This is a one owner, 1968 Pontiac Grand Prix and WAS an H.O.428, 4 speed. It has a factory hood tachometer, A/C, P/S, 8 lug Pontiac sport wheels, factory buckets, and a real cool factory console. The car is missing parts here and there and a few trim parts the keys, needs a lower front valance panel, and has 2 bad motor mounts which is why the car was parked. I have relisted the vehicle with some IMPORTANT changes. It was brought to my attention that some parts had been swapped on the motor. The intake manifold is not the proper part and therefore I can not sell the car as numbers matching or original as I was told when I bought it. HOWEVER, this car is 1 of only 195 built so I have GREATLY reduced the price in order for the Buyer to use funds to bring it back to stock. Please do not ask for codes or numbers. I have cleaned the block and can't find the WJ. The paint on the block does look like factory paint. I noticed that when cleaning while looking for codes so I think that is good news but can't confirm anything. I am selling all of my projects due to serious injuries from a car crash. This restoration was going to be my unicorn, my white whale so I hope it goes to a great Pontiac person out in internet land. I know all the parts are available and the used Pontiac parts guys can set you right up. They have 428 parts from other models that do cross match to the G.P.and will have matching numbers. (My last project to sell is a 65 Impala SS, factory buckets and console, rare color combo and one of the early 65's that had a 409 before the BBC was ready. Inquire if interested and I will list it.) When this vehicle does have the H.O. drive train, the 1968 Grand Prix is very rare! The original owner gave me an email from the Pontiac Historic Society inferring they feel only 10 or less H.O. models remain on the road. Internet research seems to confirm that. In fact, the top 3 restoration catalogs don't even list a 1968 Grand Prix. I can tell you it is a very solid candidate for restoration given it is 50 years old. It does have bad spots on each quarter around the rear wheels that appeared to be repaired before and now is cracking and bubbling with rust. I am sure after blasting, you will find surprises. However, the floors are solid as is the trunk and chassis. In fact, the only horrible rust is the battery tray area. Please do your own research, as I am only passing on what I was told and read on the internet.
