Original Family Owner 68 GTO
Introducing myself.
I'm Ed from San Diego and have been lurking for quite a while. I plan to have a 68 GTO in the garage by January. My mother is the original owner, She gave the car to me around 1985. I sold it to another family member in 1998. After 18 years of sitting after it was painted, the current owner has lost all interest in the car and I will once again be taking ownership. Car is complete and is numbers matching but is stripped down to the shell. All original parts are in boxes and the car has been stored indoors in a heated garage. Engine was rebuilt during the interim but with an unknown cam. Built in Newark May of 68, sold new at Erickson and James Pontiac in Yreka CA. Solar Red with red interior. Only three options, Radio, Remote mirror and Goodyear 205 R14 radial tires. I had just turned 16 a few months before its purchase and drove it often to school. My plan is to keep it pretty close to original. Will be adding a factory AM/FM, power steering and a complete gauge package. I really like the dog dish hubcaps but will run with 15" steel wheels and tires. I also have a 70 SS 396 El Camino in the garage. It's a well kept driver with suspension mods. I'll be picking your brains over the next year or so but I also bring to the table some A body electrical experience and original owner knowledge. Glad to be here.
