Well it looks like the car IS going back home to Ohio...a fellow forum member just sent me a deposit on it and is planning to come pick it up in the next day or so!

That is one gorgeous 64 Goat Robbie. I love the color combo inside and out. You are gonna miss it. And I do hope we get to see it at the PY Open House car show one of these years.

Hey Robbie, I hate to see her go but I do appreciate you taking me for a ride in it the other week when I was there picking up another car.

I can guaranty the new owner is differently going to be impress with how well the car has survived and been preserved not to mention how good it drives. I even believe they might be surprised at how much power the car has with the power glide!!! I can tell you that I was not excepting it to kick down and move like it did.

Seems like in 64 Pontiac was a little ahead of the curve back then.

Congrats on the sale!

Ken

"....... I would think the Alamo Beige and Portugal Gold two tone paint is pretty rare."

I caught that after I posted it and it was too late to edit it....I can't believe it took somebody that long to point it out! LoL

I was getting ready to send my buddy your article by Email and I was about to list the colors when something didn't register true with the Portugal Gold name. I did a quick look at UltimateGTO and confirmed the color is Singapore Gold.

The car is absolutely gorgeous!

About these two-tone paint jobs. Back in the day, a home-town Pontiac dealership salesman special ordered himself a 64 GTO that was "pink" with a black painted top. The pink was not anything Pontiac offered. It was more like a "Mary Kay" color.

Thanks for all the feedback and compliments on the car. It left today headed north to its new owner...a fellow forum member and enthusiast that will appreciate and preserve it.

Like I said before cars like this have a way of ending up were they are supposed to be...it went out to CA for a while and did the Hollywood thing...then it came down to Tupelo and set beside Elvis's Caddy for a while and now it's headed back back home to OH. I feel very fortunate to say I was the caretaker of it for a while.
