The 1964 Pontiac GTO is the car that's widely hailed as the first
true American muscle car, but it was built from a formula that
hot-rodders and racers had already been using for decades - a
bigger engine in a lighter car. Soon, other brands - both from
within General Motors and all across Detroit - wanted to get in on
the action, and the muscle car era was born. This muscle car's
interior is in beautiful condition, and is where you will find the
only aftermarket part that is currently on the car - the steering
wheel. (It should come as no surprise that the original steering
wheel also comes with the car.) The condition of the interior is as
new, and includes original gauges including the no-redline
tachometer and 120-mph speedometer, bucket seats, center console
mounted vacuum gauge, push button radio, and retractable seat
belts. Machined-steel dash trim surrounded by black padding and
blue-painted lower dash with GTO emblem completes the
performance-oriented look. The car's trunk area is clean with a
factory-style vinyl mat, spare tire, and jack in place. This old
GOAT's exterior is in beautiful condition - both the top side and
the underside have been finished with care, and attention to
detail. Cameo Ivory exterior paint was professionally
applied-including in the engine bay, door jambs, and fuel-filler
areas-and is of uniform, standout quality. All glass-lighting
lenses, windshield, and side windows-is clear and unblemished.
Chrome trim on the bumpers, grille, side mirrors, windshield
surround, and hood scoops is all in excellent, show-worthy
condition. GTO badging front, rear, and both sides is correct, and
correctly located. The wheels wear the optional custom wheel discs
with spinners and redline tires. Under the hood, the Tri-Power
chrome air cleaners crown the engine. Properly painted in the
Pontiac turquoise the engine block also features chromed valve
covers. In all, the engine compartment is clean and tidy with hoses
and components properly located throughout. From underneath, the
car's dual exhaust is correct, and the restored undercarriage shows
very nicely. This is a beautiful example of a classic Pontiac, and
a great example of one of the first Muscle Cars to roam the roads
of America. A 389 V8 under the hood, understated color combination,
and the subject of a full restoration this is a classic to make
room for in your collection. VIN Decode: 8 - Engine Type: V8 2 -
