Evidently Pontiac wasn't included.
The first pink car was Mary Kay's personal car, a 69 Cadillac. Pink cars for their sales people came in later years.

Search "Mary Kay pink" in these forums for other discussions which may have more research. There used to be mention of the 69 Cadillac on the Mary Kay website under history.

Any pink cars built earlier were other promotional programs, notably Nancy Sinatra, some Playboy cars, who knows what else. I recall pink 67 or 68 Mustangs in my neighborhood when they were new, and I recall a pink Javelin or AMX mentioned in one or our 80s or 90s muscle/collector magazines.

Maybe Pontiac just made it available just because. It was one of four 1968 "Spring colors".

The notes on the chip chart state these colors were not available on the GTO.

With endura bumper. That's why the ones that have popped up all had chrome bumpers.

Same car that sold about 10 years ago by flipper #1 that actually did get it from original owners estate sale. iirc they had original title and original window sticker at that time.
Sold for 6-8k .
Nobody was in a rush - because the car is Very Very Rough from sitting out way too long.

This is flipper #2 or #3 now.
Hard to keep up because it keeps getting relisted for sale again every year or two.
But this fellow has had it for a while now.

I don't know how or where he got the production number of 8 GTO's
But he is correct , so far , of only 2 GTO examples known / documented.

It would get lots of ohhs and ahhs at a POCI or GTOAA convention after a healthy/wealthy restoration.

A few LeMans known
Quite a few Birds
No idea about any full size survivors
