1968 PONTIAC GTO CUSTOM COUPE RE-CREATION

Details

This 1968 Pontiac GTO custom coupe recreation is powered by a supercharged LS engine paired with a 4L80E 4-speed automatic transmission that pushes 550hp and nearly 600 ft/lbs of torque. It is equipped with a Stage 2 cam kit from Brian Tooley, including a camshaft, LS7 lifters, valve springs, hardened pushrods, gaskets top and bottom, Melling high-volume oil pump, billet timing chain and ARP hardware throughout. The engine is complemented by a Holley front accessory drive and ATI harmonic

balancer. This Stage 3 transmission rebuild is equipped to handle 1,000hp and includes upgraded intermediate band, 34 element sprag, stator support bushing and a heavy-duty forward clutch kit. A TransGo shift kit was installed with the idea for a mild shift bump through gears. It features a Hotchkis tubular suspension front and back with a heavy-duty sway bar dressed in black. Complementing the aftermarket suspension is a Currie Ford 9-inch rear axle with a 3.70 rear gear, posi-traction and Wilwood 4-piston brakes. The front brake system is a large 6-piston kit from Wilwood. The wheel and tire package consists of custom-spec staggered Forgeline wheels that house large 13-inch rims, with all four wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tires. The interior includes factory vinyl bucket seats, B&M ratchet shifter, Dakota Digital gauges, carbon-fiber dash accents, a Vintage Air system and Bluetooth-compatible RetroSound display. Modern amenities include power windows and a complete security system with Bluetooth stereo.
