Currently listed for sale on AutoHunter is this 1964 Pontiac GTO convertible. This was the first year for the GTO package, which would soon morph into a proper model that held the sales record for the most popular muscle car of the era. Like all GTOs, it is powered by a 389 V-8, with this one equipped with Tri-Power backed by a four-speed manual transmission. Features include a power top, aftermarket air conditioning system, power steering, factory AM radio, and more. Painted Silvermist Gray with a black top over a red bucket-seat interior, this drop-top comes from the selling dealer with a photocopy of the original purchase order and a clear title.
The exterior flanks are painted in Silvermist Gray and sit under a black power convertible top. Other features include a driver-side chrome mirror, rocker panels, simulated hood scoops, and backup lamps. A set of 15-inch steel wheels with standard hubcaps is wrapped with 205/75 Diamond Back Classic Redline radials.
The cabin was originally furnished in black, but it currently features red upholstery, with bucket seats up front and a floor-mounted manual transmission shifter. Other interior features include an aftermarket air conditioning system, factory AM radio, power steering, and engine-turned instrument panel.
Instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer, 7,000-rpm tachometer, and fuel gauge. A set of aftermarket gauges showing the oil temperature and coolant temperature is mounted under the dashboard. The odometer indicates 1,662 miles though the title reads mileage-exempt.
The engine is a 389 Tri-Power, which was rated at 348 horsepower, though this was originally a four-barrel car. It is backed by a wide-ratio four-speed manual.
The undercarriage features power front disc brakes and, of course, a dual exhaust system.
The 1964 Pontiac GTO is the godfather of the muscle car era, a vehicle that changed how the market saw performance cars. In addition, it reflected a pivot from performance on the track to performance on the street. Forgive the pun, but the subject of our AutoHunter Spotlight is the GOAT, with this one being authentic thanks to the all-important “5N” on the data plate, though the PHS Automotive Services invoice proves even more. By the time you read this, there won’t be much time to place a bid, so check with your bank account and significant other (often the same thing) because the auction for this GTO will end on Friday, April 24, 2026, at 12:15 p.m. (PDT).
