Vehicle Description

There are few cars that possess the same level of recognition as the Pontiac GTO. The original GTO is widely regarded as the pioneer of the muscle car category, while the second generation model played a significant role in shaping the segment for years to come. In 1968, the Pontiac GTO was awarded MotorTrend's prestigious Car of the Year title, a well-deserved accolade given its powerful engine housed within an aesthetically pleasing exterior, all at an affordable price point. The highlighted vehicle in question presents a contemporary twist on the classic Pontiac GTO. Rather than the traditional 6.6-liter V8 engine, this model features a more modern 5.3-liter Chevy LS engine under the hood. This restoration of the 1968 Pontiac GTO offers just a glimpse into the range of enhancements and upgrades made to this iconic car. In 1968, a refreshed body style was introduced for the Pontiac GTO, marking a departure from the angular design of its predecessor in favor of a more aerodynamic silhouette. This restoration project has faithfully maintained the iconic 'Coke bottle design' of the vehicle, showcasing a tasteful Nightshade Green paint job. The car now sits on larger American Racing wheels adorned with new Nitto tires, enhancing its overall appeal. A prominent RPM gauge on the hood is strategically placed for optimal visibility to assist the driver in achieving smooth gear shifts on the road. The interior of this meticulously restored GTO boasts luxurious black leather upholstery, with the driver greeted by a deep-dish wooden-rimmed steering wheel adorned with the Pontiac Motor Division emblem. The dashboard features three stylish meter binnacles equipped with modern semi-digital gauges displaying vital information such as speed, RPM, oil pressure, voltage, water temperature, and fuel level. To enhance comfort, the cabin is equipped with air conditioning courtesy of a Vintage Air A/C system installation. The focal point of the restoration of the 1968 Pontiac GTO is the contemporary power source located in the engine bay. Installed in the vehicle is a 5.3-liter Chevrolet LS V8 engine, which is equipped with a cold air intake and paired with an automatic transmission.
