Default 1968 GTO -Freshly built 455 (462)

1968 REAL GTO. VIN code "42" -$16,750
I've owned and enjoyed this car for 2 years and am ready to sell. I need the money and space for my 1968 GTO convertible. 3 kids, 3 jobs and too many toys.

The car was 100% restored in 2000. I purchased it in 2007. The car is a great driver/cruiser. The paint looks good with the exception of a few chips and blemishes. I would consider the paint to be in good "driver" condition. If you would require the paint "freshened", let me know as I have the resources to do so. The interior is in nice shape. Originally an A/C car. This car is solid!

BRAND NEW MOTOR!!! Donnie Miles (who frequents the PY boards) of Team Miles Racing and Miles Automotive is a Pontiac specialist. If you'all know him, then you know his Pontiac credentials.

Engine: 455 cleaned, checked,punched out .030 over by R&W Machine in West Chester, PA. It is now a 462 C.I.D. Stock rods and crank with Keith Black Hypereutectic pistons. Spyder Prep Racing Heads (spyderprepracingheads.com) prepped 6X heads, flat milled them .010", took exhaust valve openings from 1.66" to 1.77" and seated 45º Ferrea valves. 2.11 intakes got a 3 angle valve job. The 1.77 exhaust side received a 5 angle valve job. Donnie Miles did all the custom porting, polishing and gasket matching. Comp Cams 9.3" Chromoly Pushrods and C.A.T. Fluid Damper (SFI certified), 1.52:1 PRW Stainless Roller Rockers. Torquer II intake with Holly 750 Double Pump. This motor is NASTY yet still retains a stock appearance.

Rims are American Racing Torque Thrusts with BF Goodrich 295/50R16's tires on the rear and 225/50R16's on the front. I can switch them out for a set of original Rally II's with center caps and trim rings and knock a few bucks off the price of the car.

The trunk is solid as is the frame. It appears that a new trunk and fenders were installed during the 2000 restoration. Whomever did the work did a great job. I believe that the car is well worth a look if you are interested. Feel free to arrange a time to inspect this vehicle.

I drive the car regularly to cruise-ins and for Sunday drives. The car is very dependable and safe. I take my 5 and 3 year olds on long cruises without hesitation. Feel free to call me during the day at (302) 239-3710 or send me a message. I can take specific photos or answer any questions you may have.

I am also looking for 68 GTO parts for my convertible and may consider as partial trade.

My asking price reflects how much I have into this car. Please be gentle! LOL

I am 2 hours from DC, 1.5 hours from Baltimore, 40 minutes from Philadelphia and 2.5 hours from NYC.
