From the Pontiac Zone Office: Mine and possibly Terry Hunt's set-up but I do not know know if it was actually delivered to a Dealer, like my was (A 'Brass Hat' Vehicle).

Also mine was built with Documented serial # Parts (supplied by the Rochester carb people) directly to the Brass Hat vehicle.

So I totally agree with Dick on this one. NO production line 64 GTOs (with Mechanical Linkage) EVER went down that line.
