The holes in the door jams are from dealer installed Ziebart rust protection. I am not sure if in 64 they left holes like that or put plastic plugs in them...I had a ultra low mile 75 45HO TA that had had it done and it had plastic Ziebart plastic plugs in the holes...I would probably think they didn't have them in 64 but I am not sure. This is what the Ziebart looks like under the car...    This is what the plugs on the 75 looked like...I have seen them in black too.

I believe the plugs are either black or a reddish/brown on mine. K

My '66 Lemans which was white was ziebarted when new. The plugs were white. It helped and didn't help. Areas that didn't have good coverage rusted like hell...

My brother looked at that car in the early 80,s. It was in Akron. Was going to buy it as his first car. He actually drove it.Ran good,even though the 3/2,s were blocked off.Really nice car,he just could not do the 2-speed thing.Looking back,should of bought it and put a 4 speed in it.Its one of the best 64,s I have seen to this date!

There's a few cars that I'd like to own but for one reason or another couldn't or didn't act on. For the time being I wait and watch to see what comes around. Thankfully I enjoy every year GTO, they all have great design elements unique to there time.

A four speed conversion would make the car a performer, but would destroy its uniqueness and wow factor. This car is so weirdly optioned with that column shift 2 speed that it pretty much has to stay that way, IMO. If I owned the car, I might swap in a 200R4 and bag the ST300, though. It would still look correct, but be drivable on the open road. It would be a shame to modify this survivor in any way, though, IMO. Too rare, too unique. Heck, it's almost as rare as a '64 Tempest or LeMans that hasn't been cloned into a GTO!

Second, to cut open a virgin floor and weld a bracket on the frame of an Original Rare 64 GTO like this would be a CRIME! This would also hinder the value now and in the future. When I first saw this car on ebay a couple years ago I mentioned putting the 2 spd. shifter on the floor with console, but even that idea would be wrong. HAPPY THANKSGIVING Everyone! Chris. |

Wow...I am glad your brother didn't get it and cut it up. The car still runs great and the 3/2s work great...I can't imagine why they were blocked off then. I would question if you were sure it was the same car but I am sure there's not another one out there like it so it probably was. |

I agree it would be a shame to cut a hole in the floor for a 4 speed. Also a shame it was ordered with a 2 speed column shifter.The car would be a blast to drive with a manual transmission,. At the end of the day its just a car.

I think the car is all but sold to a member on here...but if not I plan to list it next week. It's amazing the interest I have already received in the car and haven't even actually put it up for sale yet. |

Well I was expecting payment on the car tomorrow but some kind of "family situation" on the buyers end has caused him to back out so I will be listing the car in the classifieds and on eBay this week.
I do apologize to everyone that inquired about the car and I told them it was sold...But I took the buyer at his word and thought it was. |

I would love to own it myself as I'm partial to the Tri-Power with Automatics (77J = 693 Built), but it's not in my best interest at this time. |

In the mean time since I took advantage of owning it a little longer and we drove it to church this morning...we had the only beige & gold 64 Tri-power column shift auto GTO there!

97Ramsst, thank you very much for sharing your car with us during your brief custody of it. It's a special car, and is much appreciated by us on the forum. There are so many neat old cars that just sit in exile, locked away in dark garages for nobody to see or enjoy. Glad you drove it to church and snapped the photo...if it weren't for the 'new' cars in the background, it could very well be 1964. Thanks again for posting.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
