Tri-Power-Equipped 1964 Pontiac GTO Sports Coupe 4-Speed

Description

Introduced for the 1964 model year, the Pontiac GTO is widely regarded as one of the vehicles that helped establish the muscle car formula. Available as an option package on the Pontiac Tempest Custom, the GTO paired midsize dimensions with full-size V8 performance and competition-inspired equipment. Buyers could select either a four-barrel or Tri-Power-equipped 389 cubic-inch V8, and examples equipped with the Tri-Power induction system and four-speed manual transmission remain among the most desirable first-year GTOs.

This 1964 Pontiac GTO Sports Coupe is powered by a Tri-Power-equipped 389 cubic-inch V8 factory rated at 348 horsepower and paired with a Muncie M20 four-speed manual transmission. Finished in Nocturne Blue over an Aqua Blue vinyl interior, the car is equipped with power steering, a Rally gauge package with in-dash tachometer, a center console-mounted vacuum gauge, exhaust splitters, Soft Ray tinted windshield glass, Rally wheels, and BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires.

This 1964 Pontiac GTO Sports Coupe is now offered with factory literature, Pontiac Historic Services (PHS) and general historical documentation, two spare hub caps, spare tire with cover, and a clean South Carolina title in the name of the owner’s revocable trust.
