Many people don't know how to hook up their PVS ported vacuum switches. Also called vacuum port switches. Anyway, these two photos show the correct routing for the vacuum hoses. This is a rare treat to see such a clear view. These pictures are from Tom Ferrara's 1968 GTO convertible.

Red 1968 GTO convertible with the Endura Delete front bumper. VIN# 242678B142475. This one was found for sale on the internet summer of 2001 in Wilmington, Delaware. It has a black interior with a black convertible top. This car has many options: original V8 400 Cubic Inch engine, 3-Speed automatic, dash clock, disc brakes, tinted glass, power antenna, power brakes, power seats, power steering, and power top. There was a tale included with the description of this car, "In 1974 the current owners purchased this vehicle from New York police where the car had been for four years. The original owner had this car stolen and in the time it was stolen the original tires were taken off and the clock was damaged and still does not work. After being police property for that amount of time the current owners bought the car and they have enjoyed over 25 years with the fun to drive convertible."

Labor Day weekend in 1990, This 1968 GTO convertible is seen at the 5th annual GTOAA Western Regional Meet. It was held at the Torrance, California Marriott parking structure. I find the lower Rally stripes interesting on this car. They are not often seen on cars, especially not in the color red. In my experience, these stripes are often left off when repainting a car. And the build sheet does not specify which
color the stripes are to be. This car appears to have a red interior, so the red stripes make some sense. I'd guess that a car with the typical parchment and black interior might have a black Rally stripe. Photo from Bruce Niemietz, who attended the meet.
