1968 GTO's
I have noticed that most of the 68 GTO's that are on this site, the cars are missing the GTO letters on the rear quarters.
Is that a choice or were the letters a factory option?

They were standard. But I've noticed that after a repaint the average owner doesn't reapply the decal. Might be that they're unaware that reproductions are available. For those on this site, it may be a personal thing.
My car has been painted for 5 years now, is nearing the end of its six year restoration, and I still haven't added the decal. Sounds like something I can do tomorrow.

The first time we ran our new 68 GTO through the automatic car wash the stickers blew off.
Dad saw the owner and a couple workers huddled around the car off to the side. He approached them and the owner said "Van - I'm really sorry but those decals came right off". Dad looked at it for a minute and said "Good. Now I don't have to do it." K

If anyone has a special place to order them, please let us know.
I'm looking for a set of White letters and two venders say out of stock with no time when restocked.

The OEM decals stick pretty good to new paint that's never been waxed etc.
I found original decals on ebay quite a few years ago. Still worked great and had that every so slight "not white" color.

Glad I saw this, never realized that was another difference vs 69s, two rear end visuals now for quick recognition, chrome bumper over the taillights and these stickers if they're still on.
I can see in modern car washes theses stickers get obliterated after a couple washes, especially the spinning brushes washes.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
