Project 68 The Great One

[Code Red]

I guess I'll start on a project thread for our 68 GTO

Car was purchased in 1999 by my mother who had owned one brand new when she was 18. Well she saw by chance on the history channel Top 10 Muscle cars of all tiem and GTO was number 1 so she decided to buy another one

currently the car has a Pontiac 400 out of, we think, a 70's Bonnieville

the motor is tired and could use a good rebuild here sometime but is still fine for driving currently

4 Speed Manual (I think a muncie my brother specwarsquid will fill in the details)

New hurst shifter

3.55 auburn posi (interesting note the car orginally had a 355 gear set from the factory according to the papers we got form the pontiac historical services but somewhere down the line someone put a economy 2.78 in it)

Axle housing is out of a chevelle since the housing we had was a canadian housing and wouldnt support the 3.55

Car is in need of body work, new paint, and some chroming, also this particular car was Verdoro Green

I already have a new hood for it which was put on for fittign but now is back off and in its box

I guess I'll start off with some before before pics

here you see the car a little after we bought it in 99 at the woodward Tigers GTO show



Car was sitting on Rally IIs on Bias PLy Tires





I'll add a few more pics and details a little bit later
