Love GTOs and the '64 is my favorite body style.
For all you GTO aficionados, my (almost) ‘64 Convertible

I'm glad you repainted the engine Pontiac Blue.
A little trivia on the Pontiac V-8.
It was first introduced in 1955 as a 287 cubic inch engine (I had one).
Over the ensuing years it "grew" to 326, 350, 389, 400, 421, and finally, 455.
All with the same "large block" (although smallish for a typical "large block").
287 to 455!!
Seems like the engineers built a little "expandability" into their design.

That's a good story, one in a million chance for that GTO to survive Hawaii.
I only ever managed a 65 Bonneville with a 421. It was a land yacht and a road hog, but it was powerful.

That is a beautiful old muscle car.
