Vehicle Description
Coming to The Raleigh Classic Auction from a prominent West Coast
collection, this 1965 GTO is a great example of Pontiac's early
muscle. It embodies the right characteristics for an enjoyable
investment car: limited production, excellent workmanship during
restoration and a strong potential to appreciate in value. Of the
75,352 GTOs built in 1965, only 11,311 (15%) were convertibles and
far fewer of those were ordered like this with the desirable
four-speed and Tri-Power intake. Top up or down, this is one sharp
looking GTO, with all the little things like glass, trim, emblems,
special Tiger Gold paint. The panel gaps are fantastic and the
paintwork matches the overall high level of detail. The fresh
interior and power top can only be described as first rate. The new
owner will enjoy power steering, power brakes and one of the nicest
passenger compartments we've seen. All of the chrome has been
highly detailed and the Rally wheels and tires are excellent. It's
clean and correct under the hood, sounds as good as it looks and is
an absolute blast to drive. The '65 GTO remains a landmark car that
combines fun, performance and great collectability. It will always
represent the genesis of the muscle car era. Today you can buy one
of the best, knowing that a great GTO is always a solid
investment.
