§ V.02What moves a car within the band
Within that band, convertible cars are the most frequently traded body style in this set (155 of 440 sales), and manual cars account for 218 of them. Condition, originality and documented history move a car further than any single specification, which is why the middle half of the range is wide.
The spread by variant, printed in full above, is usually wider than the spread by year: a hardtop at $56,000 and a coupe at $50,600 are not the same market, and a single median that mixes them describes neither.

§ V.06Questions
What is a 1968–1974 Pontiac GTO worth?
A 1968–1974 Pontiac GTO sold for a median of $52,250 across 440 completed auctions from January 2016 to October 2026 (BidBetter, as of 3 November 2026).
The middle half of those 440 sales fell between $37,875 and $73,500 (the typical range), and the full range after cleaning was $11,250 to $440,000.
What affects the price of a 1968–1974 Pontiac GTO?
Model year: by year, medians run from $23,750 for 1973 (3 sales) to $60,500 for 1970 (148 sales).
Body style: a hardtop holds a median of $56,000 on 35 sales, against $50,600 on 155 for a coupe.
Transmission: Manuals hold a median of $61,500 on 218 sales, against $43,000 on 169 for automatics.
Condition, originality and documented history move a car further than any single specification, which is why the middle half of sales spans $37,875 to $73,500.
Is the Pontiac GTO 1968-1974 going up or down in value?
Up. The 63 sales in the 12 months to 3 November 2026 had a median of $55,000, against $47,300 on 51 sales in the 12 months before, a rise of 16.3%. That compares whichever cars came to auction in each year, not the same cars sold twice, so read it as the direction of the market rather than a rate of appreciation.
How many Pontiac GTO sales is that based on?
440 completed auction sales, from January 2016 to 29 October 2026. The table above lists the 15 most recent, each linked to its auction record. The figures were last rebuilt on 3 November 2026.
What is the difference between the typical range and the full range?
The typical range is $37,875 to $73,500: half of all 440 sales fell inside it. The full range is $11,250 to $440,000, the cheapest and dearest sale that survived cleaning. The full range is set by outliers, so it is a boundary rather than a guide to what most cars bring.
Which body style holds its value best?
On this set, convertible is the most frequently sold at 155 sales with a median of $53,000. The highest median among body styles is hardtop at $56,000, though it rests on fewer sales. Each variant's median and count are in the table above.
Do manual or automatic cars sell for more?
In this set, manual cars account for 218 of 440 sales. Manuals hold a median of $61,500 on 218 sales, against $43,000 on 169 for automatics.
Does mileage change the value?
Mileage is recorded for part of this set, not all of it, so it is not used to adjust the median. It is shown in the sales table wherever the auction record carries it, and you can see the effect directly by comparing rows.
How current is this figure?
Data as of . The figures are rebuilt from completed sales on a schedule, and the date above is the date of the last rebuild, not the date this page was loaded.
§ V.07Method and sources
What these figures are. Every number on this page is computed from completed auction sales of Pontiac GTO cars built between 1968 and 1974. The median is the 50th percentile of the sale prices; the typical range is the 25th to 75th percentile; the full range is the lowest and highest sale that survived cleaning. Percentiles are linearly interpolated on the sorted prices.
What is excluded. Asking prices, reserve-not-met results, withdrawn lots and unsold cars are not prices and are not counted. Parts, memorabilia, literature, scale models and other non-vehicle lots are excluded. Sales not made in US dollars are excluded, so these figures describe the dollar market. Duplicate records are removed. Sales below a plausibility floor (5% of the median) and above a ceiling (10× the median) are set aside, because a $22 "911" is a data error rather than a cheap car.
What it is not. This is not an appraisal or an inspection, and it does not predict what any particular car will bring. Two cars built the same year can differ by more than the whole typical range on condition, originality, documentation and provenance.
The set. 440 sales from January 2016 to 29 October 2026, drawn from 10 auction sources, principally Barrett-Jackson (198), Bring a Trailer (188), Hemmings (14), Autohunter (12), Mecum (8), Hagerty (7), RM Sotheby's (6), Acc (5), Bonhams (1), Gooding (1). Data as of .
