This is a Nordic Blue 1964 GTO hardtop. It has a 389 Tri-Power and a 4-speed manual transmission. This pictures brings to mind a song from an old musical. The hills are alive with the sound of tiiiigers. CLICK->

Nordic Blue 1964 GTO hardtop, left side view. Look at that dropoff. They do live on a hill. Reminds me of when I picked up my '68 car in Alabama several years ago. The seller lady said she lived on the side of a mountain. Everyone who arrived at her house always complained that it was a steep drive to get there. She emphasizes to people "I live on the side of a MOUNTAIN!! Don't be surprised by the steep roads. I TOLD you I live on the side of a MOUNTAIN!!" CLICK->

Paul Sanders spotted this red 1964 GTO sport coupe at the Pure Stock Drags in Stanton, Michigan. The tires and wheels have been switched for some drag racing. CLICK->
This 1964 GTO hardtop is factory painted with special issue Anniversary Gold Paint. I do not believe this is the Special order "Hurst Gold" or later called "Tiger Gold" available on 1965 GTOs. There is a "Anniversary Gold" paint code 689 that was used on a special 1955 Chevy which marked the 50 millionth GM car built. Does anyone know anything more about this special order paint? CLICK->

The Manifest (build sheet) also shows teh Anniversary Gold paint. This time it has a code of 86790821 instead of the shorter 80921 from the data plate. CLICK->
Tim Thelen from Wichita, Kansas is restoring this red 1964 GTO hardtop. Tim tells us more, "I purchased this 1964 GTO with a 389 4-speed from a friend of mine on March 20th, 2007. I have been removing parts getting it ready for a full restoration. The color is red with a white interior but originally was Silvermist Gray with a black vinyl top and black interior. However, during the tear down process I have discovered that the engine comes from a 1964 GTO that was an automatic. The rest of the car seems to be all original. Hopefully with the engine being from another car, it will not de-value the car too much? Any tips that anyone has, I would be happy to hear from you." PICTURE SET CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE ...
