Close-up of more stickers on the hood. The previous owner must have been a big Raiders fan! I wonder if this was the tailgate party car?CLICK-> 
Apply a little heat and that Raiders trunk sticker is gone.CLICK->

Silver 1968 GTO convertible, rear end view. The rear bumper is painted black. I have had a couple cars with the rear bumpers painted black. This is usually done to hide imperfect chrome. On these cars, the lower portion of the bumper will be plagued by chrome plating that is lifting off the metal. The plating cracks and comes loose, leaving rust pockets underneath. If you do paint a bumper black, be ready for the paint to peel off the chrome in a short time. In order to get the paint to stick, you have to rough up the chrome first with sandpaper. Might as well just take the bumper off and take it to a replating shop. It's better to take it to a replater than to buy a reproduction bumper. Original bumpers are far superior in quality to the repro ones.CLICK-> 
 
April Gold 1968 GTO convertible owned by Kevin Carr from Trophy Club, Texas. Kevin tells us about his car, "I bought it four years ago from a seller in Chester, Pennsylvania. I have owned two 1970 hardtops and in mid seventies. I had same color 68 GTO (April Gold) hardtop that was totaled when drunk teens hit me from behind. I always wanted another 68 though. I have a fresh 68 date coded engine (still looking for number matching one floating in NE) with 068 cam, bored .030, and crank cut .010. The rest is all stock including power brakes, AM-FM radio, electric windows, A/C, and His/Hers shifter. I'm getting ready to add disc brakes from 72 LeMans this spring."CLICK->

White 1968 LeMans convertible owned by Sam from San Jose, California. Sam tells us, "I bought the car when I was 15 (about two years ago). I didn't do much work to it initially because my knowledge about cars was minimal, and I didn't have my license. The first thing I did was have it painted. I got ripped off, but that's a whole different story. Since getting the car painted, I have put in all new suspension (Hotchkis/Eibach), a new 2004R transmission, 3.90 Richmond gears, new sound system, and a 400ci engine that has been tested to have 480 horse. I did all of the work myself with the help of a good friend - including building the engine, installing the suspension, trans, etc."PICTURE SET CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE ... |
