1968 Pontiac GTO – Verdoro Green with Black Vinyl Top
Why This Car Is Special
Pontiac’s legendary GTO, widely regarded as the car that launched the muscle car era, received a striking redesign for 1968. One of its most notable innovations was the body-color Endura front bumper, engineered to absorb low-speed impacts without permanent damage.

Why This Car Is Special
Pontiac’s legendary GTO, widely regarded as the car that launched the muscle car era, received a striking redesign for 1968. One of its most notable innovations was the body-color Endura front bumper, engineered to absorb low-speed impacts without permanent damage. Pontiac famously demonstrated this feature in period advertising by hammering the bumper with no visible effect.
This example is a true 242 VIN-code 1968 Pontiac GTO, powered by the correct YS-code 400 cubic inch V8 rated at 350 horsepower. Documentation confirms the car was originally ordered with the 400 engine and 4-speed manual transmission, along with desirable factory options including retractable headlight covers, hood-mounted tachometer, center console, power steering, ride and handling package, and Safe-T-Track rear axle.
The car has undergone a frame-off, rotisserie restoration and has been professionally returned to its original and highly sought-after “Q” code Verdoro Green finish.

Mechanical
Power comes from the YS-coded 400ci V8, rated at 350 horsepower from the factory. The engine features a factory black air cleaner, chrome valve covers, Pontiac blue paint on the block, heads, and intake, along with a 4-barrel carburetor, tube headers, and dual exhaust. Everything is housed in a clean, fully detailed engine bay.
Backing the V8 is a Hurst-shifted 4-speed manual transmission and a 10-bolt rear end, giving the driver full control of the car’s performance. Period testing recorded quarter-mile times of approximately 14.7 seconds at 97 mph in stock form, highlighting the GTO’s impressive factory performance.
Interior
The interior is finished in gold upholstery, featuring twin front bucket seats, a matching rear seat, and coordinating door panels. Authentic details include wood-grain dash trim, factory radio, factory and accessory gauges, a three-spoke Pontiac steering wheel, center console, and gold carpeting—creating a classic muscle car cockpit with excellent presentation.
Exterior
The exterior showcases the bold presence that made the GTO famous, finished in its restored original Verdoro Green paint. Signature features include the Endura front bumper, Hide-Away headlights, hood-mounted tachometer, dual mirrors, and black vinyl top.
The car rides on factory Rally wheels wrapped in raised white-letter BFGoodrich tires, with dual exhaust exiting through chrome tips. Distinctive design elements such as the dual hood scoops and prominent hood bulge further emphasize the aggressive muscle car styling.
Conclusion
This 1968 Pontiac GTO represents a rare opportunity to own a properly documented, professionally restored example of one of the most iconic muscle cars ever built. With its true 242 VIN, correct 400 V8, 4-speed manual transmission, and factory performance options, it looks, runs, and drives exceptionally well.
Recognized as Car of the Year following the introduction of the Endura front end, the 1968 GTO remains a defining piece of American automotive history—and this example captures that legacy beautifully.
