The New Port Richey, Florida resident has spent 39 years on the racetrack--20 in an NHRA stock class and always with a Pontiac. This Goat is an exact clone of the '64 GTO that he bought in November 1963. His folks weren't crazy about the more intense induction options, so his Goat was built with a single 4-barrel. Naturally, dual AFBs and headers were the first mods to his first GTO. Other Pontiacs that have graced his garage have been a '62 Catalina, a '64 LeMans, a '69 Custom S with a 350 HO and a 4-speed, and a '72 LeMans. | Strip Specs | | Year/Model | 1964 GTO | | Race Weight | 3,520 lbs. | | Curb Weight | 3,310 lbs. | | Fuel Level | 1/2 tank | | Engine | 1965 WS-code 389, bored to 400 cubic inches | | Built by | Owner | | Induction | 2 750-cfm AFBs, #110 primary, #92 secondary jets | | Intake manifold | Unported Offenhauser 2x4 | | Heads | Unported 1969 #62, 2.11/1.77-inch stock valves | | Pistons | Forged TRW | | Rods | Stock | | Compression ratio | 10.25:1 | | Crankshaft | Stock cast 1975, balanced | | Camshaft | General Kinetics solid flat tappet, 253o/262o at .050, .553/.579 lift | | Ignition | MSD electronic distributor, MSD coil, Crane HI-6 box | | Total timing | 36o at 2400 | | Exhaust | 1.875-inch Hooker headers, no exhaust | | Transmission | Super T10 4-speed | | Clutch | Ram Competition 5-paddle | | Shifter | Hurst | | Rear type/ratio | GM 12-bolt, Moser 33-spline axles, Moser spool, 4.88 gears | | Brakes, F/R | Drum/drum | | Wheels | Weld, 15x3.5 front, 15x8 rear | | Tires, F/R | Mickey Thompson, 15X4.5x27 front,
