8 unit that is mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. The bad news is that the engine doesn’t start, which means it might require some serious fixes before it can turn this GTO into someone’s daily driver.
The owner says the car was built by Pontiac at the Arlington, Texas plant in April 1968, and they also have the paint and trim codes for anyone who wants to start a restoration project.
As for the price, you probably don’t expect it to be an affordable car since it’s an old GTO. And it surely isn’t. The seller expects to receive $17,500 for the car, but keep in mind that it needs to be towed, as the engine doesn’t start and some other fixes might also be required.
