68 Grand Prix--yay or nay?

A big Poncho w/ hideaways and a stick is a great combo...good luck w/ the sale!.

The only thing cooler for '68 may be the Canadian Grande Parisiennes we got up here...B-Body Ponchos w/ hideaways and factory Chevy MK1V's!.

When I lived in Detroit a few years ago, I looked at a '68 2+2 ragtop with a 427/385 4-speed.

Ah, that must have been really cool.

My "first" car was a 1970 Sport Fury, so I have an affinity for big cars. Plus they're so roomy. Had bucket seats, Rallye Wheels, console. Sadly, it was an automatic. I swear if I ever find a 4-speed, I'll do whatever it takes to get it.

Also a big fan of the '69 Biscaynes, Impalas & Caprices with 4-speeds.

A '68 L36 2+2 Ragtop would surely be a low build but w/ the stick too...WW!.
Do you remember what color it was and if it had hideaways?.
I wonder if any of the same combo were ever built w/ the L72?.

It was triple black, and I think only the Grand Parisiennes had hidden headlights. And I don't believe any L72s were built in Canada ever.

Although the L36 was the top published option, there were some L72 Pontiac cars built..

Sorry for the thread hijack..

I feel as I should chime in here seeing as I posted this in the first place and it's starting to get a little out of hand. My intention for the post was to get a gauge on what the car was worth, not to bash it. I obviously really like the car, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered posting.

I'm not really sure why people took the "HO" comment and ran with it. I never, ever thought he was claiming it was an HO, and as I've already stated, I thought his intent of stating it was the opposite--to say it's definitely not an HO.

In any event, Don, I apologize if this has caused you any grief. It's an incredibly cool, rare car, and I hope you get for the car what you're asking. I merely posted to gauge the value of the car, as while a car may be rare, it doesn't always translate into high $. Overall, I think people are overreacting on all fronts.

In any event, good luck with the sale. It's a great car.
