The '68 GTO will never be a year model in high demand. (I own one) As compared to a '67 or '69 at least. If you are doing a full restoration, I feel you would retain more value keeping it a Le Mans than cloning. Keep a Pontiac block, stroke your original or bump a 400 to 468 if power is your thing, just no chebbies... Understand this is one man's opinion... if resale is not a concern and you want to make it suite you then the sky is the limit, enjoy!
To some degree, I agree with this answer. The '68 was not the most popular. However, the GTO, and even the clones, are worth more than the LeMans. If you are just looking for value in the end, go with the GTO conversion. Take a look around and you'll see that even the clones are going for ridiculous amounts. Personally, I like this body style with the hide away headlight option. I've never been one to worry about what would be worth more. Not unless I had something EXTREMELY rare. I've always built cars to my taste and with the intent of driving and enjoying them. So in the end it depends on what you are wanting to do with the car. Drive and enjoy.....or sell it for the highest dollar. Either way the GTO clone will bring more but keep in mind it will cost more to find the parts and convert it.
yes it should be the same seat.
