1968 GTO model kit by Monogram. This is a HUGE image so you can read the
wording on the side of the box. 1/24 scale. Molded in orange. This was
not the most accurate representation of the GTO. In fact, this 1984 kit was
discontinued. This '68 had a '69 interior! It also had the '69 red marker
lights on the rear quarters. I had fun building one of these using fat
dragster tires in the back. Kit includes a cool '69 rear wing.
Tim Sickle says:"Regarding the incorrect 1968 GTO
Monogram did, there is a detail set
with all of the '68 pieces available from Model Car Garage (I helped him to
research it) This detail set includes photoetched metal parts for the grilles,
steering wheel center, door handles, etc. all included."
Their address is Model Car Garage, 2908 S.E. Bella Road, Port St. Lucie, FL
34984.
This 1968 GTO is from Paul Dorton. It is a scan
of the latest GTO kit, the 1968 GTO Street Machine. It is Revell kit # 85-2985.
It is a straight reissue of the old Monogram 68 GTO Street Machine, # 2208.
The only difference is it is molded in white instead of orange and the
decals are different. Even the tires are the same.
Jeff Williams built up his Revell 1968 GTO Street Machine model kit. He painted
it with Model Car World Verdoro Green Metallic paint.
1968 GTO slot car races a Camaro. Of course the Pontiac will be the winner with
the Camaro sliding out of control, burning up, and exploding!
1968 GTO kit is based on early pre-production drawings from the factory.
Note the rear end design resembles an early Riviera, not the real GTO.
1968 GTO model kit I'd like to own. The box drawing was based on the
pre-production GTO. Note the two vertical chrome pieces on either side of the
license plate frame. Those never were installed on the real car, but they
did show up in some factory design photos. Got an unbuilt kit like this for
sale? In the second shot, we can see what comes in the kit. The thrid shot shows
the side view of the box showing the different building options. I like
the one with only two square headlights.
Take a look at this magazine ad for this 1968 GTO MPC model kit. The text
on this almost rivals the freeform ad copy found in the print ads for the
actual car.
This is a built version of the original MPC '68 GTO with transparent hood.
What were they thinking? Monogram made this SnapTiteŽ 1968 GTO kit.
It is a Judge! The only problem is - The Judge was not available from
Pontiac that year! This inaccurate model is a 1:32 scale version. Check out
the funky side exhaust pipes.
And a repackage of this 1968 GTO as a Judge.
This must be a re-issue of Monogram's SnapTiteŽ 1968 GTO. Looks like they
stopped offering it with the Judge stripes, in favor of flame stickers. They
also changed to the Rally II wheel. This image was emailed in by Kenny Gregrich.
Yet another version of this 1/32 size SnapTiteŽ 1968 GTO model by Revell-Monogram #1160. It
is molded in green. It is #1 in a series of 6 vehicles. Revell describes it this way, "From
the dark damp corners of the imagination comes a group of vehicles that cannot be tamed. They
are known as the "Night Crawlers": The Serpent, The Stinger, The Widow, The Lizard, The
Nightflyer and The Rodent. If you happen to see them coming down your street, you'd better run
and hide... quick!"
Revell also released this version of
this 1/32 size SnapTiteŽ 1968 GTO model by Revell-Monogram #1167. It
is molded in black plastic. It is #2 in a 'Road Chill' series of 6
vehicles. Revell describes it this way, "Across the frozen tundra
rides a pack of vehicles that are so cool... They're Hot! They are
'Road Chill': Snowblind, Black Ice, Whiteout, Frostbite, Wind Chill,
and Iceburg. Like an artic blast that chills to the bone, these cars
clow by so fast they'll leave you cold. ..and it's rated "C" for cool.
Revell is trying to get their money out of this design. Here is another
version of the SnapTiteŽ 1968 GTO hardtop. This one is called "Decoy" and
is part of the "Covert" series. This one is incorrectly listed in many model
stores as a "Convertible". Can you guess why? The second shot shows a version
built up. I do not know why the windshield decal says "Hard Man" instead of
"Decoy".
John Witzke from Iowa photographed his 1968
convertible GTO promotional model which was available at Pontiac dealers in 1968. This one is
Mayfair Maize in color. John points out that this model has a hideaway headlight grille,
hood tach, Rally II wheels, and redline tires. This model is in near mint condition and has its
original box. According to John, the current value is $450.
Mark Nagel owns this Mayfair Maize 1968 GTO convertible promo
model and its original box. It's interesting to see that they
spelt the color as MAZE on the box.
Mark Nagel owns this Flambeau Burgundy 1968 GTO convertible promo model
with its original box.
They even made a 1968 GTO hardtop promo model in Aleutian Blue. Mark Nagel has the
original box for this one too.
These are dealer promo cars. They were not kits, but promotional plastic
cars available from Pontiac dealers. Here are a pair of cars. The one in
front is Primavera Beige in color. The one in back is Aleutian Blue sitting
on top of the plain box it came in. The picture is from Mark Nagel. 
A very unusual yellow toy car. The photos were sent in
by Stan Kaminski. You can see that the front of
the car has a wacky hood scoop. The side view shows the 4-door Taxi stripes.
Stan purchased this toy at a swap meet for $5. It is 9.5 inches long.
Here are three more views of this yellow 1968 Taxi GTO.
One view shows the toy opened up. There are wires that go to the Taxi sign
on top. You can see the motor and steerable front wheels. The last view is of
the underside battery compartment door. You can see what year this toy was
manufactured. "Made In Hong Kong by Cragstan".
These are not models, but they are unusual. This came from a toy
train catalog.
On the flatcar is a pair of shiny red 1968 GTOs. Gone are
the days when railways could ship cars on open flatbeds. Nowadays,
vandals would tear up exposed cars of any kind. At the very least, they would
arrive at their destination decorated with spray paint grafitti.
A very cool toy to have! It is a Cox brand gasoline-
powered car. This one was in mint condition in the box. The scale is 1/24.
More views of the Cox car. You can see all the parts
that come with the car. If you can find one of these, they're worth at least
$400 with a box, maybe more.
