No other automaker in the '60s embodied performance quite like Pontiac. While most brands had one or two performance cars in their stable, EVERY Pontiac had a wide variety of spirited powerplants and transmissions, plus a nasty reputation on the street. Dramatic styling went hand-in-hand with these Ponchos, with unique, aerodynamic styling found across the model line. Cars like this gorgeous full-sized 1968 Pontiac Grand Prix hardtop were perfect examples of that philosophy - with a beautiful design, a powerful 400/350HP V8, great factory options, and a comfortable interior that brilliantly tows the line between sport and luxury.
1968 marked the final year for the big-bodied, B-Body Grand Prix. There's no question this is a full-sized car, but the sleek, redesigned shape hides the mass and definitely looks fast. Up front, the '68 GP received a pronounced 'beak-nose' grille, a new front bumper, and horizontally-mounted and concealed headlights from the previous model year. A look at the profile and the eye is immediately drawn to the sharp body crease running from end-to-end, and the pronounced lower-body 'gills' behind the doors add more intrigue to the one-year only design. Pontiac always knew how to take educated risks in their designs, transforming otherwise bland sheetmetal into works of art. Out back, this hardtop sports a revised decklid and big chrome bumper with integrated L-shaped taillights. Finished in April Gold, it's has a slightly greener hue perhaps than traditional gold, but no less attractive. Bodywork is very nicely done with laser-straight sheetmetal, particularly on those dramatic quarters, and while it's not exactly a trailer queen, it's still a strong competitor in the local show field that will bring home a lot more trophies before it's done. With that being said, it can be used as a top-of-the-heap driver classic right away, garnering huge attention everywhere it goes. Most of the chrome is concentrated within the beautiful ornate front grille and hideaway headlights, the massive chrome bumpers at each end sparkle against the gold paint, and the black vinyl 'Cordova' top makes it look more like a grown-up's car.
There's something about a full-sized car with bucket seats and a console that screams performance at any cost. It's like they forgot it was a luxury car and went right for the good stuff when checking off options on the original window sticker (of which we have an official copy), including power windows, locks, and driver's seat, cruise control, and factory A/C that's been converted to R134a refrigerant but could still use a recharge. And if you look closer for the A/C controls, you'll spot them to the right of the steering wheel in a configuration that looks just like the factory push-button radio – a pretty rare set-up by both location and style. The goldish-green seat covers and carpets are quite nice and probably original (or at the least exact OEM replacements), with matching door panels that were redesigned for '68 and a beautifully expansive dash that embodies Pontiac's performance/luxury style. There's woodgrain applique throughout, and it doesn't look like the cheap stuff, bringing in a rarified air of sophistication inside the spacious cabin. Factory gauges cover the basics, so a duo of Equus auxiliary units were installed in the center console to provide the driver with more information, and just above them a modern Pioneer AM/FM/CD head unit was installed to handle the tunes. An aftermarket steering with a real wood rim was swapped in and fits the theme of the interior perfectly, especially with the Pontiac-emblem horn button in the center. The rear bench seat is spacious and looks to have been rarely used in its time, and out back the cavernous trunk holds a properly mounted bias-ply spare tire and jack set that's likely the original set, along with an original Pontiac rubber mat on the floor.
The engine a burly 400 cubic inch V8, which is very likely the car's original powerplant according to the block's casting and suffix code, although we won't know for certain unless a full VIN can be pulled. Originally rated at 350 horsepower, the 6.6L engine was later made famous with its credentials scrolled on the side of the Trans AM shaker hood scoop. Even though the EPA had started to choke American motors as early as '68, it's still plenty powerful and pulls this big hardtop around with the kind of effortlessness you'd expect from the brand, and it still has the oats to show its taillights to some pretty serious machinery. It's nicely detailed and fairly correct under the hood, with the only notable upgrade being the newer A/C compressor. Pontiac Turquoise engine enamel on the block and valve covers, the oversized black snorkeled air cleaner, and the 4-barrel carburetor underneath are all part of Pontiac's knowledge that they were building cars for car guys and gals. The undercarriage isn't flashy, but it's solid as can be and looks super-clean coated in black protective finish, with all the new components up front showing off the recently rebuilt front suspension. The TH400 3-speed automatic offers snappy shifts and the ride is luxury car smooth, although the bark from the fresh Flowmaster-style dual exhaust system suggests there's a little more here than meets the eye. American Racing Torque Thrust wheels are the perfect choice here, and they're wrapped in 255/40/17 front and 275/40/17 rear performance radials that tuck into the fender wells perfectly.
Offered with PHS documentation, original owner's manuals and service books, a reproduction build sheet, and a copy of the original window sticker, this Gran Prix is as loaded with provenance as it is with curb appeal. Not many of these beauties missed the crusher, it's great to see one so darn clean and dialed-in come through our doors. Call today!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!
DISCLAIMER
: This site and all advertising information may be updated without notice whenever new information is obtained and may contain mistakes and inaccuracies. Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
Fees and Taxes
Sales tax, title, license fee, registration fee, dealer documentary fee, finance charges, emission testing fees, and compliance fees are additional to the advertised price. Vehicle is listed locally, we reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
