Wheels are original finish, lugnuts, trimrings, centercaps (only the lucite centers were replaced with NOS). Tires are Coker but the factory Wide-O-oval still resides in the trunk on the spare wheel. Hood tach is factory and is accurate within 3,000 RPM of actual engine speed despite periodic rebuilds.

My LeMans is a typical Baltimore car with lots of factory overspray on the floor brace and quarter extensions.

I'm assuming this is a typo?

Original interior is completely original down to the carpet and all chrome and bright trim is untouched including rear bumper. Still has the factory softray rear window.

Again, I have a new favorite GTO!

She has J. Lo. hips!

Typical Fremont "fibrous" spatter paint in the trunk. Very different from other plants.

Some interesting details of the GTO before I painted it last year.

spatter paint overspray in the trunk

factory inspection tag on the convertible top (factory installed top still in place)

an example of the quality welding workmanship of the craftsman working for Fisher-body at the Fremont plant (looks like the rear seat panel was already welded on the other side and resulted in the drivers side being in front of instead of being behind the brace on the tub.

Thanks Alan. I've been considering changing the wheels but I'll ride with them for now.
As for yours, I read all about it being that I'm a subscriber to the Barn Finds blog. The car looks much, much better than I expected. In fact, I don't think I'd restore it if it were mine. Congrats on a great score.

In looking through the pictures on this thread, I'll look at a car and think to myself, "That's the best looking GTO I've ever seen." Then I go to another page and think to myself, "That's the best looking GTO I've ever seen." Thanks for the pictures, guys.

Heres my 1968 Lemans HO, 3 speed manual, posi, handling package. Meridian turq with gold Ivy interior...odd combo. 125,000 miles, very original down to the hubcaps, paint, interior etc. Not sure if I want it painted, I kinda like the original "survivor" look.

your GTO looks like its Meridian Turquoise

Unusual indeed, I'd enjoy it just the way it is. I've only seen one other 3 speed 1968 Lemans.

The 68 LeMans Springmist over Nightshade green that I bought new in November of 67 had a 350 2bbl, 3-speed, white interior and console.
