Don Hansen (DonHansen@gtoproject.freeserve.co.uk) has this 1968 Pontiac GTO convertible project. He's in England, working on this car. (I wonder if they have NAPA auto parts stores there?) He found this car in England. Don sent away to Pontiac Historic Services and they said that the car is a H.O. car. It has PS, PB, PW, tilt wheel, power seats, rally gauges, power top, turbo 400 tranny and a Safe-T-Track rear. Most of the car was there except the original engine. He's got a '71 400 block, a 455 cut-down crank, Eagle rods, Ross pistons, solid lift cam, Torker intake, 850 Holley carb. The heads are 6X with professional port job. This car is now Electric Yellow with a black interior. Don hopes for low 12's at the strip. CLICK->

Red 1968 GTO converible sent in by Steve Kilmer (GEETOTIGR@aol.com). Steve says, "Here are some pics of my adopted daughter's prom. She and her date showed up in the classiest car ever made. It out-classed every limo there. Everyone was looking including the limo drivers who all came over to talk to me. I drove them to and from the prom. The girl is the same one leaning over my '70 with the wrench. (Former pic of the week). All the kids say it's a dope ass ride. I say Word up yo." CLICK->
My first car was a 1968 LeMans, so I always liked these. And a black one is even better than the Verdoro Green one I started out my driving career in. Here is someone's 1968 LeMans convertible in black. Picture #1. It looks great with the chrome nose against the shiny black paint. The Cragars really set it off. CLICK->
