The first 389 in any midsize Poncho, other than Jim Wangers' work, was in
the B body, '64, Tempest with the GTO option. Dad had one. That year, they
even had the cheek to spell out the option, as in "Gran Tourismo
Ommolagato"  (sp?) on the price sticker. I read it.

The four barrel option came on the 230 cid OHC (belt drive) in-line six
banger (first in '65).
