Vehicle Description
The Atlanta Showroom is offering this 1965 Pontiac GTO for sale.
The GTO was restyled for the 1965 model year. It sported Pontiac's
characteristic vertically stacked quad headlights. Overall weight
increased while the brake lining area increased nearly 15%. The
dashboard design was improved, and an optional rally gauge cluster
added a more legible tachometer and oil pressure gauge. The 389
engine had revised cylinder heads with re-cored intake passages,
improving breathing. Rated power increased to the Tri-Power was
rated 360hp. Transmission and axle ratio choices remained the same.
The restyled GTO had a new simulated hood scoop. A rare,
dealer-installed option was a metal under hood pan and gaskets that
allowed the scoop to be opened, transforming a cosmetic device into
a functional cold air intake. With two testers and equipment
aboard, they recorded 0-60 miles per hour in 5.8 seconds, the
standing quarter mile in 14.5 seconds with a trap speed of 100
miles per hour, and an observed top speed of 114. This GTO has the
389ci V-8 with the 4-speed manual. This goat sports a new top, new
tires, original rebuilt front end parts, new water pump, harmonic
balancer, and original service book. This is an owner stated
original GTO. Triple black GTO convertible...they don't get much
better. Options include: AM/FM radio, convertible top, power
steering, seat belts, vinyl interior, radial tires, rally wheels.
