About as good as it gets in '68 save the Ram Air II....

Love the color combo and power options.

I didn’t know rally one wheels were available in 1968.

REally nice, Rally ones were rarely ordered in 68, every once in a while you see one.
My 68 HO 4 spd is Alpine Blue with the same interior, Parchment buckets with headrests, thought it's got 8 track, console, rear defog, rally pack gauges, power ant, and ralley II's with redlines. I wish it were in the same condition.

Love this car!! Rally I's look great on 68's. I bought a well optioned 1 owner 1968 LeMans in Sacramento back in the mid 80's with Rally I's.

Rally I wheels, 65-68.

You rarely see them on a ‘68.

I’ve never really cared for the ‘68 model, but I do like this one.

That's an amazing car and would look great next to my 69 SJ.

Props to the dealer for not painting the bumper to flip.

----I bet there's a problem hiding under that steering wheel wrap. It would look better with the optional wheel anyway. Great GTO, especially with the Rally 1's on it......Bill S

Bill... I would expect it to be in excellent shape as is the rest of the interior. I would love to remove that cover and detail the entire wheel!! I do agree, the custom sports wheel is far more attractive.

When closing the hood of a ‘68 and ‘69, never ever pull it straight down.

Keep hood hinges lubricated and “push” the hood towards the windshield.
Works every time and does not bend / buckle the hood.

Trust me, I’ve seen many bent hoods on these years.

Beautiful ‘68 HO.

I'm not sure what those dopey little reflectors are on the headlight doors, hopefully just adhesive backed add on. The steering wheel wrap could just be to address the same thing I hated on my 68, the stock wheel is so skinny it's almost uncomfortable to use. Based on the condition of the rest of the interior (if original), especially the dash chrome, I'm guessing it's ok underneath.

Nice car. That dealership must have Armor All fed through a paint gun.

Nice looking car but it looks odd to me that the woodgrain treatment does not continue over the the left of the instrument cluster. I guess I'm one of those guys who likes his symmetry.

I didn't realize until yesterday that there is such a difference between the dashes in 68 and 69 GTO's.

I always liked the 68's better just for that reason. The back bumper on the 69's look better, but other than that, the interior and grill on a 68 give them a better overall look.

Relisted for $75k obo in the link below. My experience with the consigning dealer is they are willing to make significant price adjustments for a serious buyer....

In every instance I've reached out, they were consigning for the owners.

Anyone else notice the typo on the original window sticker? Close Ratio 4-speed is an M21, code 358 is correct.

I did this once in the 80s.
