1968 PONTIAC GTO....400 ENGINE....4 SPEED.....TRIPLE BLACK

Description for Pontiac GTO 1968

IS THIS A REAL GTO? Yes, run the VIN. The Vehicle Identification Number will tell you. HOW IS THE TITLE? The title is notarized and clean. It is from a friend that lives near Cincinnati. HOW IS THE ENGINE? Past owner said it was the original 400 that has been rebuilt. I hear no knocks or rattles, I see no blue smoke. It starts and runs good. HEAD LIGHTS WORK! TAIL LIGHTS WORK! BRAKE LIGHTS WORK! TURN SIGNALS WORK! SPEEDOMETER WORKS! GAS GAUGE WORKS! HEATER BLOWER...WORKS! WIPERS WORK! RADIO LIGHT UP, BUT NEEDS SPEAKERS! HOW IS THE TRANSMISSION? It’s a 4 speed manual, I consider it shifting good, no clutch slip or chatter. HOW IS THE PAINT? I would consider the paint upper end driver quality. I see no dents or dings, the shine is very brilliant. If you look with a critical eye you can find some flaws, “its black”. The car was not born black, it was a dark blue, all jambs and lips have been painted so its hard to tell. HOW IS THE INTERIOR? Nice interior, seat cover good, good carpet, good headliner, door panels, dash pad has no cracks, console decent. Head-liner look like new, it needs pull tighter at the back "it has wrinkles at the back". HOW IS THE CHROME? Bumpers look like new, door handles outside look like new, emblems nice, Windshield chrome good, back window trim good with minor dings. HOW IS THE GLASS? Windshield look like new, door window roll up and down good and look good, back seat windows roll up and down, but have bad marks from rubbing old rubber over the years. HOW DOES THE CAR DRIVE? To me it drives good, it is not power steering. The wide square corner tires look great, but do not drive as good as normal rounded corner tires. Looks like re-builder put lots of new suspension parts on. HOW DOES THE CAR STOP? Good for 4 wheel drums, it is power brakes. no parking brake cables. HOW ARE THE WHEELS AND TIRES? New Riddler wheels, 18s on front and 20s on the rear. They look great, but I know wheels are personal taste. The front tires are 245/45/18 and the rears 245/40/20. The front tires do rub some on full turn backing out of my garage, I have not heard any rub on the road. HOW IS THE RUBBER WEATHER STRIPPING? Door rubber looks new, trunk rubber looks new, window whiskers look new, vent window rubber has cracks. HOW IS THE METAL AND THE UNDER-SIDE? The under side is not show quality, its clean old car quality. Original floor are in place, bottom had some rust so past owner put new floors in on top of the old ones, it does the job, but is not the way I would do it. Frame look good and solid to me. Hoods on this year GTO had problems, this one fits OK and closes OK, it has some bow in the center.

WHERE IS THE GTO LOCATED? Athens, Tennessee 37303. This is East Tennessee, right on interstate 75, 50 miles north of Chattanooga. BOTTOM LINE: This a real GTO, it looks great, it drives decent and stops decent, it is not a perfect haul to the show Show Queen, its a upper end driver. Read my description and I tell you about the defects and flaws. Its probably the best buy on ebay, compare prices. Please come look if you can, if you don't please don't be a cry baby after you get the car. YOU CAN GET A MORE PERFECT CAR IF YOU ARE WILLING TO PAY A LOT MORE!
