[Hogs472sssj]

i had one of these mine was the top of the line had the 389 gto motor with every option i put nascar style exhauset on it so fuckin loud.but the bad thing is that the fuel line broke and hit the exhaust pipe and it caught on fire while i was driving .and belive me. me and my brother had to jump out while it was going . i had a shaker hood scoop on mine . when it caught fire it caught the whole car on fire up and over the windshild . i miss this monster .bought it for 500 bucks . it was prfect

The reason you do not see many 68 GP's is that for so reason it was the worst year for the GP in sales. Only 38,000 sold, then in 69 when the new body came out people went crazy and sales that year were 112,000. 69 may have been the best year for all GM brands. Pontiac had a super 69 line-up.

@1969pontiac1 yup i know only saw one other here on youtube and it has a four speed!

[Tyrandosaurus]

@1969pontiac1 A damn shame they didn't do better - this body style is so much more beautiful than the 69...

[jmedranomusic]

that looks like a 63-67 continental pulling up.....

[tropicjester12]

@jmedranomusic actually thats pops going around the block in his 62 lincoln

[jmedranomusic]

@tropicjester12 either way, very pretty car....very good looking

[tropicjester12]

@jmedranomusic i have a video of it,check it out

[jagfug]

Why aren't cars this awesome anymore?

A. Politicians regulations posing as tree huggers when really they were on the take for the imported car companies.

Short answer? Liberals.

PS. Same car used in Goodfellas on the drive up the Taconic to bury Billy Batts

[dapsapsrp]

Fantastic piece of automotive history. Last year for the B body GP.

[mjs2439]

Awesome car!I have one just like it in the light green with a black top. It is my favorite car! You hardly ever see one of these anymore.

[mjs2439]

Great car! I have one just like it, but in the light green color with a black top. It is my favorite car!

[SebastianElf]

what a beauty!

[Tyrandosaurus]

This was my second car I too had a floor shift. I paid $500 dollars for it in 1978. My friends called it the Battlestar, because that show had just come out back then. Yours actually looks to be in much better shape body and paint-wise, but I drove it with no major problems for two and a half years before selling it for 50 bucks. What a mistake - it was one of the best cars I ever owned! Thanks for the memories!

[tropicjester12]

@Tyrandosaurus thanks for watching,these cars are pretty impressive performance wise,350 horse gto motor standard,I learned to drive in my brothers old 67 g.p,me and dad would drive around town and every once in awhile i would accident lite up the back tire oopps,lol

[chengloki]

@tropicjester12 Bernie R. is that you?? If it is, you'll know your old shipmate, Scotty. USS Milwaukee.

[tropicjester12]

@chengloki soorryy bud it is not,did he have a 68 gp also?

[chengloki]

@tropicjester12 Yes, he did. I was the one that introduced him to the '69. That wasback in the late '70's. I was the original owner of my'69. I called her "The Blue Bastard". She was delivered with a mistake in the order. She had the 400-MX. The police engine. You take care, and I'm sorry to have bothered you. I thought you were my old Shipmate. =Stefan=

[g20s10silveradoman]

reminds me of the movie Goodfella's

[retroolschool]

@g20s10silveradoman Except for the green colour this is EXACTLY the same as the one in that movie. Beautiful and underrated classic!

[The1FastGP]

BEUTIFULL

[mvdcdad1]

I had one from 1981 to 2001, i had the same green paint, full hard top, and it had rear fender skirts Man do I miss that car, I was a singe parent and had 2 cars and could not afford to maintain insurance on both, so I had to sell it, I still wish i had not. So are you keeping it or fixing it up for yourself ? Why was it parked for so long? Thanks for posting this video It has taken me back to some very special times with my son, I hope if you keep it you enjoy it as much as I did mine.

[harleyguyinmilw]

wow!! i drove the same car in highschool 30yrs ago, 'cept mine had bucket seats w/floor shift, did great block long burnouts, too bad it burn't to the ground. was a neat car .

[tropicjester12]

@poovens01 thanks ,this car just floats down the road,It has some crazy rear end gears like 2:56?or 2:73 

[pontiac40069]

awsome

[cubantoro]

Very nice... a very rare '68 Grand Prix.

[METH3454]

Sharp Looking , same year car they used in the movie "Goodfellas" .....

[tropicjester12]

thanks for watching!The Lincoln is my dads,I have some videos of it also.

[mikecio1]

...and I had fender skirts!

[tropicjester12]

fender skirts are in the trunk!

[mikecio1]

This model was my first car, it was the family hand me down. I would love to have another one day. Thanks for posting.

[tropicjester12]

thanks for watching the video,I used to drive this car to vo-tech as they called it back in the to autobody class, fun cruiser

[mikecio1]

When I was in HS they called it the "WOPmobile" Because I had cherry bombs on it and I am Italian... It sounded "wopwopwopwopwop"

[tropicjester12]

this car has veeery old glass packs loud as hell,wish i could have got it running on my vacation but time was short,next year!

[reesedacool]

nice man yout lucky but ur hard work pays off

[coolguy96abc]

nice car my friend might be getting one of these very soon!

[tropicjester12]

@coolguy96abc well did he get the 68 gp?

[pyr0static]

Thats a nice looking GP, although I never liked the vinyl tops. Or the color green on most cars :P Im guessing if its gone so long without work, none of you guys would know where to get a nose emblem... I noticed that one looks pretty good. Mine is just bare metal, all the rubbers rotted away :(

[tropicjester12]

thanks I dont care for green either but i like this color,I would try ames performance.If you go to their website you can get a free cataloge,what part of the country you from?

[pyr0static]

Texas, I've looked at the Ames catalogue, they don't have it unfortunately. One of the downsides to owning a one year body I suppose.

[fabiolas4]

VERY nice! like the one from goodfellas.

[tropicjester12]

thanks bud,really wanted to get a video of it running,but the fuel pump went to hell.I will try and get more videos up while I am on vacation!

[fabiolas4]

my favorite is a triple black or silver 77, but i like all gp's.
