$400,000 custom build! Just when you think something can't get any
better, it's taken to the next level. This 65 GTO was driven as an
everyday commuter to college by its original owner who hung on to
it for 40+ years. It started with an artist's rendering and DWS
restorations built the car into a 2015 SEMA Car Crazy Showcase car.
Some of those cars are built just for show, on and off trailers.
This one functions and performs as awesome as it looks! Best of
everything: an Art Morison custom chassis, Strange independent rear
suspension, reworked Dart 540 aluminum engine, custom sculpted
leather interior and so much more. This car has been featured as
Meguiar's Car Crazy SEMA Showcase car, Goodguys, Gold Award
participant, 2015 Battle of the Builders feature car, and 2016
winner at Pro Builder Face-off Invitational.
EXTERIOR: Precision is the word used to describe the fit and
finish. Stunning body work with slick paint. This GTO was painted
in a one of one House of Color Candy Red. It's gorgeous! Everything
was replaced or restored to new. All new glass with anti-glare
windshield, Original Parts Group new trim, front grill, and
bumpers. Sitting on custom offset 18" front and 20" rear Budnik
wheels with Falken sport tires. They give this GTO a perfect
fitment without rubbing on the inner fenders. The power convertible
top is black cloth with a glass window done by Bill Dunn

good.

a matching custom boxed upholstery to make it look like a modern
trunk. Very nice leather and red stitched liner.
UNDERSIDE: Rotisserie body off frame restoration, completely custom
built with no corners cut. It's just as much of a show car
underneath as the rest of the car. This GTO is sitting on a custom

tubular independent suspension, and polished Strange independent
rear suspension. It's sitting on coil over shocks on all 4 corners,

independent rear differential is made up with 4.11 gears and
posi-traction. All new metal was professionally installed for the

SERVICE: Through our shop inspection we looked over this GTO
closely. The following things were added/repaired. Added heat
sleeving to the spark plug wires, repaired the front turn signal to
cancel properly, adjusted the driver window to function smoothly,
and repaired the window trim. Whoever the next fortunate owner is
will have one of the best pro touring muscle cars in existence!
Every single aspect of this GTO is overly impressive! It does it
all: the workmanship will impress even professional builders, the
performance will impress anybody with a driver's license, the looks
will impress anybody with a pulse! Seriously, this is a world class
build with only 1,400 miles. It would cost double to duplicate; you
will be waiting a couple years and you could only hope it will turn
out as great as this one.
A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am
offering is my professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen
are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your
questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a
walk around video that explains the car's condition in detail.
