The ultimate 1965 GTO! Documented by Pontiac Historical Society as
being born a real tri-power, 4-speed in the most desirable
colors-red! A no expense spared, rotisserie restoration was
documented with 300 photos and a pile of receipts. It was stripped
down to a bare metal shell. Every single item was restored or
replaced. Many NOS parts were used. Only 872 miles since
restored.
EXTERIOR: The body was mounted on a rotisserie so it could easily
be worked on from every angle. It was stripped to bare metal and

fenders were painted inside too. This thing is lase beam straight.

of exterior trim has been replaced or restored. New correct
antenna. The jambs are just as slick as the outside. The hardware,
weather strips, window seals and sill plates have been replaced.

with pristine set of poverty hubcaps. The redline tires are custom

UNDERSIDE: The body was removed from the chassis then put on a
rotisserie. The body was flipped on it's side so the bottom could
be restored like new. It is all metal with no rust. It was sealed

This is an amazing GTO. To find a factory born red-red with
tri-power and 4-speed will be close to impossible. Then have it
rotisserie restored like this one you will have well over $100,000
invested. This is an exceptional car, investment grade!
