1964 Pontiac GTO

The Holy Grail of the ''original muscle car''! Born like you see it and documented by Pontiac Historical Services (PHS). A factory Nocturne Blue GTO with white interior, #'s matching 389 tri-power, 4 speed manual and a posi. They don't get any better than this! It has gone through a meticulous, concours, body off frame restoration to factory specs using restored original or NOS parts when available. ''Still in the wrapper'' with only 19 miles on the odometer since completion! Sold new at Tate Motors in Pomona California. Then it was a barn find, literally, and we have pictures! A GM engineer collected muscle cars during the late 70s gas crunch. He parked them all over town and had 3 GTOs including this one which was parked in a real barn until a lucky hunter rescued them about 10 years ago. Since then, the restoration was performed. The rest is history, as the saying goes. EXTERIOR: Amazing! The metal flake in the Nocturne Blue paint is all laid out evenly and polished like glass. What an impressive color when seen in person! Looking down the side of the body it is absolutely laser straight with crisp lines and smooth contours. The panels are all flush, square, and beautifully aligned with consistent gaps that are spot on. The doors close easily with minimal effort. Triple plated chrome. The bumpers, trim pieces, handles, mirrors and even the hood inserts have an impressive shine. It has the correct T3 headlights. The front grille and taillights are both in pristine condition. All the emblems are sparkling. Every piece of glass was replaced. It's rolling on steel rims that were painted black with poverty hubcaps. They are wrapped in reproduction redline tires. INTERIOR: Double amazing! Factory white against the amazing factory blue paint! The door latch assemblies, weatherstrips, and sill plates have been replaced. The jambs are painted slick, just like the body. Everything looks new including the door panels, armrests, handles, cranks, and trim. All the metal inside has been neatly repainted and the optional dash pad was replaced. The machine turned gauge bezel is just so beautiful to look at. The gauges all look fresh and there is only 19 miles on the odometer since completion. Even the climate controls and radio are spotless. The glove box liner, sun visors and headliner were all replaced. The bucket seats have been reupholstered and the back seat was redone in matching vinyl. The kick panels and carpeting were replaced, plus it has reproduction floor mats. Also down on the floor is some deluxe seatbelts for the front passengers. It came from the factory with a tachometer, 4 speed shifter, and deluxe 4 spoke steering wheel. All the interior lights and dome light are working. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Correct and #'s matching! The 389 when ordered with the tri-power carbs made 348 hp and 424 lbs of torque. This has been restored to factory specs which includes the 421 heads that have bigger ports, valves and heavy duty springs too. They also had aluminum pistons plus cast crank and rods. The carburetors have the correct tags, foams etc. The chrome valve covers are also correct and it has date coded spark plug wires. All the hoses were replaced and the assembly line codes were recreated on the firewall. Equipped with a heavy-duty radiator and 7 blade clutch fan. The battery is properly secured and the horns are hooked up. The original trim tag is in place. The bottom side of the hood is complete with insulation. The fender wells and firewall were all neatly painted satin black just like when it left the factory. It is detailed as if it just rolled off the assembly line. TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Lift the lid and you will see excellent body color paint everywhere. It is equipped with a full-size spare tire, jack assembly, lug wrench and mat just like when it left the factory. Under the mat there is nothing but body colored Nocturne Blue that was applied to pristine rust-free metal. It even has factory style inspection marks on the wea
