********** This item was listed last week and missed the reserve price by a very small margin. Relisted here with a LOWER RESERVE! ********* Just in time for Christmas - the perfect sleigh for Santa!You are looking at my pride and joy, a 1964 Pontiac GTO clone with a power top, 4-Speed manual transmission and a Tri-Power. Everything you need without the worry that goes with a numbers matching GTO. I've driven this car to work and left it in the parking lot with no worries - something I would not do with an all original GTO!The previous owner told me that this amazing car started life as a California 6 cylinder LeMans and at some point a donor GTO was used to supply this car with a GTO drivetrain and body parts. The car is made up of original OEM GTO parts, and few reproductions. The person I bought it from told me when the restoration was done (in the 1980s I believe) aftermarket reproductions were not available so he went with OEM. The hood is an original metal hood from a 1964 GTO that alone sells for THOUSANDS of dollars alone.Highlights Include:- 389 V8 Engine- Tri-Power Carbs (Rebuilt in October by California Carburetor)- Muncie 4 Speed Manual Transmission- Power Convertible Top- Power Steering- Power Brakes with Upgraded Aftermarket Front Discs- Fresh Front End Rebuild with Powder Coated A-Arms and Parts- Custom Made Wide 15" Steel Wheels from Stockton Wheel- New Tires with Under 300 miles- New Gas Tank- New AM/FM/USB Radio- New Convertible Top Hydraulic Cylinders and Hoses- New Starter- New Radiator - All New Exhaust SystemENGINE / TRANSMISSION: I haven't had any engine or tranny work done but both seem good. No oil burning or noises. The exhaust runs all the way to the back and is brand new with a great exhaust note.CONVERTIBLE TOP: The top is in good condition. The rear window is a bit foggy but not bad. At highway speeds the vinyl slaps around a bit and I think it could use being tacked down somewhere. As you can see in the pictures, no holes, rips or other problems with the vinyl. The top is not new, but is in good condition. Hydraulic top has new hoses and cylinders as of a few weeks ago. I don't think it ever had a boot.COLOR: The original color (V-2) was Grenadier Red with a Black top.PAINT / RUST: The trunk lid has bubbling due to that car cover issue and that bit of rust. My plan was to repaint everything from the quarter panels back to clean it all up. Doors forward the paint looks much better. The car appears to have no rust aside from the cosmetic bits at the trunk lid. I have been under the car and I haven't seen any at all including when I swapped out the gas tank. Of course there could be something hidden but I really doubt it. From what I gathered from the pervious owner, The damage to the trunk lid (bubbles and the rust spot) are doe to a car cover holding in moisture. I'm not an expert and I'd welcome an inspector to come out if you have one to make sure. The red paint is rough in the trunk lid area and there is a spot of rust at the top corner of the trunk lid. From a distance the paint looks OK but up close you can see it is in need of a repaint to be a show car. ELECTRICAL: The electrical works but there are some quirks so I added aftermarket gauges to be sure the "idiot lights" were working. Headlights work, radio works, engine electrical works, convertible top motor works. HEATER: The heater is not working and I haven't dug in to see why. I do know that the control rods under the dash are missing. I live in Southern California so I haven't needed it.WEATHERSTRIP: The weatherstrip is in poor shape. That was on the list to replace.REGISTRATION: Tags are current and the title is in my name. I drive the car to work pretty regularly so all is cool there.I took some close up pictures of the ID numbers and the trunk lid. If you want to see the pics, just shoot me a message and I'll get them to you. This item was listed last week and missed the reserve price by a very small margin.
