Vehicle Description
You're looking at a real-deal 1964 Pontiac GTO convertible. Yes,
this drop-top was one of the first few that were snuck out the door
to prove to Detroit that all of America loved the idea of a big V8
motor in a lighter package. And because this car is so significant
you'll love to see its original in the right places, like the motor
and four-speed trans. This also has the right well-integrated
upgrades like four-wheel disc brakes to go with an already highly
optioned car. The result is a rare classic that was made for those
who love to drive.
This is a genuine first-year GTO, so everyone at the car shows can
thank your convertible for starting the muscle car craze. But more
than just history, you'll love the level of care and investment
that has gone into the granddaddy of all big power cars. Black is
always a great color for a muscle machine. While this was born this
intimidating color, it has been refreshed later in life to still
give a good shine today. The panels align well, the brightwork is
complete, and the black convertible top fits snugly. So you have a
rare car that has a terrific driver-quality sense...and that's why
this one was really made to be enjoyed. You see that on the
upgraded set of Coys wheels. They not only give you added polish,
but they allow you to fit the upgraded brakes and more modern
rubber. This one showcases them with the red calipers and
classic-style redline tires.
Not only are the hints of red a great aggressive touch for the
exterior, but it's also nice coordination with the full red
interior. So you'll love showing off this full package to the
world. We have the reproduction window sticker that shows how this
was born quite a luxurious machine. After all, seldom do you find a
factory power driver's seat outside of a Cadillac. Plus, you have
power windows and a power convertible top. A rare duo that means
you never have to leave the driver's seat when you want to open
this one up to the world. This also has provisions for great
features like an upgraded stereo and air conditioning (they will
just need servicing to function again.) And of course, a GTO makes
for a great driver's machine. The sports style steering wheel has
power steering and is on a tilt column. From this view you start to
see some very cool features. The machine-turned dash console is a
hallmark of the GTO, and it's the perfect home for the original
components such as the speedo and tach. Just below it is a full set
of auxiliary gauges. More than just a loaded presentation, there is
true distinction here. All first-year GTOs were rare, but the
convertible was the rarest and most expensive with less than 6,700
made for this inaugural run. So you know how difficult it will be
to find a better optioned or more complete example of this 55+
year-old true classic.
The 389 cubic-inch V8 in the engine bay is what started the
revolution. That's why they made sure to keep this numbers-matching
motor looking as factory as possible. It's still properly dressed
in the Pontiac light blue block and shiny valve covers. Even the
correct Carter four-barrel carburetor is still on top and the
original alternator comes with the sale. But originality doesn't
mean missing out on care. This includes a new oil pan gasket,
clutch, flywheel, motor mounts, rotor cap, and a carb rebuilt were
all done within the last few years. It fires up readily as it makes
a nice tune out or the newer 2.5-inch dual exhaust. The
numbers-matching Muncie M20 four-speed feeds a Positraction rear
end, and so you have proper control over this power package. And
speaking of control, the four-wheel power disc brakes package with
drilled and slotted rotors make for a far more confident feeling on
the road.
Such a unique and rare first-year GTO convertible needs to come
with the right paperwork. That's why the sale comes with the
reproduction window sticker and Pontiac Historic Services (PHS)
paperwork. This is the first-year, big-power GTO with all the
features you want. So don't let it slip away, call today!
