The interior of a GTO could have been ordered with two different shades of blue in 1964. This is the lighter one called Aqua. Seat belts in the rear were an option back in 1964. The convertible top boot is the same color as the interior (this is correct), even though the top is white.CLICK-> 
There is a Tri-Power under the hood!CLICK-> 
Here is the data plate for this 1964 GTO. Let's decode it. The first line; 12B is the build date of month twelve and week 2.

Proper paperwork is important for a GTO. Check out this dealer invoice. It tells you everthing the car was delivered with. Check out the GTO option on the third line. It only cost an additional $295.50. This one even shows what the original owner traded in to get this fine machine. The customer traded in a 1957 Ford 2-door hardtop for what I think was $373.73.CLICK-> 
Leon Evans standing next to his white 1964 GTO hardtop. Leon tell us, "I purchased this GTO new. It has the original paint and interior. It was ordered with 325hp, 4bl, 4-speed, and 3.90 Posi. I tried to get the 4.10 Posi, but they would not factory install it. After a lot of back-and-forth with the factory they agreed to install 3.90 but had to install the fast ratio steering, special metallic brakes, heavy duty radiator. This may have been the one of the first ones with this option?"CLICK->

Check out the interior of Leon's 1964 GTO. There's a Hurst shifter with a shiny console.CLICK-> 
Leon removed and stored the original engine. He installed this a 69 406 ci built by KRE with 10:1 compression KRE aluminum heads. It dynoed with 87 octane at 447 hp at 5,600 rpm and 458 ft-lbs at 4,000 rpm.CLICK-> 
Another view of this 406ci engine. Leon tells us, "I ordered the GTO with dual 4bbls from a 421. They would not factory install but would ship them in the trunk. Arnie Beswick had bought the last they had in stock, so they were put on back order. They were left on back order for about a year then forgot it." |
