Green 1968 LeMans body owned by PNTIACXLR8@aol.com. The owner comments, "I bought it for a parts car for my 69 GTO, and I only paid $100 for it. It was a Grandma's car until some sailors bought it, were hot rodding it, lost it on a curve and bent the frame."

This 1968 GTO has a Hurst Dual Gate shifter. The Dual Gate allowed the driver to either set the shifter to Drive (as shown in this picture) and have the automatic transmission shift itself. Or the driver could move the shifter to the right (pushing the cover plate aside) and shift through the three gears manually. You can just make out the 3 2 1 on the cover plate between the gates shown in this picture. This shifter was also known as the His-n-Hers Shifter, meaning that the manual side was his and the auto side was hers. It's interesting to notice that new car manufactures are starting to come out with Dual Gate shifters again - and calling them a new idea!
