1964 Pontiac GTO Brought Back From The Dead | RIDICULOUS RIDES

A RARE single-owner original Pontiac GTO from 1964, one of the first ever muscle cars, was left to rust in a garage for over 30 years before undergoing a radical transformation that miraculously brought it back from the dead. After developing engine trouble, it ended up gathering dust in the owner’s garage. The same owner, 30 years later, finally decided to restore the rare muscle car. CW restorations worked on the GTO for three years - company owner Chris Winston told Ridiculous Rides: “It’s probably the worst rustic car I’ve ever worked on."

BRAVO! Magnificent restoration! Especially pleased to see the outside mirror mounted WHERE IT BELONGS! That color & interior knocks my socks off! Luv' the NO console too! John DeLorean, Jim Wangers, & Russ Gee are smilin' down @ it right now! The Hurst mags are the final coup de grâce!....especially w/that color!

Finally a man on the right page listening to his comments regarding new cars today looking pretty much the same, so true and what a classic it is that GTO.

I own a 64, that my dad bought new, and I’m still slowly restoring it. This man did it right. Excellent job. I wish there were more videos on this car. Thanks.

That's incredible. I have my deceased mother's 77 Firebird Skybird. It's been garaged it's entire life but doesn't run all original cosmetically almost perfect the mechanical needs help the V8 is all there

Super job on a piece of Pontiac history. Wasn't a fan of drop tops, or gold paint, but this car is the exception. Has all the right parts, and up-grades. Also totally agree about boring transportation of today. Most cars are painted black, white, or grey. No pizzazz at all. Thanks for posting.

3:08 Those words are never truer my friend. I 100% agree and it is sad that it's the truth. Cause you got the EV's, Crossovers, Hybrids like why they all look the same and like he said they don't have character at all.

I'm curious!! What did you charge him to restore this car?? It's nice to be able to afford such a project!! 3:28

Great car but jeez that guy has one of the most bizarre accents I ever heard?

My boss has a whole bunch of GTO's, some are totally finished, and lots that need restoring. He is having a problem finding shops that will take his cars. If you are interested, reply back to me. They must be done correct. I can't think of them all, but here is some that are in line for restoration....65 convert tri-power 4 speed, 69 Judge 4 speed, 1972 HO 455 4 speed, 1967 HO Auto, 1970 GTO 4 speed, 1970 GTO convertible....not sure if its auto or 4 speed, 1972 GTO HO 455 Auto, 1964 tri-power 4 speed. There are others, but the above are the ones he wants done soon. 2 days ago he got back his black 70 Judge from the shop, they had it for about 2 years....man thats a knockout...another shop is doing his 65 GTO, thats about half way done, he just took a 71 Judge to a place in South Carolina last week...that one will take a year or so to get done...that ones dark green, black interior, 4 speed, 1 of 357!
