They do no matter how careful you are . I put the back in first then push down the front just don't let anyone help you . A couple times when we were out and it started to rain even a couple GTO guys just pulled up on the boot . and it scratched my trim. When you take it off lift the front edge then take it off the back . the problem is every where the clips touch it does wear on the front and rear edge. I've tried rubber dip ,taping the clip, taping the trim and so on eventually it scratches. I've re done mine a couple times. I'm to the point my car is what it is ,a driver I'll drive it until I can't drive any more.
I don't like to drive mine with out the boot but you have to live with the results but my top is down 99% of the time anyway even when it goes to a show. rag tops were made to have their tops down imo that's the only way they look good.

E Bay claiming to be an original Tri Power 4 speed

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ponti...m=140680728068

http://smokymountaintraders.com/prog...9641355165_445

I called and did talk to at S M T . He said he had the PHS and the Tri Power option was checked. I asked if he would forward copies to me and told him about this post and our quest to find as many of these original cars as we could . I have not received any thing yet and probably won't but hoping we will . The car was built in Pontiac per the vin code.over all the car doesn't look to bad but close inspection of the motor compartment shows the wiring harnesses most likely will need to replaced. underneath they have some fancy brake line redesign and some dampening weights on the rear most likely because the drive shaft is reversed. there are some other things that will show up I'm sure but as I said the over all pictures look good . asking price 50 K

Looks like this is just for convertibles. Let me know if I missed a similar registry for coupes.

I don't know of one .
Not many 64 convertibles so far that were born with factory Tri Powers and 4 speeds have show up.The PHS for the car has to show it came from the factory. There are a lot of up graded ones out there but not many factory ones .

Default top boot velcro

My top boot from Legendary has velcro on the front edge. I have the metal strip on the back seat but not the piece that fits in it to attach to the boot. Who sells this piece?

thanks

I have a friend who told me today that he took parts off of a 64 GTO Tri-Power 4-speed Convertible years ago but wrote down the Vin Number. If I get the Vin number, I will try to see if we can get a copy of the PHS now that the car is crushed and add the info to the Registry.

Yesterday I laid eyes on a 64 GTO Convert. 76X code 3x2's 4-speed with factory air.
A car collector has it. It was sitting in the corner, nose against the wall like it was a stepchild. It looks like it needs a total resto. The owner is in Arizona looking to buy more cars. I'm guessing this car could be bought?? But I haven't won the lottery yet.

my 10yo daughter has already made claims to my '64 (i.e. as in when i pass on!). She is the only one that takes an interest and helps out... so, guess it's hers. she's even picked up on how rare and historic these cars are, without too much coaching;-)

They are going to be 50yo next year. wow!

i sure hope our next generations take care of our rides...
