1964 Pontiac LeMans GTO Tribute
· I'm selling my beloved Pontiac. This is an EXTREMELY solid, 100% rust-free, very nice car that gets the attention from the most discerning of car enthusiasts at all the local shows and has won its share of trophies as well.
This car spent its first 50 years in North Carolina, and as such needed very little body work when it was restored a few years ago. The paint is a modern, Viper blue that is nearly flawless. The engine bay is meticulously detailed and perfect (ie, not a scratch on it). The interior is about perfect and was entirely new when restored a few years ago.
Mechanically, the car is fantastic. It runs perfectly, starts every time even after sitting for weeks during the off-season (in my climate controlled garage). The carb was built by Cliff Ruggles and I have his customized P4B intake as well.It runs super strong, never pings on pump gas and runs very cool.
Full details on the build and other info is below.
The entire car has recently been gone through by Pontiac builder/racer, Richie Hoffman before I took it to the track last year for the first and only time at the strip (where it ran flawlessly all day). I wanted it to be 100% safe. He upgraded the driveshaft to a custom unit with a Strange 1350 yoke, as well as put new front brakes, wheel bearings, and tended to every detail he saw. That's when I had the full 1/2" stainless steel fuel line and RobbMc pump and 1/2" pickup installed.
I have tons of pics that I can share upon request. I'm an honest, open book. The car is great for someone that wants to stand out from the crowd, cruise around or take it racing. It's light and fast.
I had it appraised when I first bought it, which was before I fully restored the engine compartment and did a lot of mechanical upgrades. It appraised then for $32,000 (I can share the appraisal with the buyer, along with years worth of receipts and hundreds of pictures documenting all restoration work.)

NOTE: It occurred to me that I should state the obvious: the actual mileage is unknown. In fact, the only two items not connected/working on the car are the odometer and the backup lights.
