Here's a shot of that 500+hp 455ci engine in this Platinum Blue 1968 Tempest hardtop. You can see the custom Ram Air system which breathes through the high beam headlight openings. I'm not sure if the passenger high beam opening is functional too.CLICK-> 
  
This white 1968 GTO hardtop was for sale on ebay in the winter of 2003. It is exceptionally nice and stock. This was advertised as a one owner car. She purchased it in 1968 when she lived in California. The car has the YS 400ci 350hp engine, turbo 400 automatic transmission, floor mounted Dual Gate Hurst shifter, power steering, power brakes, factory air conditioning, hideaway head lights, factory steel wheels with poverty caps, bucket seats, factory tinted glass, dual chrome mirrors, AM radio, and the Rally instrument cluster. It seems as only the paint is not original. At the end of the week, the auction closed after receiving 17 bids. The final bid was $14,505 with the reserve not being met. Since the reserve was not met, the owner had no obligation to accept the $14,505 bid. I suppose the car could be re-auctioned.CLICK->

This white 1968 GTO hardtop was ordered with poverty caps. When these caps are ordered, the wheels are painted body color. These are unusual for a 1968 GTO. This one has redline tires too.CLICK-> 
White 1968 GTO hardtop, right front view. The headlight doors flip down when the lights are turned on. These seem to work just fine. We have an article on how to Fix your Hideaway Headlights in our Text Topics section.CLICK-> 
Closeup of the tail light on this white 1968 GTO hardtop. Many dealerships drilled holes into the trunk lids to attach their logo. You could specify that these not be placed on your car when you ordered one. This one is from the Kelley dealership in Columbia.CLICK-> 
White 1968 GTO hardtop, right front view. This one is adverised with the Rally Gauge Cluster, but it looks like it's only got the Rally clock to me. GTOs with standard instruments could be ordered with a Rally clock. There were two different Rally Gauge Clusters offered in 1968. Both had the fuel/oil/temp gauges (instead of lights) in the left pod with either a clock or a tachometer in the right pod.CLICK-> 
Here's another view of the dash in this white 1968 GTO.CLICK-> 
Door panels have a GTO emblem in the middle.CLICK-> 
Both the driver's side and passenger side bucket seats fold all the way forward on a 1968 GTO. This is one spotless original interior! Zero scratches on the back of the front seats. There must have been no kids in the back seats. The carpets look good too.CLICK-> 
Another view of the dash in this white 1968 GTO. There is a light over the radio. It comes on with a small slide switch on the side of the light. This light is perfect for seeing the console area in the dark, like when you're eating at the drive-in and need to see without lighting up the whole car with a dome light. Notice how the air conditioning vents are mounted on the bottom edge of the dash.CLICK-> 
Headliner! The front seat shoulder restraints (seat belts) are stored in little clips on the ceiling.CLICK-> 
This white 1968 has a YS code 400ci 350hp engine. This is the standard engine you got when you ordered the manual transmission.CLICK-> 
Side view of the standard engine in this 1968 GTO. Super clean! The only non standard item I see (besides the spark plug wires) is the shiny vent tube from the air cleaner down to the head. This is often seen replaced. Reproductions of the original black paperish ones are now available. |
