If you're looking for an impressive classic that'll roll straight out of the showroom and right onto the red carpet, here's your chance to grab a tiger by the tail!
The beneficiary of a professional, frame-off restoration, this super cool GTO is a perfect blend of expert craftsmanship and fine attention to detail. With a solid body present and accounted for, the car was carefully straightened and sanded into better-than-new condition. Once that comprehensive metal work transitioned from the garage bay to the paint booth, the classic 60s panels were re-sprayed in their correct GM code E Nightwatch Blue. When that paint dried, it was sealed in clear and buffed to a clean, flat shine. And today, officially unleashed as the epitome of old school American style, this goat is one seriously cool head turner that'll drop jaws just as easily as it'll win trophies.
Raise this Pontiac's long steel hood and the first thing you'll notice is a raucous 389 that's been completely rebuilt and layered in attractive blue paint. Less obvious of course, is that stalwart V8's correct 9778789 casting number, November (K) 8th (8) of 1964 (4) casting date and 2-speed-exclusive "YS" assembly stamp. Dubbed 'Pontiac's Trophy 389' because of its domination in motorsports, this legendary block, which is good for 10.75 to 1 compression, 335 horsepower and 431 lb./ft. of torque, is one of the first production engines to feature purpose-built performance hardware. Its big 4-barrel carburetor feeds a correct high output intake, which is bolted between pristine chrome valve covers. Fires are lit by a familiar points distributor, which jolts spark through fresh AC Delco 7mm Premium Wires. Cooling is provided by a correct radiator, which sends water around a correct fan shroud via pliable hoses and traditional tower clamps. And charred dinosaurs are funneled through a nice pair of restored exhaust manifolds.
That stout 389 sends power to a stalwart TempesTorque transmission, which wears a correct "65 NA" assembly tag. That proven Hydramatic spins a tough GM 10-bolt that's stuffed with gravel busting gears. At the sides of that rock-solid drivetrain, a professionally restored suspension is complete with factory-optioned power steering, modern air shocks and heavy duty power drum brakes. And the muscle meets the pavement through 17-inch American Racing Torq Thrust IIs which spin 215/55 Mastercraft Touring LSRs in front of 235/55 Mastercraft Touring LSRs.
Open this coupe's freshly finished doors and you'll find a fully restored, and correct, GM code 217-33 Blue vinyl interior that's simple yet sporty. Front and center is firm bucket and bench seats which feature bright chrome trim, cool pleated covers and era-correct lap belts. The engine's vitals are displayed by a rebuilt gauge cluster which integrates round-faced dials and a modern Custom Autosound stereo into a veneer-trimmed dash that's reminiscent of European sports cars. And in front of the driver, a chrome-trimmed steering wheel spins a classy horn ring around a Turquoise, Pontiac-branded horn button.
If you've been patiently waiting for the opportunity to pick up an excellent example of the ORIGINAL muscle car, here's your chance. Call, click or visit RKMotorsCharlot... for more information on this awesome GTO!
