Yeah Woj, give the birthday boy his wish. Throw a quick member's ride together to feed us hungry wolves!!!

Re: 1968 GTO Automatic, Air Cleaner
 

Just to be clear, the picture I posted is from a two owner car that, at the time the picture was taken, the motor had never been out of the car. The original owner added air and power brakes in 1969-1970 due to having MS.

On a side note, it's a factory power 6-way bench seat.

That's a bare bones 68 GTO! Manual brakes, manual steering. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

My early , Oct. 1967 , Ram Air automatic 1968 GTO came off the transport truck with this same air cleaner installed and the Ram Air air cleaner , hood plate and hood scoops in the trunk.

I just talked with my cousin.....he added the decal on the air cleaner and its a 4-way power seat....not a 6-way. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

Re: 1968 GTO Automatic, Air Cleaner
 

Hi everyone, thanks for the responses. Here is the dilema; I've got a chance to buy an air cleaner from a 68 goat that is in better shape than the one on my '68 GTO. Unfortunately the codes/part number aren't the same. My car has 34k original miles and other than a couple fender benders, doesn't appear to have had much abuse or neglect.

The air cleaner on my 68 has the code PR with a part number of 64324827 and specifies an AC 279 element:

The one I have a chance to buy has the code PP with a part number of 64324826 and specs an AC 212CW element:

I cannot see a physical difference between the two. The Pontiac parts manual that I have at home does not have the 4826 air cleaner listed, but does list the 4827 as applicable to 68 -69 400 - 4bbl f/8, t/8, p/8, gp/8. I did look at my PHS docs and it does specify a high volume (I think that is what it said) air cleaner.

Is there a chance the factory made a mistake? Any inputs would be appreciated. I was thinking I should check the owner's manual to see what element it specifies, but I'm currently out of town.

Here are a few pix of the car. It was originally sold at Myrtle Motors in NY. I did get a copy of the bill of sale. If the original owner is still alive, he is around 92 years old.

Someone will notice this so I'll mention it now, the GTO emblem is on the wrong side of the deck lid, the lid appears original but I'm guessing this got changed out by someone.

Once again, thanks for the input.

Phil Woj.

Woj,

What does Pontiac call that color? It looks great w that vinyl roof. Also, what is &quot;EZ All &quot;, &quot;Air Cleaner&quot; and &quot;Exth Ext.&quot; on the vehicle invoice?

Re: 1968 GTO Automatic, Air Cleaner
 

Believe it or not that color is called April Gold
