Blue 1964 GTO hardtop owned by Jess Townend from Arlington, Texas. Here's Jess's story, "While stationed at Carswell AFB in Ft. Worth, I bought the car from a fellow airman who couldn't afford to get the car repaired. He had taken it to the Pontiac house and was told it would cost over $500 to fix an upper valve train rattle. On my suggestion, he took the car to a local mechanic who offered to fix the car for $180. That was also too much and the car sat for several months. I offered to buy the car from him for what he still owed on it and he accepted. He still owed $785. Best buy I ever made. The car ran well until I decided to put it in storage because I couldn't afford (on a college budget) to pay 35 cents a gallon for premium gas in 1972! The car is still in storage." CLICK->

Steve Wimmer sent in these old pictures of his 1964 GTO. Steve commented, "This is a '64 Goat that I bought in 1983 or so. Unfortunately, at the time, I didn't know much about early GTO's. The car was rusty and some friends and I parted it out. It had an ugly add-on hood scoop with pop rivets sticking up. I recently got some of the parts out of my parent's attic. I still have the fenders, grille, passenger seat, back seat, dash (with some gauges), and a box of miscellaneous small parts. If any '64 owner needs them, I'll sell cheap. Everything is in fair to decent condition. E-mail capecabinets@msn.com" CLICK->
