Some classics are so stunning that they leave you almost breathless. Such is the case with this 1964 Pontiac GTO. From its magnificent paint to the numbers-matching V8 under the hood, there seems to be nothing about this Pontiac deserving criticism. However, it needs to tick those boxes because the price is as breathtaking as its presentation. I must say a big thank you to Barn Finder Mitchell G. for spotting the GTO listed here on eBay in Plymouth, Michigan. Are you sitting down? Good, because the seller set their BIN at $139,900, with the option to make an offer.

If I could relive any era in automotive history, the 1960s would be a contender. That decade gave the world so much, from the Jaguar E-Type to the First Generation Buick Riviera and a range of iconic pony cars. However, it was also a time when muscle cars ruled the roost, and the undisputed daddy was the 1964 Pontiac GTO. John De Lorean aimed to position Pontiac as the performance arm of the General Motors empire, and this classic represented an excellent starting point. Its history is unclear, but the seller confirms that it recently underwent a no-expense-spared rotisserie restoration. The results justified the effort, because it is absolutely stunning. Its Starlight Black paint, verified by the Cowl Tag as the correct shade, is as smooth as glass. It reflects its surroundings like a mirror, while the panels are laser-straight. The underside shots reveal further perfection, with no evidence of rust or other problems. The sparkling trim provides a perfect contrast to the dark paint, while the Rally wheels and Redline tires add the ideal finishing touch.

What made the GTO special is what Pontiac bolted beneath the skin. This car features a 389ci V8, a four-speed Muncie manual transmission, a 10-bolt 3.23 Posi rear end, and power steering. With the company quoting power and torque figures of 325hp and 428 ft/lbs for the 3,500 lb GTO, it is easy to understand why so many people were impressed by the performance it delivered. The seller confirms that this classic is numbers-matching. While they don’t mention a mechanical refurbishment as part of the restoration, I would be surprised if the drivetrain didn’t receive plenty of TLC then. It is unclear how well the car runs and drives, but I can’t spot anything suggesting that this GTO is anything but a turnkey proposition.

I admit that this GTO’s interior has me scratching my head slightly. It initially appears as faultless as the exterior, but the dashpad on the driver’s side looks somewhat odd in a couple of the listing images. It may be a trick of the light, because there is nothing else warranting criticism. The Black vinyl is immaculate, there is no carpet wear, and the bright trim pieces prevent the interior from looking somber. Those living in warmer climates will welcome the air conditioning, because life inside this Pontiac could be stifling without it.

This 1964 Pontiac GTO is undeniably a stunning vehicle, and it may well be the best first-year example on the planet. However, it needs to be to justify the seller’s BIN figure. It is well above the market average, but it isn’t unprecedented. I don’t know how quickly it will find a new home, but I believe it will eventually. It will be fascinating to gauge your feedback on the price and whether you think the seller may need to compromise to achieve success.
