Carousel Red 1968 GTO (Judge clone), interior shot.CLICK-> 
The engine is an original 400 (YT code 400) rebuilt with: .30 over
with forged pistons and new rings, Ram air III cam and hydraulic lifters, rotating assembly was balanced, mildly ported and polished 4x heads, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake with a Holley 750 cfm carb, and Hooker headers with 3" exhaust back to Flowmasters to 2.5". The transmission is a PW coded Turbo 400 automatic and it has the original non-Posi 3.23 rear end. The air cleaner has been replaced with an aftermarket chrome unit and the windshield washer hoses are all missing from the pump.CLICK-> 
Here's a look at the innards. Looking through the windshield, it has a '69-style radiator shroud. In here there is a '69 console under a '68 dashboard. The instrument surrounds are painted black rather than chromed. They've added a "Hurst Equipped" emblem to the glovebox door.CLICK-> 
Verdoro Green 1968 LeMans convertible owned by Adam Rosenfeld from Melville, New York. Adam tells us more, "After a 20 year hiatus from muscle cars, I picked up this 68 LeMans. It's 100% original according to PHS with the obvious exceptions being the GTO hood and spoiler, and the aftermarket chrome rims. It's a driver that I intend to enjoy with my two young sons for years to come and as such, we'll modify it to enjoy it. Nothing that can't be put back, but enough to make it that much more fun to drive (tranny, Qjet, gears, HEI, etc). Thanks for keeping this site as it helps me get back up to speed, so to speak."CLICK-> 
  
Verdoro Green 1968 LeMans convertible, left front view. This reminds me of my first car, a Verdoro Green '68 LeMans. Except this one is a convertible with no rust! Check out the cars in the garage. I see a Camaro and a 1967 GTO.CLICK->

A knockout Carousel Red 1968 GTO convertible owned by Ken from Brooklyn, New York. Ken tells us, "I bought the Goat for $500 in 1989 after just getting married and buying my house. Not a penny to my name, the car sat for about 13 years until about 2002 when I was ready to start the full frame-off restoration. In 2005 I was finished with it. It has P/W, P/S, P/B with disc all around. The machine work on the 428 was done by the legendary Nunzi Automotive and assembled by me."This car does have some Judge stripes down the sides, but the owner stopped short of putting any "The Judge" stickers on the front fenders. CLICK-> 
At a distance, this Carousel Red 1968 GTO convertible might look like a Judge. But when you get closer, you realize it's a super-clean customized '68 with a 428.CLICK-> 
The engine compartment is so fresh, it looks like it was assembled yesterday. There is a 428 under the hood. The firewall has been shaved.CLICK-> 
Solar Red 1968 GTO convertible owned by Tim Creery from Horton, Michigan. Tim adds, "This car was purchased from the dealer by my parents in March of 1968. It was our family car when I was a kid. In 1978 they bought a new Pontiac Phoenix and the dealer only wanted to give them $100 trade in on the GTO, so my Mother said that it would sit in their drive way and rot before they would give it away like that. So it did until 1982 when my Dad added onto his small garage and then it was kept inside. They gave the car to me in 1995 and I started a frame up restoration. I finished the restoration in May of 2005. This is an all numbers matching car including the carb, intake, heads, exhaust manifolds, Muncie 4-speed, drive shaft and rear end. I have all of the original documentation including the original dealer receipt, window sticker, owners manuals, Protect-O-Plate, warranty certificate, dealer service reminders, and much more."CLICK->
