Red 1968 LeMans sport coupe owned by Peter Saless. Peter had this to say, "I bought this car when I was 14 in 1980. The original engine had spun three main bearings so it was replaced with a 455 and a turbo 350 transmission. It is a factory air car with bucket seats."

Verdoro Green 1968 Tempest sport coupe owned by Jeff Noecker. Jeff tells us, "I recently bought this 68 Pontiac Tempest from the original owner. It has a 350 V8 and just over 51,000 original miles.
It was garaged its whole life, so no rust. It was dirty and in need of some restoration. I now have it running strong with some new tires. I hope for a new paint job, new vinyl, and new carpet in the future."

This is an award presented to a dealership. It is a rare sight that was seen on eBay. It's got a 1968 GTO on one side and a plaque titled "Delorean Award" on the other. I was bidding on it. During the bidding process, the item was withdrawn and all bids were cancelled! The seller said that the item was claimed by a member of the family it came from. I never cared for sellers who would end an auction item early after bids had already been taken on it. Since I saw this item up for bids, I have seen a couple others. They sell for about $100. I would pay that for one to hang on my wall in the UltimateGTO.com computer room. Anyone got one to sell?

Verdoro Green 1968 GTO hardtop owned by Mike Sanders from Flower Mound, Texas. Mike tells us "This is the spitting image of the car I had in my late teens / early 20's. Actually, this one is in much better condition. I sold the first Goat in 1995 to help buy my wife's wedding ring. I found this car last year (2003) and I had to have it. I've since gone through the wiring, replaced the gas tank, upgraded the suspension to more modern specs, and added the Torq Thrust wheels. All the gremlins are gone, and now it runs and drives as good as it looks."

1968 GTO (pictured in 1979) owned by John C from South New Jersey. John tells us, "I have owned this Goat since 1979. It has a 400, 4 Barrel, His and Hers Automatic, 3.23 Posi, P/S, P/B, Am-Fm, Air, Hideaways, Hood Tach, Wood Steering Wheel, High Back Bucket seats, Electric Antenna, Rear Window Defogger, Rally 2's and Remote outside mirror. It was a rust free Goat that was not taken care of the first 10 years of its life. I got it missing the interior with a blown engine and it was clear that the guy selling it was already parting it out when I came along and bought the whole car to get it back on the road. This is how it looked when I got it in 1979."
