Vehicle Description
1965 Pontiac GTO Convertible For Sale - Fully Documented By Pontiac
Historical Services LMC is pleased to offer for sale this 1965
Pontiac GTO Convertible. The first Pontiac GTO in '64 was an option
package for the Pontiac Tempest and was restyled for the 1965 model
year. Changes included adding 3.1 inches to the overall length
while retaining the same wheelbase and interior dimensions. It had
Pontiac's characteristic vertically stacked quad headlights on
either side of the black "egg-crate" grille with a new simulated
hood scoop. The dashboard design was changed and an optional rally
gauge cluster added a more legible tachometer and oil pressure
gauge. The 389 engines received revised cylinder heads with
re-cored intake passages and high-rise intake manifolds, improving
breathing. Rated power increased to 335 hp for the base four-barrel
engine. This GTO has the classic good looks of mid-60's muscle.
Raise this GTO's hood to reveal a clean Satin Black engine
compartment housing the unique Pontiac Turquoise 389 cu.in. Engine
with the correct 9778789 casting number and "YS" engine code. The
smooth running 389 with 4 bbl provides 335HP delivered with the
assistance of the factory optional automatic transmission. The
engine bay is very well done however the big surprise under the
hood is to see this convertible has Factory Air Conditioning for
your comfort during top up driving. There weren't many GTO
convertibles built that year and very rare to find one that was
ordered with the 389 engine, Automatic and AC combination. Other
conveniences are power steering and power brakes. Documented by the
Pontiac Historical Services paperwork that will be provided to the
cars next caretaker. Stunning in Starlight Black with subtle Red
pinstripes running straight and true along the top belt line which
highlight the car's super clean profile. The Black Convertible Top
has a very good tight fit and a nice clear rear window. Open the
door and you'll find the factory correct Parchment and Black
interior package that is both sporty yet classy in design. The firm
front bucket and rear bench seats feature bright chrome trim,
nicely pleated covers and era-correct factory optional front lap
belts with side retractors. In front of the driver, a Custom Sports
Steering Wheel spins a simulated wood rim with three steel spokes
around a Turquoise Pontiac-branded horn button. The engine's vitals
are displayed by round-faced dials set in the dash that has the
'striped chrome' inserts. The full console running between the
bucket seats has the same 'striped chrome'. In front of the
automatic shifter is the Pontiac-branded Manifold Vacuum Gauge.
Overall, a very appealing interior design. This GTO muscle car
features an ideal blend of performance, style and top down fun --
it'll be an absolute pleasure to drive and show. Start humming the
iconic song by Ronny and the Daytona's - "Little GTO" - you'll want
to put the top down and get on down the road. Additional Details:
