Vehicle Description
1964 Pontiac GTO - Black on Black, Tri-Power, Manual Transmission,
Locking Differential.
This is the muscle car that started it all - the 1964 Pontiac GTO.
This example is in mostly original condition, it appears to have
been repainted at some point over the years, but all in all a great
car with the right components.
According to the trim tag, this GTO is the correct series and body
style which is code ""2237"" - LeMans 2-door Hardtop Sport Coupe
with code ""5N"" designating the GTO group. Built date code ""02D""
(4th week of February, 1964) in Kansas City, MO. The paint is the
correct factory Starlight Black exterior, color code ""A-A""
(Starlight Black upper and lower). Overall, the body's sheet metal
is in very good condition, the full-length frame is very solid with
no signs of rust holes or cracks, the rocker panels and lower
portions of the fenders, doors and quarter panels are looking good
where these cars typically have issues. The chrome is in nice
condition for being original, from the bumpers to the door handles,
to the exterior's trim.
The interior is beautiful, finished in the correct color code
""214"" black, matching the trim tag designation. This Sport Coupe
features bucket seats up front in great shape with no rips or
tears, only minor wear on the left ""rope"" seat trim while the
matching rear bench seat looks just as good. The center console
houses the 4-speed shifter and rear storage compartment. The dash
board and gauge cluster appear to be original and in great shape -
the odometer reads 16,019 miles that are unverified. The factory
push button AM radio still sits intact and looks great along with
the heater control panel just above. All of the interior side
panels are free from wear or damage, the black carpet has been
updated while the headliner is original and free of any major rips
or holes.
Under the hood is the 389 cubic inch V8 engine sporting the iconic
""Tri-Power"" intake/carburetor set-up for a few extra ponies but
more importantly, it has the right look when you open the hood.
According to the engine suffix code ""78X"", this 389 was
originally built with the single 4-barrel intake system - but don't
fear, the original intake and 4-barrel carburetor are still with
the car! The engine suffix code ""78X"" also reveals that this
engine was factory rated at 325 horsepower and backed by a Muncie
4-speed (M20), wide ratio transmission that shifts smooth and
easy.
It is not everyday you find a black-on-black 1964 GTO coupe with
the desirable 389/4-speed combination for sale. Add in factory
options such as power steering and power brakes, this GTO is a
dream to drive whether going to a local show, or road trip across
the state.
