Roger Klingensmith wanted to make sure an April Gold Goat made it on this page. He lives in Illinois. He bought the car from Globe Arizona. This car has Ivy Gold interior. It has a 400 stock engine except stainless valves and 068 cam and HO exhaust manifolds. The exhaust is 2-1/2 inch aluminum with an "H" pipe through Dynomax super turbos. It's an automatic with a/c and power steering and brakes (soon to be dual piston disk). The rear ratio is 2:93 due to a/c but will soon be 3:23. It has rally gauges and clock, am radio and 8-track. Recent upgrades are a rebuild to the TH400 (M40) transmission. Turbo Terry in Chicago installed Heavy Duty Raybestos Bands and Clutch Pack along with a very snappy shift kit and deep sump pan. The Four Piston Calipers and two piece rotors turned out to be problem prone, even with stainless sleeved pistons, so Roger might switch to Stainless Steel Brake Corporation's calipers and crossed drilled one piece rotors.

Interior Color: ivy gold
Visible Options: hideaways
Owner: Roger Klingensmith ( ) from Illinois IL

bullfrog67:   What a beautiful car! I owned one exactly like it (my first car), April Gold, except mine had black interior. It's always held a lot of sentimentality for me. jrobbie:   Had one just like it. Took a curve rather fast on a rain slick highway and flattened a highway marker. Rubber bumper took it on the nose with no damage what so ever. Amazing car. Liked the optional automatic, stick shift console. Great little car. Mcgn1:   Beautiful 68 GTO, I have one as well that came from the factory with the four piston calipers. When the car was being restored I ordered a rebuild kit for the calipers, they seem to work very well and I have had no problems in the 18 years since the car was restored. I wouldnt give up on them yet. Click here to add your own comments.      -or-     See the newest comments sitewide.
