HISTORY/RESTORATION
This heavy documented GTO was bought brand new in Detroit MI on Dec 29th 1964. It has its original 389/360H.P. "Tri-Power" V8 and was loaded with factory options. The rarest was a bench seat with column automatic trans (the owner probably wanted a sleeper high performance car that was easy to drive).
During restoration, the bench seats were replaced with buckets, the black vinyl top was left off and new Rally I wheels and rear seatbelts were added. Aside from these 4 changes, this GTO is the way it came out of the factory.
Very rare car with rare options makes this a car to collect.
