Vehicle Description
This 1965 Pontiac Lemans GTO has a big 455 V8 with Tri-Power and
four-on-the-floor. Oh yeah, you know you're already going to love
it even before you check out the cool color combo and vintage style
of this enhanced muscle car hardtop.
We have the PHS documentation that shows this was born with the GTO
option. So it has the pedigree to go with its presence. After all,
we love the granddaddy of all muscle machines with its stacked
headlights, hood scoop, hardtop profile, full GTO badging, and
artful taillight arrangements. This one traded in its factory light
blue for something closer to Pontiac's deeper/darker shades that
looks great on a powerful coupe. It not only has a good gloss, but
also it makes for a better contrast to have the bumpers, bezels,
rockers, and other brightwork stand out a little more. And a nice
set of polished American Racing Torq Thrust wheels add to both the
sporty feeling and classic chrome style.
The light blue inside against the dark blue exterior gives this
muscle car a sophisticated color combo. The interior was an update
later in life, but it was done with a careful eye. The result is
the classic premium Pontiac arrowhead pattern on the seatbacks, but
upholstery that feels far fresher than 1965. And a well-done look
on the door panels, headliner, and darker carpeting add to the
quality impression. There's plenty of the right classic pieces that
are still there for display, including the AM radio. But more than
just vintage, this one also remembers how to be a great driver's
machine. That's why you have bucket seats, a center console
in-between, an upgraded sports steering wheel, and a Hurst floor
shifter.
The engine bay has a tidy style that makes it easy to put on
display. And you're going to want to showcase this one, because
every Pontiac fan knows the meaning of three air grabbers in a row.
And not only do you have a triple set of dual barrel carbs for the
ultra-desirable Tri-Power, but also beneath it is another Pontiac
legend. This GTO now has a larger 455 cubic-inch V8. It's a big
power package, and it has been installed with care. They even added
an aluminum radiator to help keep it running cool. The full control
of the four-speed manual transmission really makes this fun out on
the road. Add in power steering, power brakes, and front discs, and
this powerful GTO is a fine all-around classic.
The sale comes complete with the important Pontiac Historic
Services (PHS) paperwork. It's a distinct big power GTO that knows
how to leave a lasting impression. So don't let it slip away, call
today!
