Factory 2-tone with painted roof is unusual on a 67 GP. Headrest seats , and probably more unseen options. Very neat car ! Have only had one 67 428 HO engine and it had the open element breather like an HO GTO engine.

I know you could get Bucket seats in the 73-75 4-Door Grand Am's, Also the 78-80 GA's. But did they make non folding forward bucket seats for a 4-door in 68? I think I see the levers to fold the seats forward on that 68 4-door, but with the pictures posted its hard to say.
If you could get a 4-door Lemans with bucket seats than I learned something today, the Brochures I found online are a bit vague if they were available or not.

I have to admit I didn't open all the images and did not realize the '68 was a 4-door.
Then I thought it may have been a Strato-Bench car. However, it looks like (Per the '68 Lit) it was not an option to have Buckets and/or a Strato in a 4-door. I know with these old cars "Never say Never" only PHS would verify as built. Sorry for my oversite.

And yes only the PHS or a build sheet may or may not show what it came with.

The trim tag might relate to the seat style.
The front and rear seats look the same color degrade. The rear lower does seem to have the rounded ends like a 4door lower seat. |

I would think the floor pan for a 4 door would not have the reinforced inner seat mounts - so no buckets.

I would be too embarrassed to ride in that thing. It says it was barely used, but ad says it has 150k miles on it.

32k seems heavy unless it's an HO. At least all the 68 428 engines were "the good ones" ... at minimum. |

Looks clean (but white can hide flaws) and the 428, buckets, console and rally’s are all nice pluses. Too bad about that gawdawful steering wheel. A nice custom sport would really compliment the interior.
I don’t think it’s a brougham though, it says Bonneville rather than brougham on the door panels and I don’t believe you could get buckets on the brougham.

Even if it is the base 428 at least in 68 it was the 4bolt, large valve and chrome dressed 375 horse version. It also will have the 4 (rockers, console and rad support) 428 emblems, a nice touch!
The 69 base 428 was small valve, 2 bolt and no dress up, rated at 360 and visually identical to the 400. Also 68 was the last year for console and floor shift option. I never liked the 68 styling but somehow the white on white here works nice. As for value, assuming it is a clean car I’d think a base 400 bench version would be $20k, this one maybe 25 with the engine and buckets and maybe 30 on a good day for an HO.
