Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is excited to present this
awesome gold and burgundy 1964 Pontiac GTO for sale. This bad boy
is the real deal, with PHS documentation showing the W62 GTO
option, and L71 option for the tri-deuce-equipped 389 V8 that it
was built with. However, while it may still be a real GTO, it's
been treated to a heavy dose of "Restomod" upgrades. There is a
substantial binder with restoration photos and receipts from
throughout the process. It started with finding a "real 1964 GTO
with good bones", and from that starting point, the car was
delivered to Funkerhouser Brothers in Ramona, CA for disassembly
and its rebirth as a daily driver-capable vision of what a vintage
GTO with modern flair could be. Under the hood is a GM Performance
Parts LS376-525 mill, rated at 525HP. A giant custom aluminum
radiator with electric fan keeps the LS3 cool, and a serpentine
belt accessory drive system keeps the engine bay tidy. Backing the
potent bullet is a Tremec TKO 600 5-speed manual transmission
that's rated for that kind of power. A QTP scattershield is there
to protect the surroundings in the event that the clutch was ever
to grenade; but that's not likely given that a new Centerforce
clutch, and flywheel were installed in late 2023. Gear selection is
handled by a fresh Hurst Competition Plus shifter, which adds a
precision feel and solid reliability. A Holley carb and high output
MSD ignition was selected. Exhaust is handled by coated Hedman
Husler long tube headers feeding into a stainless dual exhaust
system, which sounds just right. Out back, a Strange Engineering
Dana 60 rear end was selected. The 3rd member features 35-spline
Chromoly axles, a gear-style locking differential, 3.55:1 axle
gearing, and a 1350 billet pinion yoke. Braking and suspension are
handled by a choice selection of stuff from CPP, and include power
4-wheel discs, and CPP's ProTouring suspension kit with upgraded
bushings and sway bars. A fresh set of BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires
wrap its American Racing Salt Flat Special aluminum wheels and
offer plenty of grip. Inside, you'll discover one of the nicest GTO
interiors ever. Featuring a new set of vintage style Classic
Instruments gauges, full leather interior (custom bucket seats up
front, door cards, rear bench, and additional leather trim) with
real wool carpet, Vintage Air HVAC, and a retro-style head unit
with Bluetooth capability, you'll really appreciate the amenities.
There's even a hidden kill switch (to keep thieves from being able
to start the car without knowing the secret)! Additional features
and options on this custom '64 GTO include Power Steering,
Seatbelts, and Tilt Steering Wheel. Don't miss out on this truly
one-of-a-kind GTO restomod!
