1968 Pontiac GTO

Vehicle Description 1968 Pontiac GTO $127,998 INTRODUCTION: Body off frame custom build by Performance Restorations. Stunning Lamborghini paint and leather interior, under the hood is spectacular and even the underside is beautiful. The best fun will still be being behind the wheel on a sunny day! EXTERIOR: The body and paint are an outstanding example of what a truly skilled restoration shop can achieve. The restoration was completed in 2009, yet it looks like it was finished yesterday. The body is laser straight, the panel gaps are precise, and the doors close with that effortless, quality feel. The front Endura bumper is pristine with no stress cracks, and the functional Ram Air hood adds just the right aggressive touch. The car is finished in a Lamborghini 3 stage orange pearl with Arctic white that has a mix of snow and white pearls over the top. The colors are broken up with a black outline, it's all smooth to the touch. The finish is polished to a deep, glass like shine. The only imperfections I found are the typical cracks at the top corners of the trunk lid. The door jambs are slick and glossy, the stainless trim has been polished to a chrome like finish, and all of the glass has been replaced. The white convertible top was replaced along with weatherstrips. has been replaced. It features the highly desirable hideaway headlights and out back, is a Judge spoiler and the rear bumper has been smoothed and painted body color, giving the car a clean, custom appearance. It's rolling on staggered Foose 500 wheels: 18x9s in front and 19x10s in back wrapped in performance tires. INTERIOR: The interior has been completely transformed with a high end custom design. Genuine leather hides sourced from Lamborghini were used to upholster nearly every surface, including the seats, center console, door panels, sun visors, and more. The seats have been recushioned for excellent comfort and support. A custom built full length center console creates a true four bucket seat interior, with factory seat belts provided for all four passengers. The audio system is equally impressive, featuring a Bluetooth head unit, a total of 10 speakers, two amplifiers, and two subwoofers for outstanding sound quality even with the top down. The dash has been restored and retains the factory tachometer. The custom console houses a set of Sport-Comp gauges along with a Lokar shifter. Finishing off the interior are a tilt steering column, a Budnik steering wheel, and billet aluminum door handles and window cranks. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The 400 cubic-inch engine has been gone through and is making approximately 400 horsepower. It's truly mechanical jewelry. The Edelbrock aluminum heads and intake manifold have been de-burred, smoothed, and polished to a brilliant finish. It's topped with a dual feed Holley carburetor, premium fuel lines, an MSD ignition system, finned aluminum valve covers, and a functional Ram Air induction system. The front of the engine is impressive, featuring a polished serpentine front runner system with modern accessories, including a high output alternator and chrome power steering components. The chrome details continue with the heater box, radiator cover, brake booster, master cylinder, and even the hood hinges. The firewall and inner fenders have been completely smoothed and painted the same stunning Lamborghini Orange as the exterior, giving the engine compartment a clean, custom appearance. An aluminum radiator, dual electric fans, an aluminum water pump, and a stainless upper radiator hose keep everything running cool. Every component is beautifully detailed, making this an engine compartment that's just as impressive to show off as it is to drive. TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb is finished in the same high gloss paint as the exterior. Inside, the trunk has been fully boxed and upholstered for a clean, custom appearance. The premium stereo system is proudly on display, featuring two large amplifiers and the subwoofers, all neatly integrated into the design. The carpeted floor gives the trunk a finished presentation, and the custom fit car cover is included with the car. UNDERSIDE: It is every bit as impressive as the rest of the car. It was removed from the frame for a complete body off restoration. The frame and chassis components were bead blasted and powder coated in a durable semi-gloss black finish, while the underbody was restored to like new condition and painted the same body color as the exterior. The suspension and steering have been completely rebuilt and upgraded with lowering springs, solid rear lower control arms, and a chrome rear sway bar for improved handling. The entire fuel system has been replaced, including the fuel tank. A beautifully installed polished stainless steel exhaust with an X-pipe and MagnaFlow mufflers delivers both performance and a great sound. Stopping power comes from a Wilwood brake system with drilled and slotted disc brakes at all four corners, polished calipers, and a custom emergency brake assembly. Looking up at the drivetrain, you'll find a chrome oil pan, a high-torque starter, a completely rebuilt 700R4 overdrive automatic transmission, a rebuilt drive shaft and a 3.42 posi rear end with a chrome cover putting the power to the pavement.
