Restored with a year one catalog, so it looks great at a local car show? Cost ya $50-60,000

or

Restored with hard to find original NOS parts to a level so that it can be judged at GTOAA concours by someone who knows original bolts, clips and component finishes? $100,000 restoration.

Either way I have never seen a 4bbl. '64 pull more than 40k on the market - real nice ones.

If you can get it, see if the engine is frozen. Go out in the garage and get it started, change the brake lines, the clutch, the fuel tank. Clean it up, involve your kids if you have any. Don't paint it - PATINA is cooler than nice paint these days. It's a rat muscle contender for sure. But no resto candidate. Trust me, you'll have more fun.

&quot;PATINA&quot; is cooler than nice paint these days? Really?? Some of these so called survivor cars that people seem to be in love with have not really survived much IMO. But, to each his own I guess. Unless that is an Arnie Beswick or maybe and old Knafel race car I would roll the windows down and put bails of hay in there to feed my cattle.

Jeez Sam it's a '64 GTO not a planter. Have some respect. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img]

Shame the person that &quot;did the planting&quot; didn't think that way Des! No respect on their part. We can make the &quot;planter&quot; into a &quot;feeder&quot; now!
