Vehicle Description
This is a true dream car. After all, a 1965 Pontiac GTO that was
born with big tri-power 389 V8 and four-on-the-floor. But as you
dig deeper you're going to discover everything from a great story
to an A/C interior.
Reef Turquoise is a great color. After all, it gives this hardtop
all the appeal of a day at the beach. It was resprayed about three
years ago, and the extra metallic flake added to this
factory-correct color really gives this the sparkling appeal of a
deep blue ocean. But this one looks great for so many more reasons.
The new-for-1965 vertical stack headlights shine like jewels; the
bumpers are mirror-like; the correct GTO badging is all present;
and the intricate tail panel is complete. And you'll love the
polished Rally II wheel upgrade that includes red center caps and
bolts to go with the classic redline wheels. It's this level of
detail that tells you this has been treated with care and respect,
and we understand why. The consignor's father was the original
owner of this coupe.
The ocean-like appeal continues inside with the factory-correct
turquoise interior. There's more evidence of quality care and
maintenance the moment you lay eyes on the bucket seats. They are
crisp right down to the correct arrowhead emblem embossed into each
one. Matching door panels with correct GTO emblems and a bright
center console make this a true classic muscle car experience.
You're also going to love the mix of vintage features and correct
upgrades. For example, the AM radio is still cranking out tunes,
but you get to stay completely cool thanks to modern R134a air
conditioning. Your left hand will love the thin and grippy steering
wheel, and your right one will likely never leave the Hurst
shifter. Plus, the upgraded tach and auxiliary gauge trio go nicely
with the power package under the hood.
Pontiac's famous 389 cubic-inch V8 is a powerful legend that
doesn't need much introduction. But when you pop the hood at the
car shows, people will gravitate to what's on top of this V8 first.
This is the famous tri-power setup with the trio of Rochester
two-barrel carburetors. Plus, we have the dealer invoice to show
this was originally sold with this ultra-desirable option - even
the motor is believed to be original. The presentation is top-notch
with the correct decals, tidy setup, and a block that was painted
about five years ago - so you know you'll love showing off this
tri-power machine. There are also the right supporting components
like an Optima red top battery and newer cooling fan. There's even
power steering and front disc brakes. This proves to you this is a
classic meant for driving. So you'll also love the full control you
get from the four-speed manual transmission. This option package
was the most ideal setup you could have in 1965, and this one has
proven to be one of the few that were born that way.
Not only do you get the dealer invoice, but also other paperwork
like the original warranty card, title documentation, and build
receipts. This is your chance at a big power GTO that's been
treated like a family heirloom. Don't miss you chance, call
today!
