Featured on AutoHunter, the online auction platform driven by ClassicCars.com, is this restored 1964 Pontiac GTO convertible. This first-year Goat comes equipped with bucket seats, center console, power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, and Cragar mags. Power is supplied by a 389 four-barrel paired with a Hurst-shifted four-speed manual transmission. Refinished in gold and equipped with a newer white convertible top over a white vinyl interior, this GTO is now offered by the selling dealer with receipts and a clear Colorado title.

The 1964 Pontiac GTO needs no introduction. It’s the performance car that represents the culmination of what was and was the impetus of what would be. The W62 GTO package included a standard 325-horsepower 389, floor-mounted three-speed, heavy-duty springs, shocks, and stabilizer bar, 14-inch wheels, bucket seats, simulated hood scoops, GTO badging, and more. A 348-horsepower Tri-Power 389 was optional, though the infamous Car and Driver magazine test car secretly had a 421.

Under prior ownership, this GTO went through a complete frame-off restoration and was repainted gold. It is fitted with a newer power-operated white retractable top. Additional exterior features include dual side mirrors, rocker moldings, a full-width taillight panel, and exhaust splitters.

Polished aluminum five-spoke Cragar wheels are wrapped in blackwall tires.

The cabin is fitted with Parchment vinyl bucket seats and rear bench with black components. Other interior features include center console with Hurst shifter, push-button AM radio, air conditioning, and lap belts.

Instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer and gauges for the fuel level and coolant temperature. An additional aftermarket coolant temperature gauge is installed below the dash. The five-digit mechanical odometer reads 66,572 miles, which the seller believes to be true.

The 389 four-barrel transfers power to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission.

Handling is assisted by power steering and power brakes. Additional photos showing the underside are available in the image carousel on the auction page.

The data plate looks a bit different than most Pontiacs of this vintage. If you’re an online sleuth, will you find something special about this vehicle? Get going, gumshoe!
