Of course, the big Pontiac news in '64 was the GTO !

The age of the Musclecar had arrived. And, just as you'd expect, independent racers & Pontiac dealers took 'em to the drag strips.

Posting a pic of the Gay Pontiac cars & hauler. They ran lots of Pontiacs, thru the years. This pic shows 3 cars: #655 '62 A/S 421SD Cat, which Don drove, #656 A/MP '63 Tempest wagon, & #657 B/S '64 GTO, which Roy drove. Don't how the GTO ran. Anybody know ?

Here's the link to a site I found which shows pics of a model of the Gay B/S '64 GTO. Also has a small write-up about the cars.

Don't really know how most '64 GTO's did at most local tracks. Can't find evidence that they did much on the national stage. Most I see pics of ran B/S. Don't think they could have been real competitive in that class, on a big stage.

But, I don't know. So, if some of you guys know of some '64 GTO's that did really well in Stock or SS, please post that info, & pics, if possible.

I also found pics of two '64 big Pontiac record holders. It has been pointed out that the Alaskan did NOT have a 421 engine, even tho the caption says it did. That's easy to believe, since it is marked in J/S, in the pic I have. But, I'm not familiar with the car, at all.
