Marimba Red 1964 LeMans hardtop owned by Justin Lovich from Flagstaff, Arizona. He just got done washing it. Justin tells us more, "I am doing a slow resoration. Right now the car is nearly mechanically sound, so now I can worry about cosmetics (paint, new carpet, etc.) The car is a blast to drive, and everything runs smoothly. I plan on putting in a V8 (I now understnad why everyone wanted one, the 6-cylinder is rather lame). It's a really great car!"

A peek inside Justin's 1964 LeMans hardtop. It has the optional Custom Sport wooden steering wheel and a console-less floor shifted manual transmission. Is the brick for cruise control?

White 1964 GTO convertible now owned by Richard Yong. It was owned by Jerry Swenson when it was our Picture Of The Week for 10-05-08. Jerry commented, "We found it on eBay two years ago and did a complete frame-off restoration. We've restored a few cars over the years, including a '66 GTO hardtop that was the Picture Of The Week on 11/21/04. We love the restoration process and look forward to finding our next project."

Here is a shot during restoration. All the trim is starting to come off.
CLICK->
The body is removed from the frame. Notice how the braces are attached from the rear of the car to the firewall. Convertibles are pretty flimsy without their frames.
CLICK->
The frame has been detailed. Suspension and drivetrain installed. It even has the Hurst shifter and white shifter ball!
CLICK->
The body is put back on the frame. Along with the front fenders and hood.

Black 1964 GTO Sport Coupe creation owned by Paul from Miami, Florida. This is our Picture Of The Week for 11/2/08. Paul had it up for sale in June of 2008. Not sure if it still is.

Close-up shot of Paul's black 1964 GTO Sport Coupe creation. Instead of using a GTO hood, the previous owner installed a cowl hood and blended it with the lines of the car.
CLICK->
The engine looks nice too! Looks like they went for a chrome alternator and Edelbrock valve covers.

It's the end of the Pontiac line. On 4/27/09, General Motors made plans to delete Pontiac from their product lineup. The company killed the brand as part of their accelerated restructuring plan which is in cooperation with the U.S. Treasury Department. The Pontiac brand will be totally phased out by the end of 2010. How do you feel about this news? Leave your comments in the link below.
