BODYWORK/TRIM

Fresh out of a no-holds-barred reboot that wrapped up in May of 2014, his super cool A-Body is a perfect blend of good craftsmanship and great attention to detail. Originally sold in Westfield, assachusetts, he car was discovered by its current owner, '64 GTO purist, n Waycross, eorgia. After roughly 25 years of enjoyment, hat owner initiated a 2-year, otisserie restoration that fitted the coupe with a fresh pair of quarters and meticulously straightened its profile to better-than-new condition. Once that comprehensive metalwork transitioned from the garage bay to the paint booth, lassic '60s panels were re-sprayed in correct Starlight Black PPG. When that paint dried, correct vinyl roof capped a hearty layer of clear, hich had been buffed to a clean, lat shine. And today, fficially unleashed as the epitome of old school American style, his goat is one seriously cool head turner that grabs trophies just as easily as it drops jaws.

That intake rides between correct heads, hich hang hardened valve seats and attractive valve covers over a flat-tappet cam and GM NOS pistons. A familiar points distributor jolts spark through pliable plug wires. Cooling is provided by a heavy duty Harrison radiator, hich sends water around a correct fan via GM-branded hoses and traditional tower clamps.

And aesthetically, he impressive engine is fully detailed, rom its correct tags and vivid decals all the way to its yellow carb spring and appropriate grease marks.

The stout 389 sends power to a stalwart Muncie transmission, hich hangs a correct 3851325 casting number in front of a Muncie (P) assembled on February (02) 26th (26), 964 build stamp. That proven gearbox spins a tough GM 10-bolt, hich twists a posi-trac differential around big, .90 gears. At the sides of that rock-solid drivetrain, luminized, rue-dual exhaust pipes connect the aforementioned manifolds with tough turbo mufflers. At the sides of that booming soundtrack, rebuilt and tagged suspension is complete with factory power steering and power drum brakes. Muscle meets the pavement through 14-inch steelies, hich spin 205/75 BF Goodrich Silvertown Radial redlines around deluxe wheel covers. And absolutely everything, rom this Poncho's fresh stainless fuel tank to its clean Turquoise oil pan, s fully sorted and ready to be scored!
