    Love this car. I actually have a '68 same verdero green w/black vinyl top and green/gold interior. Drove it off the lot June 20, 1968. Still driving and going strong w/191,000 miles on it. Same his/her automatic trans, rear end and 400 c.i./350 hp engine; and factory AC...Woo Woo!

    My dad owned two 1968 GTOs from the 1980s all the way to 2004. Sold them both for $4,000 each to pay property taxes on a house we lost in 2009. Been his biggest regret ever since. They were supposed to be passed down to me.

      I'm a big Plymouth Road Runner fan. I'm 24 and I owned 4 2nd gen f bodies and a '68 Le Mans GTO Judge clone with the 400. I wouldn't mind owning another '68. Road Runner or GTO for me! You cam see it in my "My Carz" playlist

    I had a '68, solid black - inside and out, no vinyl top - full loaded, even power brakes and A/C. Just a straight GTO with a 400 and turbo 400 auto tranny, hidden headlights like this one. I don't know what kind of paint they used at the factory, but it had a very high luster(I think that's the right spelling). It means "gloss". Man, did that baby SHINE! My only complaint was the black interior was HOT and the black carpet was hard to keep clean. Every little speck or grain of sand showed and stood out. I would advise anyone to not get black carpet. It ran well but nothing outstanding. I never tested it but I figure it would have probably turned a quarter in the mid-to-high 14's. My memories of this car were good. I had to sell it around '73 when the Arab oil embargo hit and gasoline went to from around 35 cents to over a dollar a gallon! Couldn't afford it any more. Besides that, they were going to unleaded gas and I didn't want preignition to blow a hole in the top of one of my pistons and co$t a lot of money for an engine rebuild. I told the person who bought it to take good care of "my baby" and he reassured me he would. It's all I could ask. If he could afford to keep it on the road, more power to him. I never saw that car again. Good memories, though.

    Let me tell you, my eyes are wet. We had a '68 LeMans in the same body color, Vedoro green, but with a gold vinyl top and gold interior. My folks nearly got the GTO, but dad was not wild about the 400 engine, chrome valve covers, air cleaner and dual exhaust. BUT, I see this car and I see the owner, I believe my dad would have been just like him. The guy with The Car!! Yes I am biased, but that '68 model year body design was the best. The car looked fast just sitting, and it was a blast to drive. We has that car until '92 and when I sold it, it was well, WELL, used. Loved to the end, there is a very soft spot in my heart for the '68 Tempest, LeMans and GTO. Great car.

    My first car was a 1968 GTO. It was 10 years old when I bought it for a few hundred bucks. I traded it for a Z28 in the 80's. If I knew then what I know now, I would have never traded it. The only problem I had was when I drove it for a good distance and the engine was warmed up, when I cut it off, I had to wait for the engine to cool before it would crank again. If I drove short trips in town it did fine, but if I drove it for 15 to 20 miles, it would not restart until the engine cooled for about 5 to 10 minutes.

    GTO wasn't first muscle car, it was just marketed very well and did a lot to accelerate the muscle car phenomenon with its introduction in 1964. The Oldsmobile high compression Rocket V8 Dominated stock car racing in the late 40s. The Olds J2 package with 3 duces ate Fords and shit Dodges in 1958.

    68 GTO hardtop weighs 3600. Replace the stupid heavy endura bumper with fiberglass and replace intake with an edelbrock performer and drops to around 3450. Today's japanese cars - Highlander, Accord, etc. all weigh the same or MORE (Highlander weighs 4200, Accord V6 weighs 3650). You just have to upgrade the handling and brakes of these A-bodies and they will drive a lot better.

    I sure hope you don't mean that particular model because the timeframe I'm thinking of is 1964 or earlier.

      The '66-'67 were my fav's in terms of styling. They were nearly identical with the exception of the grille inserts and the rear tail light treatment. I've had both models and wish I had 'em back!

      Read the book "The Big 'Little GTO' Book" and it breaks it down completely from year to year, devoting a chapter per model year. It is the most complete 'source book' on the GTO that has ever been written. As a casual GTO owner - not 'afficianado' -(I've had 3; a '66, a '68 and a '67 in that order), I am certain a 350 c.i.d. was never factory installed in a GTO. Only 389, 400 and 455. I'm certain about this.

      @@daleandrews367 This is very true. My father's GTO is incredibly rare in that it was ordered with EVERy option... including a lower compression "economy" engine. But even at that, it was still a 4bbl 400. Power windows, locks, Corvette front discs, even a rear window defroster. He still has it.
