A FEW PICS of OUR 43K MILE 1964 TRI-POWER GTO
 
I took some pics of our 64 GTO yesterday and I thought I would post them here. The car is all #s matching and has 43K miles on it. It spent the vast majority of its life in CA. I was told its 85% original paint but I cant be sure of that...it looks like it very well could be. It was clear coated about 3 years ago and looks great I think. It runs and drives great. I would think the Alamo Beige and Portugal Gold two tone paint is pretty rare. I will be listing the car in the classifieds after the holidays but wanted to show it off a little bit first.

Factory tripower auto on the column beige/gold. What a SLEEPER! Great car, thanks for posting the pics and sharing it with us!!

Nice '64!! Something different.

Keith Seymore 11-20-2013 03:36 PM

I really like it.

I'm a sucker for those spinner hubcaps.

Built in Pontiac, Michigan - by the way. Thanks for posting all the build documentation.

It was on ebay once or twice a few years ago as I saved some pics of the engine bay showing the rare Vacuum Tri-Power unit.
It has been cleaned up nicely and is a very unique combination of colors and drive train!

COOL GTO! Thanks for sharing!

BTW
 
Pontiac Engine Log shows this 1964 77J to be very rare. Only 693 were produced.

Yeah that's the way it looked when I got it....I repainted and detailed the engine. I just couldn't stand it not looking as clean as the rest of the car. Maybe I ruined the patina as they say on Pawn Stars but it sure looks a heck of a lot better!

V E R Y C L E A N, Heads-up/seat belt buckles go on the inboard side of the seats

Andre 11-20-2013 09:40 PM

Those look like the Autokrat seat belts for 1964. I almost bought this car on ebay the last time around. I like the odd color combinations myself. I have never seen floor mats like that. So stock looking, yet they aren't.

Thanks...the buckles are on the inboard side of the seats. I believe they are original to the car (I would assume dealer installed)...they are marked AutoCrat but the tag is so old the date of MFG is not legible. They certainly aren't recent additions...

I put the floor mats in it to protect the original carpet...they are made by Legendary Auto Interiors.

Hey, cool!!

Such a beautiful car, avoid selling as you might miss it.

97ramsst 11-21-2013 10:31 AM

Thanks guys...the car was sold was sold on ebay about 3 years ago out of a Costa Mesa CA (it was part a Hollywood producers private collection for 23 years) then it went to Tupelo MS were it was displayed at the Tupelo Auto Museum for a couple years and then we bought it several months ago.

Awesome car and those colors are just excellent!

Great 64 GTO in a lot of respects including the research aspect!

Curious what the small holes would have been for on the inside door jams?

Also, any chance of posting a couple big clear pics of that rare automatic transmission kick down switch and bracket mounted at the left rear of center carb?

Thanks, Chris.
