This 1968 Pontiac GTO is going to require a complete restoration, but when complete it has the potential to be a very nice car. You will find it listed for sale here on eBay. Located in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, it comes with a clear title. Bidding has seen the price reach $6,800 but the reserve hasn’t been met at this stage.

There’s certainly some rust issues to be addressed in this particular GTO. The trunk pan looks pretty sorry and looks like it will need replacing. There are no shots of the underside of the car so we have no indication of the condition of the floors or frame of this car. The vinyl top has deteriorated quite badly and there may be some issues between the rear glass and the trunk frame. There is also some potential corrosion appearing along the bottoms of the rear quarters, the rockers and the bottoms of the front fenders, but none of it seems to be severe from what can be seen. On the plus side all of the exterior trim appears to be present and in good order, and the car has been optioned with the popular concealed headlights.

The interior is a rather pleasant surprise on this GTO. It appears to be in really nice condition. The upholstery and trim all look very nice and will need little work. It looks like the upholstery has come away from the edges of the door trims in a couple of spots, but I suspect that these could be glued back into place with no problems.

The dash and console also look to be in good condition and they should come up nicely with a good clean. The only thing that looks like it will need replacing is the carpet, but that isn’t a big or expensive job.

Under the hood is the numbers matching 400ci engine backed by the 3-speed automatic transmission. The seller states that the engine turns freely, but that he has not tried to start it. He also doesn’t indicate how long it has been since this engine last ran. The car is also fitted with power brakes, power steering and air conditioning. He indicates that all components are with the car.

This GTO certainly has the potential to be an extremely desirable car. A huge amount will depend on what is going on underneath it, but if it is solid then it really is a viable project. It features a number of nice factory options such as the hidden headlights and the air conditioning. The fact that the engine turns freely is another positive aspect. With good examples selling for prices in excess of $35,000 this Pontiac appears like it could be a viable project.
