Ohio car w/ NO RUST? (doubtful)
No Pics? Need 'em to help make a useful guess. '68 GPs are KICK ASS cars but are love/hate cars esp when $$ is changing hands. My SWAG: A '68 GP that's running, driving has 400/auto non-air and would have been a 'lot car' when new (standard inventory, nothing special ordered) with some rust (non-structural threat), $4500. My seem a bit low, but that price accounts for the brake job or suspension work that won't reveal itself for six months. Hope it helps. |

Yeah, I like the '68 Grand Prix. Looks like a '68 GTO on steroids. Somebody on the forums has a beautiful Mayfair Maize '68...I think with white interior. Beautiful car.
By the way F ROCK, the GP did the hidden headlight thing before the GTO did.

About 2 years ago I passed on a 68 GP with 400/400 in Voodoo green and black top and interior for $2500. Wasn't a 428 or a 4 speed, so I passed. They are like a GTO on Steroids for sure.

For VWmailman:
A couple more pics for you. I’ll post some more 68’s when I find them for your reference. I have them saved on some other drives, thumbs, etc. IIRC:This one looks like an old HPP Featured car ‘68 GP, below. ![]() ![]() Suggested - some inspection areas to look for rust: • Underside of doors • Perimeter of vinyl top trim – especially lower edges on ¼ panels • Inside edge of trunk lid (back side of key lock area, etc) • Rear window glass and trim • Base of windshield • Rear wheel well radius (take a closer look @ the side view of the black GP, that is rust bubbling above the center of the fender skirt) • Fender Skirt mounting areas - take them off and put them back on Keep us posted. Hey Wheelspin: Sweet looking GP! Is this the same one posted on your signature? Quote:

Seems a bit odd that one would be optioned with a white cordova top and not parchment seats to match.
Me thinks this was a 'lot car' like Matt described. Could be the top was orginally black, also. Black top was much more common with Vordoro cars. |

IIRC: 1967 was the first year for GP with Hidden Headlights
I like the 68's...but a lot of people prefer 1st the one year only '67 (only GP convertible yr) then the rebodied '69, '70,... |

No I wish, not mine. Picture is from Tour DeWangers 2001.
Great Pontiacer from Cali owned it then (still?) his name is Bill Baugh. (Standing on the right in the photo below) ![]() Here’s another shot of it in the staging lanes at Carlsbad Dragstrip with white top up. ![]() Thumb Page 1 Thumb Page 2 |
