One of the 68 convertibles is gone - I parted it back in the early 90's.

I've seen probably half a dozen 67 GTO 2bbl cars.
Two or Three 69's

But never seen a 68 2bbl GTO in person or on paper.
Surprised that they built that many.

I've seen a few '68 2bbls over the years. I parked next to one a couple weekends ago. primivera beige, black vinyl top, gold interior, a/c, automatic. All original cream puff of a car probably originally ordered by a grandpa

ha! considering they never made the 400-4 originally either, I'm surprised they don't make a 194-4 for those 4 cylinder half a v-8 blocks!

When Anthony gave me his original 326 from his 67 clone he threw in an aftermarket chrome open element air cleaner, and you guessed it, the famous sticker on it with 326-4 called out!!

Yeah, I can see it now....20 years in the future, cars without these stickers will be pronounced 'incorrect' at all the cruise nights around the country because someone's uncle had one back in the year 2000...It was 'totally original' and had one...lol

20 years? they're already thinking that NOW! same with those GM foil decals on the doors springing up on every car, they stopped using those in 67 yet every 68 and up resto I see being done now has them as "correct" because the catalogs say so!

In fact, they made 1968 GTOs with the 2bbl option on the very first day of production, at Pontiac, on August 9, 1967. At least 1 was produced within the 1st 110 V8 cars that rolled down the line (Pontiac being the first plant to produce cars for the 1968 model year).

I might even know where this car is... Hmmmmm

Notice how the date code was listed...

I remember seeing them back in the late 80's-early 90's, the decal guy "jim Osborne" maybe? had a stand at the Carlisle show in PA with all the repop decals he was supplying. Not sure if they were in those early PY and Ames catalogs back then, but I remember that huge spread of repop decals that place used to sell. Ames and PY tents were TINY back then!

I don't know if he was just a supplier or made the stuff but whoever is responsible for creating this Buick Pontiac sticker needs to be hunted down and shot with extreme prejudice!
