Need help with 1964 GTO code numbers
 

Hello,
I'm looking at purchasing a 64 GTO Hardtop that has been sitting for about 3 years. It is in decent shape with no major body work required and only a small amount of rust on the right rear quarter panel. If purchased, I would consider doing a frame on or perhaps frame off restoration. I need a little help on some of the code on the firewall such as: Body PO16739, ACC 1E-5N-50 and TRIM 214. The car is a 3 carb car with a Hurst Shifter. The paint code is W which indicates that it should be Nocturne Blue but the car has been repainted a rust color or perhaps it was red when repainted. Also, any idea on what kind of price I should be paying considering that the mechanical components are all okay and no engine, transmission work would be required.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

Maybe I can help a little. The body number indicates that it was manufactured at the Pontiac plant. The number is purely a sequential number that indicates that it was the 16,739th that was produced at that facility. As a matter of interest, this is the nearest car that I have found to mine to date! My '64 'post is number 16,946. Since they are so close, I can reasonably accurately predict that your car was manufactured in mid May, 1964. The trim code,214, indicates a black interior. The 5N code indicates that it is a GTO. I do not know what the other codes translate to. You would be best to invest $35 into a PHS search which should tell you some more about your car, and confirm that it is what you believe it to be. I cannot advise on values as I live in England. Hopefully somebody over your side of the pond should be able to help you on that. Good luck, and let us know how you get on!

Pod.
