All 1964 GTOs used either standard 'no extra cost' dog dish caps or they could be optioned with a variety of full wheel covers. |

Thanks. Me has lots to learn about 64s, seeing as I'm about to buy one!

Start a thread with plenty of PHOTOS when you do. Great year and rarely seen anymore.

That beauty looks like it was originally born a LeMans. Note the nine chrome louver ornaments just in front of the rear tire, featured only on the LeMans trim level.
The GTO hood, grille emblem and '6.5 Litre' fender emblems were added later on. |

It's all good as long it's all upfront. Great looking car either way. Auto or stick? Hard to tell from the photo angle but it appears to be equipped with two 4bbls?

Wow, you guys are good. Yes, those are dual quads, but not there now. The 469 stroker (with Butler inners) is mated to a Muncie backed by 3.42's. All of which has been beefed up (lightweight flywheel, custom built tranny, HD axles, the list is long).
Freshly restored, this southern car was sprayed Viper blue. check out those original floorboards! I can't wait!

Wheels & caps
Champ, your '64 with the blackwalls, rings and poverty caps looks really, really nice. I think that setup makes that car pop! I've personally never taken a shine to redlines. Red is a strong color which makes the tires themselves pop but clashes with all the other colors around it (IMO). Again, really nice pic with the blackwalls - thanks for posting! Eric

Thanks for the compliment. I personally like the redlines better. Of course, my car is white and the wheels are black - which works very well with the redlines. I'm old enough to remember seeing these cars at the showroom (my Dad sold Pontiacs starting in 1963...) with redlines and to me none of the early year GTO's look right without them (even though my car was originally delivered with whitewalls). |

To me the redlines compliment most colors. In fact, I can't think of a color they don't look good with. It's only lately that the whitewalls have started to look nice to me also.

I'm with Greg 100%. Only in the past few years and in my old age, have I started to appreciate whitewalls on these cars. Redlines still my favorite, even though mine came with whitewalls and Custom wheel covers.
