Cool "Factory Pink" 1968 GTO!

Check it out http://chattanooga.craigslist.org/cto/4938388648.html

"I have a 1968 Pontiac GTO hardtop coupe for sale. I purchased it at an estate sale. It is a one owner car. It is factory pink. I have all the original paperwork where the guy bought the car brand new. It DOES NOT run and drive but it has the v8 engine and automatic transmission still in it. The odometer reads 38k miles. It has power steering, power antenna, air conditioning, and many other options for that year model. It is in pretty rough shape, but a very rare car..."

You have to remember that The Mary Kay Comp. was giving away a lot of Pink car to promote there cosmetic comp. back then & they did give away Pink GTO's to the sale women that beat there sales quota. So yes this could be a real Pink car bought & givin away by Mary Kay Thats why it may be so well equipped .

Dunno, but it's certainly not one of the Pink Playmate of the Year award cars

Edit: Surprised no issue or mention of the "chrome nose" GTO

Still looking for an original 1970 or 1971 Firebird window sticker. They're as rare as hen's teeth!

If anyone has an original 64-74 Pontiac window sticker, perhaps saved off from the web over the years, please forward to [email protected].

Thumbs up When is LeMans a GTO?

No worries & no so fast w chopsticks on this end, as the CL ad posted as "1968 GTO" and as Greg pointed out "That pink LeMans has been on the ultimategto site for years. Has the special paint data plate to go with it. I think it's legit." so looks like we're all correct in one way or another on this one.

Interesting if it's been "on the ultimate GTO site for years as a LeMans" and the advertised Window Sticker shows it as a GTO, well "you got some 'splaining to do Lucy!" Right?

Chrome nosed '68 GTO or really a '68 Lemans? These kind of things can be fun to research, investigate, document and discuss IMO.
