Feel free to ask me any questions about the car : buddemeyer85@zoho.com .1964 Pontiac GTO Unrestored Tripower
True Survivor Time Capsule
8000 Orignal Miles
As an avid car collector, I, along with many others in the hobby, feel that no muscle car collection is complete
without at least one example of the 1964 GTO which is considered to be the first muscle car built.
In November of 2010, I received a phone call from noted Pontiac historian, Jim Mattison. Jim was well aware of my
passion for unrestored cars and had just been contacted by the family of a gentleman who had ordered a new Pontiac,
delivered May 19, 1964, from Community Motors, in Chicago. The family was interested in selling and wanted it to go
to a good home where it would be well cared for. Jim had described the car to me as an 8,000 mile unrestored and
original time capsule 1964 Tri-power GTO. I immediately called the guys at Tri-power Automotive, in
Libertyville, Illinois, Pontiac specialists, and asked them to go take a look at the car for me.
With their first look at the car, their impression was that the car had been restored or at the very least
re-painted. They first opened up the trunk and saw a reproduction trunk mat. While they felt that this was evidence
of a restoration, they lifted the mat to find, to their amazement, that the reproduction was there to protect the
beautiful, original, trunk mat that lay beneath it. They then took out the spare tire to find that it was the
original spare from 1964 and had never been on the ground.
Now, they began to really look at the car even more closely and soon realized that this truly was the “time
capsule” they had come to see. The paint is 100% original and in nearly the same condition as when it rolled off
the line in 1964. The interior is 100% original and still retains that “new car smell.”The complete drive
train is born with #'S MATCHING 100% ORIGINAL!!!!
This would undoubtedly have to be one of the highest optioned 1964 GTO's ever built.
Per the PHS, the 20+ options include:
Push Button Radio
Verba-Phonic Speaker
Console
Wood-grain Style Custom Sports Steering Wheel
Windshield Washer and Dual Wiper Speed
Instrument Panel Pad
Tachometer
Optional Tri-Power 389 4-speed
H. D. Radiator
Optional and very rare breakerless transistor ignition
Ride & Handling Package
Metallic Brakes
Saf-T Track Differential
M21 Close Ratio with 3.90 Axle
I have owned over 50 unrestored cars over the years and this is by far the most original untouched car that I have
ever owned or even seen. Steve Shauger’s team of "Vintage Judges" confirmed my thoughts, when this car was
awarded 2724.49 points out of the possible 2784 points possible, in November of 2013 at the MCACN event, and given
their highest “Award of Legend.”

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
