Pontiac : GTO 2-door

Up for auction is Motor Trend's car of the year for 1968. the legendary Pontiac GTO. Per the Pontiac Historical Society's paperwork. this Alpine Blue over Teal interior coupe was billed out to Dave Pyles Motors in Marlow Heights. Maryland on May 7th. 1968. The original owner. Mr. James L. Angel. selected the following Options for his 400 cubic inch. 24237 GTO Hardtop Coupe:
SVT Cordova Top 354 4 Speed Manual Transmission361 Rear Axle-Saf-T-Track-HD382 Radio-AM Pushbutton391 Rear Seat Speaker453 Wheels-Rally II472 Console484 Cluster & Clock-Rally Gauge731 Air Cleaner-Dual Stage-HD
James' GTO was restored more than a decade ago but still shows very well. The original drivetrain was rebuilt at the time of restoration and an in dash tachometer and Delco AM-FM radio were added. Both work great along with the all of the original options.
This GTO starts. hits high idle. runs. and shifts great. It's a wonderful driver with no squeaks or rattles. It's truly a joy to drive.  
The paint and optional Cordova top are in very good condition. Only minor nicks to note. I have taken many photos to highlight the finish. The interior shows real well including the seats. door panels. and carpet. The dash pad is cracked in the center. All window glass is in good shape.
The undercarriage is rock solid with no rust issues. Only minor scale due to age. Suspension bushings are newer and add to the wonderful driving experience. Again. many photos below highlighting the condition.
