After I purchased the car I restored it to its current condition and showed the car at Premium car shows and others with professional judges for about four years. The car has won approximately 50 trophies, 5 Best of Show and 12 Best of Division among others. I have attended a large number of classic car shows over the years and I have never seen another 1968 GTO in this color combination with a factory Hurst 4-Speed. As many classic car shows are at night the car has under hood LED lights. These lights are not noticeable during the day or when not in use and draw very little current. They can be left on for an entire show without any noticeable drain on the battery. They are controlled by hidden switches,hidden wiring and are all fused for safety.The LEDs put out an amazing amount of light and illuminate the entire engine bay.

Have some of the original factory parts that came with this car should a new owner wish to return the car to factory stock or to keep for future added value. Original Quadrajet intake manifold. Front valance(currently has chrome model). Exhaust manifolds. Exhaust pipes that connect to original exhaust manifolds. Above will be included if car is sold at full asking price.

PHS (Pontiac Historical Service) Certification Documents,Factory Owner's Manual, Full Shop Manual, GTO Wiring Manual. Many receipts.

Please note: This car shows extremely well and is an unbelievable attention getter. As you can see from the above information it has many new parts and upgrades. All parts are of the highest quality grade. I consider any part installed, with less than 1500 miles, a new part. The paint is about 12 years old and still has an excellent finish. Same paint that won 50 trophies. Car runs,drives and sounds outstanding. I am retired and it has never been raced or abused in the 10 + years I have owned it.

Note : This car is Turn-Key ready. It can be driven to a car show or cruise-in the day it is purchased.

Please no low ball offers as I do not have to sell the car. I do not need help selling the car.Not interested in a trade for classic car, boat, motorcycle or real estate. Only serious offers will be considered.

Would consider an even trade for a 2013 or 2014 Shelby GT500 in metallic red with white stripe, navigation and low mileage.
