This 1964 GTO 389/4 speed has passed the test of time and is a well
taken care of, lightly restored survivor! Credited as starting the
'muscle car era' most 4 speed GTOs found them selves wrapped around
telephone polls, rusted out, hot rodded or vanished to never be
seen again! This 4 speed is a rare, all original site to see. The
silver exterior paint is a stunning fresh repaint and matches
nicely with the black vinyl top and interior. The original rebuilt
389 motor is healthy and sounds the same as it did in 1964. The
black bucket seat interior is a true time capsule. The dash and
console show minor wear and tear adding character and history to
the driving experience. Complete with PHS documents.Overall, if
your looking for a very original 4 speed GTO that drives like new,
look no further!
History:
The first Pontiac GTO was available as an optional package for the
Pontiac Tempest, available in coup, hardtop, and convertible body
styles. The US$295 package included a 389ci V8 rated at 325hp at
4,800 rpm with a single Carter AFB four-barrel carburetor and dual
exhaust pipes, chromed valve covers and air cleaner, seven-blade
clutch fan, a floor-shifted three-speed manual transmission with a
Hurst shifter, stiffer springs, larger diameter front sway bar,
wider wheels with 7.50 14 redline tires, hood scoops, and GTO
badges. Optional equipment included a four-speed manual
transmission, Super Turbine 300 two-speed automatic transmission, a
more powerful engine with 'Tri-Power' carburetors (three two-barrel
Rochester 2G carburetors) rated at 348hp, metallic drum brake
linings, limited-slip differential, heavy-duty cooling, ride and
handling package, and the usual array of power and convenience
accessories. With every available option, the GTO cost about
US$4,500 and weighed around 3,500 lbs. A tachometer was optional,
and was placed in the far right dial on the dash.
