Hey everyone! I'm Paul and I just recently bought a 1964 Pontiac Star Chief. This is my very first American car, and I'm very excited to bring her back to her 1960s glory! She has 95% of her original parts. And has a straight body with minor dents and surface rust. I'm looking forward to digging through forums and the community to help get this beautiful car back on the road!

Welcome Beer King.

I commend you on your choice of American car brands.

Did you acquire the Star Chief in the states - Utah? Lots of Pontiac resources ready to help here.

I’m sure everyone would like to see your car, please post pictures.

I got the car from Southern Arizona. It was a fun drive to get it!

Thank you! It's all original and has about 95% of its parts to boot!

I’m curious how you found such a gem and almost complete

I was just scrolling through craigslist and happened to find this car...never heard of a Star Chief before. I kept looking at other cars, but this one just grabbed my attention for some reason. So i talked it over with the misses and she supported me getting it!

Nice.
The Star Chief and Bonneville were the long wheel base B bodies. They also had the 4 speed hydramatic trans while the Catalina/Grand Prix/Ventura were short wheelbase and had the three speed Roto-Hydramatic.

Wish I never sold my 64 Catalina 2 door Hardtop.

I really like the body lines and the size of the Star Chief! And I've heard from a passerby that these cars do pack a sizable punch when you romp on it!

I would like to thank everyone for their warm welcome and helpful spirits! I was honestly hesitant to get any assistance with my car due to the fact this is a GTO forum and I have nothing of the sort...and I have past experience with forums shunning non-model specific car members.Y'all are amazing and I hope to repay this love and generosity to others!
