Originally a trim upgrade that was based on the Tempest model, the 1964 Pontiac LeMans quickly lead to a signature muscle car, the 1964 GTO. The 1964 LeMans used different body trim and tail lights than the GTO had while the interiors were the same except for emblems. The 1964 GTO of course had the larger 389 V8 engine under a different styled hood which made it an American Muscle Car. The 1964 LeMans also had chrome louvres on the lower forward section of both quarter panels – A GTO does not have these louvres. If the 1964 body has or had louvres it was never a GTO. The 1964 LeMans optional 326 V8 was never really considered a muscle car engine for several reason however it was a very good, solid engine that had all of the reliability and engineering of the muscle car engine that Pontiac produced.
