'68-69 pic thread
 

Do we have one of these? I briefly tried searching but didn't come up with much other than wheel/tire combos. I'm mainly looking for paint and color schemes. What would be ideal is a blue or dark blue '68 or '69 however all colors are fine. I'm trying to figure out what my car would exactly look like. I'm not good at Photoshop, I wish I was. I've already checked out most every car on ultimategto.com, however they don't really have many dark blue colors on that site to go with. Bonus would be with an Endura delete as I think I'm going to keep the chrome for a while. Anyway, post it up, thanks.

Try ultimategto.com.

Yo.
Bob.
Read his thread.

I was watching Mecum on TV Sunday morning and my GTO drove across the block. Verdoro Green with a black vinyl top. Weird to see.........

Whoops. Shouldn't respond to posts before 8:00 am!

The problem with ultimategto.com is, they usually only post up cars with factory paint jobs or colors otherwise correct for the year. I have yet to see a Nightwatch Blue or Nocturne Blue '68 or '69.

I almost want to keep the Verdoro Green on my car, since the interior paint is that color and it looks decent, but I think I'd rather go dark blue on this one. My car had a black vinyl top on it too at one point, now I have to fix the roof.

As far as the greens go, I really like Nightshade-

And since you seem to be starting a '68/'69 picture thread, here's the color of mine...If I ever finish it. Meridian Turquoise with black Cordova.

Here are two of my 68, I lost a lot of pics due to computer crash.

I always love that color. Makes me want to paint mine that color, but I'm not sure if I will because that is kind of an oddball choice of mine.
Basically I want to go with something "subtle". I don't really want to attract attention to the car but I want it to still have a decent color, that's why I was thinking dark blue.

can i play???68 old mans car ..POST car too...very solid...I bought it when i lived in Kentucky up in Indianapolis for $1000...all orig..never messed with low miles...has turquois interior too...

It is impossible to not attract attention in a GM A-body, especially a GTO.

Here's mine.

Black on black.

Nice car, I like the post cars, wish the GTO came as a post coupe in '68.

True, but I'd like it to attract less attention than say, an Orbit Orange car would. Around me it seems most of the A-bodies need a bright paint job that stands out. I'd rather not.

I was thinking of going with Starlight Black but I already have a triple black Bronco I drive daily, might as well have some sort of color to this car. I was thinking white for a while too, still am.

Here's a few of the pics I've been collecting. My mind seems to wander from day to day as far as the paint job goes. Some of these pics I may just like the stance or rims and tires of the vehicle, however the paint job brings it out IMO. I have a ton of pics I've been collecting. Most of these pics I got of eBay, Craigslist, Google images, ultimategto.com or maybe a few off this site, I can't remember. I'll post basically the better ones, I've narrowed it down to about 66 images, hopefully I'll narrow it down further.

Here's another color I like. It is white but the black grille gives it an inverted tuxedo look kinda.

I'm pretty much done, like I said I have tons more pics I've collected but I don't want to clutter up this thread if the pics aren't wanted.
As you can kinda tell from the blues, I kinda like that really dark blue and the Aleutian Blue color.

thats one sweet ride on post 17
Black with chrome wheels
WOW!!!!!
Anymore of this one

YA...that black one made me stop and stare...very cool...im not into pro touring but that is an awsome car..and i hate to use the word awesome its so over used...

This car has to be one of my top five favorite '69s.
Liberty blue over parchment, RAIV, 4spd.

I LIKE that top car. Backyard seems familiar...........:)

Greg, that one with the white vinyl roof is one of the most striking GTO's I've ever seen..........

Yeah, that's got to be my favorite '68 of all time. The top is painted, not vinyl and 4spd too...

Agree 100%...I'd love to do my 68 in those colors

I only saved that one pic but I believe it is this car. Kinda hard to mistake it, it was also in HPP:

This is the only picture that I can find of my crystal turquoise '69 GTO. It is an original crystal turquoise car with parchment interior and parchment top.

LOVE the wheel/tire/stance of this one!

Would like to change mine. This might be the ticket!

Thanks for posting this!

Ok someone must know who owns this one..
Looks like we all want to ask some questions about his car.

thanks for pictures

I think this is the same car.

yep looks like it
the pictures are better i think .
Bloody nice car ... Now do you build one Black or Orange http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...1&d=1280317680

I'd probably go with the black.
I really wish I could find a Brazen Orange '68 or '69 GTO though, that would be the orange color I'd want to paint my car.

There is a '70 done in Brazen Orange (I think) on ebay right now and I really like how good it looks.

Whoa...thats cool...very cool....

Very Cool!
 

The 1968 Tempest with an OHC are few & far to be seen.
Out of the 4 years IMO 68's are the (if I dare say) Rarest.
Don't like the word but it fits.
66's come up now & then but the 67's are the most predominate.

Are you keeping her a Cammer?
I hope so.

Cheers & best of Luck.

Very nice car. I might have to paint mine that color if I get my mind off dark blue.

Orange pull the chicks - look at pic

It's beginning to be a tough choice on what I am thinking about. These cars really look great with a gloss color and I almost want to go with a dark blue gloss. But on the other hand, I really kinda want to go with a dark metallic - something that, when in normal light it just looks like a dark blue or something, but when the sun hits it, it really "pops".

look at the GTO colors on the 2006 cars
Im impluse blue not bad , kapow is also worth a look .
She goes light in the sun and dark at night .

That's a nice color. The 2005 GTO has a Midnight Blue metallic, I wish ultimategto had more pics of that color.

Try HOLEN.COM.AU and look up the year model .
It could help.

Here is my Limelight Green 1969 GTO. Additionally, here is a Starlight Black 1969 GTO, it belongs to a member of PY.

A little more Limelight!

Looks very good, those rear tires look like they wrinkle a lot.
