welcome to wacky Wednesday's, where everyone has a chance to show off their
car mods, and here's this week's winner, hello I'm Dave Harris what you're
looking at is my 1964 Pontiac GTO, you know they expected only to sell 5000 of
these but wound up selling 32,450 GTOs, considered widely to be the first
true muscle car, when John DeLorean and the guys at Pontiac stuffed that large
engine into the midsize tempest body and called it the GTO option, I've had this
car ten years now, they made eighteen thousand four hundred
and twenty-two hardtops, seven thousand three hundred eighty four post coupes
which is what this is, and six thousand six hundred forty four
convertibles, 8,245 came with the factory tri power configuration that's what this
is, factory tri-power, factory four-speed car, listen to the 348
horsepower 428 pound feet of torque, done a lot of
things to it, had it restored back to its original Silvermist gray factory color
there,
taking a look at these wheels, got deluxe wheel discs, which was what the car was
born with but I got these later reconditioned redline radial tires, I use
to drive on other tires but prefer the radials, and there you have the
original 389 tripower engine, had it rebuilt have the Rochester carburetors
they're, essentially stock is what you see, original style battery, did switch
into a duel master brake cylinder
what I'll do is start it up, very bare-bones car manual, steering manual
brakes, no air conditioning, a midsize body but people look at it today and
think it's a big car,
you hear that exhaust now,
stock style exhausts
I've always enjoyed this car, and there you have it, the 1964 Pontiac GTO post coupe
