Power drum brakes, tilt wheel, power steering, and hideaway headlights." CLICK->

Check out this old Polaroid shot of a 1968 GTO hardtop. There is a 69 in the driveway as well. The owner says, "This was my first car I ever owned and unfortunately The first car I ever sold. I got it when I was 18 as a birthday present from my Dad. I sold it about six years later. I am 40 now and still kicking myself. It had a lot of problems but getting it running and legal with mucho help my Dad are some of the greatest memories I have." CLICK->
Orange 1968 GTO hardtop owned by Sam Humble from Batavia, Iowa. Sam shares, "I've been waiting for about ten years to fix up this car. My Dad about 25 years ago blew up the engine. So there sat this great looking 1968 GTO H.O. My Dad always told me he went through tires like oil changes, and now I can see why. When I turned 18, I finally had enough cash to do something about it just sitting there. Plus the gentleman who was renting the house where my GTO was stored just so happened to be a guy who fixes up old muscle cars for a hobby. It was like it was meant to be. I first put $1,500 to rebuild the engine and I bored over 60. There were a lot of really small things that needed to be done, but first off it needed brakes. I finally got to turn the key and just sit there while it popped and clanked for a while." CLICK->
