Max Factor rode the popularity wave of the GTO. They actually created a new cologne for men called "G.T.O." back in 1968! This ad was taken from the 11/26/68 issue of "Look" magazine. It says, "New G.T.O. A very moving fragrance. Bold. Fast. Non-stop. All go. Shift into it."CLICK-> 
 
This car is covered in snow. A white 1968 GTO hardtop owned by Stefan Gill from Port Jefferson Station, New York. He purhcased it 4 years ago after spending 6 years in the US Army. Stefan had this story to tell, "One month after a complete perfomance rebuild, I brutally pushed the mighty poncho 400 down the highway at speeds well over 100mph. In a dreamlike state, I lost track of time. Then it all went poof!@* Poof was the last noise eminating from the hood for more than three months. Ugh.... seems I burned up a couple pistons, cracked the block and ruined the crank. Now the car is faster, meaner, and since its no longer all original, I drive it faster, and harder. Bring it on NY, I'm waiting!!!"CLICK->

Verdoro Green 1968 LeMans owned by Mark V. from Texas. Mark commented, "I found this one in Dallas about a year ago. Complete and intact minus the lighter and ashtray. After last summer's heat (in east Texas) the original 350 was junked for a fresh stocker 400. As a daily driver it gets good gas mileage in all kinds of weather, along with the original 2 speed and a rear end somewhere in the high 2's. It's a great ride on these LONG highways we have out here."CLICK->

Dave starts the restoration of his 1968 GTO hardtop by removing the vinyl top. He says that the floor pans and frame are badly rusted. Dave decides to remove the body and place on a donor car. He's in for an expensive resto here! Look at that back window rust. That's the worst I've ever seen with the metal GONE from around the lower window edge. Dave adds:"I have replaced the rear window deck with sheetmetal cut off a 69 GTO no vinyl top car. That was the easy part compared to welding the body back to the floors and firewall."
