Vehicle Description
1964 Pontiac GTO PHS Documents Nocturne Blue
Why This Car Is Special
We have a ground up restored, laser straight, California 1964 GTO
that sold at Barrett Jackson in 2015 here in our showroom at Skyway
Classics. It is documented matching numbers, having its 389 engine
stamped with the 6 digit EUN, engine unit number, that is listed on
its build sheet, upgraded with Tripower, 4-speed transmission, and
factory Safe-T-Track (posi-traction) rear end. It also has the VIN
stamped into its M20 transmission and the axle ratio is stamped on
the inner side of the right rear axle housing.
We think this is probably one of the best ones in the country and
words cannot describe how nice this GTO is as you must see it to
believe it.
It has tons of documentation with it including the PHS paperwork,
Build Sheet, receipts, and so much more.
This is an immaculate restored GTO and it looks absolutely better
than new. It was made at the Fremont, CA plant on April 23, 1964
(4/23/64) then shipped to the dealer, Balestra Pontiac, Redwood
City, CA. This is the typical car a new car Pontiac dealership
would put on its sales lot-- 2-door post coupe, 4 bbl, 4 speed
transmission, redline tires, Saf-T-Track (positraction), tinted
windshield and tachometer. If a buyer wanted tripower, the setup
would be put in the trunk.

Mechanical Specs
Our GTO is a documented numbers matching car that looks as it did
when it left the factory in Fremont California.
It has had the correct date coded Tri-Power System added (it was
originally a four-barrel carb), the Pontiac blue painted correct
date coded block, heads, and intake, blue correct valve covers,
factory exhaust manifolds, factory correct tags, decals, and
markings on the frame and chassis, updated Griffin radiator with
correct Pontiac top plus a electric fan so it runs cool, dual
exhaust, and power goes to the just rebuilt original 4-speed
transmission and to the factory original Posi rear end with 3:23
gears.
One look at the underside of our GTO and you can see the quality
restoration of the frame and all related components. It rides on
Pontiac factory steel wheels with Pontiac Motor Division (dog dish)
center caps and Redline tires. The rumbling exhaust note exits from
the chrome splitters and sounds fantastic.
Interior
The interior has been completely redone in factory correct black
vinyl. It has the twin front bucket seats and matching rear seat,
factory working AM Radio, and original optional factory woodgrain
4-spoke steering wheel, 4-speed Hurst shifter and ivory ball on
top, black carpeting, door panels, and everything looking new since
this is a real time-capsule of a GTO.
Exterior
Our 1964 GTO has had a near concours, nut and bolt restoration, and
it shows. The styling for 1964 was understated but crisp, and ours
is presented in deep Nocturne Blue paint, complemented by the black
interior
.
The exterior features a repaint of Nocturne Blue, chrome bumpers,
unique one year only factory correct original hood with scoops,
"GTO 6.5 Litre" emblems, excellent stainless trim and chrome
bumpers, laser-straight body lines, and great fitment.
This is the car that was soon popularized in song, "Lil GTO" and
marketed to the growing younger market creating an entirely new
niche of vehicles we now call muscle cars.
Conclusion

1964 GTO, like the car offered here at Skyway Classics, remains
"The Great One" to many enthusiasts.
