Fuel-Injected 1968 Pontiac GTO Convertible

Description

General Motors redesigned its A-body line for the 1968 model year, with more curvaceous and streamlined semi-fastback styling. Second-generation GTO models saw their wheelbase shortened to 112 inches and were approximately six inches shorter and about a half inch lower overall than 1967 models. For 1968, Pontiac returned to a horizontal layout for its quadruple headlights and offered hidden headlights available at extra cost.

The concealed headlights were a popular option and complemented the newly introduced hidden windshield wipers, which sat below the rear edge of the hood. Second-generation GTOs are coveted for their “coke-bottle” shape and robust GM A-body platform, making them a popular choice for modification, combining 1960s muscle car attitude with modern handling and reliability.

This ‘68 Goat car wears a red finish over white vinyl upholstery and is powered by a 400ci V8 that is paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. The seller tells us that the car has been fitted with Hotchkis suspension components along with Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection, Edelbrock intake manifold, front disc brakes, a Hurst dual-gate shifter, aftermarket auxiliary gauges, Cragar wheels, BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, aftermarket speakers, and a Bluetooth-capable head unit that is mounted in the glove compartment.

This 1968 Pontiac GTO is now offered with a clean Texas title in the seller’s name.
