I might have to make that cruise some time. It's just so far for me, especially on a MONDAY night!

What color Blue is that car? With a gold interior?

From what I remember it is black. I looked at the trim tag briefly. Does '68 use letters for the paint codes?

Yes, letters for paint and numbers for vinyl or convertible top.
Black RAII with a gold interior would make it like that RAII convert everyone knows about. I'm guessing this one is a hardtop? I like the 'no console' look.

i thought it was Dark Green
... or maybe Black
Gold interior swayed me to Green

thats why i was comparing it to the VooDoo Green / Ivy example we already have listed.

Interesting car hope we knew more about it someday.

I think it might be the car/owner that Brian and i were trying to track down from a past HighPerformancePontiac Website posting.

He just joined here with the same screen name (GTOWolf) that had posted on HPP , and sent me a PM. And said he would share some info with us about his TripleBlack GTO.

If same car , he has owned since 1976 !

Our new member and Ram Air II GTO owner is having difficulty getting a post through.
But he is trying.
They have new requirements for new members of PY now - i think they have to approve posts first.

A lil bit more info -

it IS the Car / Owner that Brian and i were trying to track down from the old post i found on HPP website.

Some prelim briefings from owner -

" build date is 5/29/68 out of Pontiac...what is cool about that is my birthday is 5/28 .
I have build sheet that was found under carpet by drivers seat.
Also paper work from PHS.
... 38 yrs I have owned this car. Heck I was 22 yrs old when I picked it up long haired hippie blowing off big block Chevys and Ford's or what ever else was around back then...lol "


This is going to be pretty damd Kool - - i do believe

Not a high survivor ratio but no stripes & no wings so nobody knew they were special.

He should trade me - mine was invoiced on his birthday.

By any chance is this one accounted for? I sent him an email and he claims its a real RAII with a RAIV top end.

Kyle suggested that I call the guy who was at the Summit show but I'm kinda shy about calling folks I've never met and asking about their rare automobiles...
If I ever get to one of those cruises, I'll certainly try to meet him though.
