I hope this thread isn't just about Mopars because there were some hot ones from some other brand x companies as well...

Re: What's New for 1968
While this is an internet file photo, it is what I was driving (16 years old) in 1968. The interior in mine was a dark red. All else the same.
At least I could say no one else, locally, had one. Only saw one other like it over the years. NOT fast but the cool factor of a convertible at 16.......

Charlie,,,,,,,,
What was the 1/4 mile performance test on the 68' Buick GS400. I remember the basic GS400 400/340HP running around 15.00's @ 92 MPH. All were automatics, I never saw a 4-speed. Last edited by Paul Ceasrine; 03-29-2012 at 05:04 PM. |
