On "My Car Story" we're at Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles IL at the 28th Annual Indian Uprising All Pontiac Weekend on 8-10-18.
We're looking at a 1968 Pontiac GTO in Alpine Blue Paint. The car comes with a factory 400 CI engine.
The car's Owner is Bob Bruzek. Bob’s purchased this car new. He shares he’d served in the military in Vietnam and came back to the US, and received an offer for work. He needed a car for work, and he saw this car was in the Dealership, and when he saw and heard this car, he purchased it on the spot.
ENJOY!

Good job soldier! My Boot Camp sergeant asked me why I joined the Navy. I told him I wanted to get out of that one horse town and didn’t feel like driving a forklift in a Christmas card factory in January. My friend got out of the army and 73 and bought a Trans Am 455 in dark green (one year only color). Nice ‘Goat’!

"Holy EPIC Stockin' feet KNOCKOUT😵, big brother Lou!" POW! SOCK! And perpetual JV baseball jock/Robin is KO'd, his balding head falls against his pillow (dreaming of chicks), his 150lb tubesocked stocking jock feet now limp as his floppy sneakers are flyin' to Illinois to be with you guys. And this EPICLY (is that a word? lol 🤣😜) awesome Pontiac GTO. That is 100% my reaction to this car, Lou. Hopefully Dad here will hang my sneakers on the rearview in one of these car shows-my boys would love that, man😜. Bob's story is just great and inspiring-a true American hero with clearly a big heart, how he loves and remembers his dear friend, takes care of his kids and wife. A moving story to go along with one of my favorite cars. Just a joy for me to watch your videos and hear back from you, too. Shows your heart and soul, big bro. Thanks, JV Johnny ⚾⚾

Beautiful Pontiac ! I have a customer that has a 67 Firebird convertible / California car . It still has all of the pollution attachments on the engine . I rebuilt the engine and we gutted the air pump and plugged a few holes to eliminate it . But visually it all looks original . He also has another 67 convertible that he bought new and it only has around 40,000 original miles , it wins shows frequently .

This was my favourite model year for the GTO. I love the shape of it, compared to the big box shaped earlier model. I live in the UK and back in the 70's a guy who lived in our small town had a GTO Judge in dark metallic blue with a white top and trunk spoiler. It really looked the business. Don't know what happened to the car, but I wish it was still around the North East Street of Britain. I saw many US cars in our town back then, Corvettes, Mustangs, Pontiac T/A's Olds Toronado's. Also an absolutely immaculate late 60's Buick Riviera, the one with hidden headlights. These cars to a spotty teenager back then were Awesome. Especially, given the garbage we had for cars at the time.

Lou this car is just stunning. As a young man their was no cooler car on the road than a '68 GTO. The car was such a radical departure from the previous models that were also gorgeous but the new '68 model with the endura bumper was sooo cool. Was there ever a run of beautiful models as the GM A-bodys from '68-72?? My dad had a '68 Tempest Custom wagon which had similar front end styling (chrome bumper) with a stock 350...the GTO was a whole other level!

I ordered mine from Beranek Pontiac in Berwyn, Illinois on April 7, 1968. The sticker price was $4,490. Was living in Hinsdale, Illinois at the time and the car had a lot of options. I picked the Aleutian Blue color which looked just like the car featured. I ran it at U.S. 30 Drag Strip one time. Mine had a 4-speed and Safe-T-Track rear end. I'am sorry I sold it in 1975 with 268,000 miles on it. Thanks for the memories.

A triad of Wows, two thumbs up, two big-toes up and a Rebel yell! GTOs are like Car Porn.., the lust factor is off the charts. When I was 16 looking for a car, I saw a 69 GTO on a used car lot, Crager Mags, faded green - the car roared like a beast, the engine built for melting pavement. The former owner even had a combination of switches to start it! My dad would not let me get it, citing that "boy this is a gas hog! No!". ANYWAYS - this 68 GTO is gorgeous to the nines! and I like the backstory.

My 68 I had for 16 years and regretfully sold it for a down payment on a house in 1995. I currently own a 2006 Goat, built for road racing with the only 2 options that you could get (18 inch wheel, 6 speed). Needless to say, this one stays with me forever!
