Featured on AutoHunter, the on the internet auction platform driven by ClassicCars.com, is this 1964 Pontiac GTO.
While there are a few autos that technically defeated it to market, to lots of people the Pontiac GTO stood for the birth of the whole idea of the muscle auto and was truth driver for those that followed it. If it weren’t for the GTO we may not have the SS Chevelles, Hemi Cudas, Buick Skylark GS, Ford Torino GT or the Olds 442. It ushered in an age of efficiency in America that will forever hold fabulous condition in the enthusiast car area because of this. An enjoyable truth that adds to the GTOs trendy aspect is that a Pontiac staff member had the auto homologated by the FIA in 1964, which qualified the GTO to compete in European sports car auto racing.
Our AutoHunter Spotlight is a very first year 1964 GTO that went through a total restoration in 2018. It is powered by a rebuilt, fuel-injected 389cid V8 mated to a Super Turbine 300 two-speed transmission with a Safe-T-Track rear end. Equipment includes a center console, power guiding, a radio, power brakes, and a quad-outlet exhaust system. The auto is ended up in two-tone Alamo Beige and Singapore Gold paint over a Light Saddle plastic interior. It is supplied by the selling dealer with invoices, a reveal file, a build sheet, the eliminated original radio, and a clear title.
The seller defines the outside of this GTO, which seems in show problem, as having been redecorated in Alamo Beige(code R)with a Singapore Gold(code T)top as component of the remediation completed six years earlier. Features include quad headlights, rocker moldings, twin mirrors, door side guards, exhaust splitters, GTO badging, and a full-width taillight bezel. The vehicle rides on chrome 14-inch wheels with spinner-style center caps which were outfitted with brand-new, duration right Firestone tires at the time of the remediation. The inside, which also looks to be in program problem, is fitted with Light Saddle(code 216)bucket seats up front, a bench in the rear, and complementary products for the door panels, padded dash, headliner, facility console, seat belts, and carpeting. Attributes include visor vanity mirrors, power steering, Soft Ray colored glass, and a more recent retro-look radio. Instrumentation is housed in an engine-turned light weight aluminum dash which looks amazing and consists of a 120-mph speedometer and evaluates for the gas level and coolant temperature level. The five-digit mechanical odometer checks out 22,295 miles, however truth mileage on the framework is unidentified. Under the hood of the automobile is a rebuilt 389cid V8 that has had its four-barrel carburetor changed with a gas injection system. Some might complain concerning this yet this enhancement, which is relatively easy to fix, makes a muscle automobile such as this GTO much more drivable. When new, the engine generated 325 horse power and 428 lb-ft of torque and the fuel shot enhancement most likely increases these numbers a little. Power is directed to the back wheels using a console-shifted Super Turbine 300 two-speed transmission and a Safe-T-Track back differential with 3.23:1 tailoring. An early GTO is to me a cars and truck that will certainly always be searched for and
has been a real icon given that it was launched. Of all the muscular tissue cars on the planet, the one I would personally desire in my garage would be one of these. The auction for this 1964 Pontiac GTO finishes Wednesday, February 28, 2024 at 12:00 p.m. (MST)
