Custom 1964 Pontiac GTO
Every year, just before the Super Bowl, Barrett-Jackson puts on one of the biggest auto auctions in the country. It has been several years since I have attended, primarily due to the threat posed by the COVID pandemic. There were a dozen or more huge tents to protect the majority of the vehicles to be auctioned off. Unfortunately, it was cloudy which made photography a challenge (because of low light levels) and it was quite chilly which challenged me to be selective in the choice of cars to photograph. This custom 1964 Pontiac GTO is finished in Silvermist Gray and is powered by a non-matching-numbers rebuilt 389ci V8 engine with Pontiac Tri-Power, 4-wheel disc brakes, 5-speed manual transmission with Hurst Shifter, and dual exhaust. These features certainly earned the GTO recognition as one of the muscle cars of the mid-'60s. It has its original black interior with a Sunpro tachometer, push-button radio, locking glovebox, cabin heater, and defroster, 4-spoke Pontiac wood-trimmed steering wheel, and AutoMeter instruments for water temperature, oil pressure, and voltage mounted below the dashboard. This classic muscle car went for $42,900.
