Garage Kept Motors is pleased to present this 1965 Pontiac GTO
convertible for sale. This is a fantastic looking and driving car
that will be sure to bring some pure Pontiac Excitement to your
life. As they say when the top goes down, the fun begins. With V8
power and four speed transmission there is sure to be miles of
smiles as you cruise in this final example of Pontiac's Great One.
This GTO was originally burgundy from the factory but recently
repainted a grey metallic shade that is well applied and has been
buffed to a rich luster. The bumpers have been re-chromed, and the
factory stainless trim and chrome is all present and treated to a
light restoration and polish and shines nicely. The trunk space is
very clean and has been detailed with factory style spatter paint
and features a new rear taillight harness. Inside the black
interior has been lightly reconditioned with new carpet, seat
upholstery and door panels. The seats upholstery is a subtle
redesign over the factory insert pattern and matches the theme of
the custom stitched front and rear door panels. A Grant three spoke
chrome wheel with wood rim sits on the factory tilt steering wheel.
The instrument panel features warning lights and the factory clock,
and a factory AM radio sits in the dash. The chrome console frames
the four speed shifter and shows some light wear and patina and
could benefit from a light restoration and detail. Under the hood
sits an era correct 389cid Pontiac V8, that has been upgraded with
an Edelbrock Performer 4bbl carburetor with electric choke. Further
upgrades include a heavy duty aluminum radiator with electric
cooling fans. Under the hood is nicely detailed and a set of chrome
valve cleaners and an open element air cleaner add some performance
detailing to this smooth-running motor. Power is transferred
through a 4-speed manual transmission back to the stock 10 bolt
differential. Underneath the car has been restored, with the frame
and floorboards cleaned and detailed. This car has manual steering
and the front steering components all have been replaced, and all
four shocks are new as well. The brakes have been upgraded to
four-wheel power assisted disc brakes, with all new brake lines and
emergency brake cables. A new gas tank has been installed with all
new fuel lines as well. The dual exhaust features an H-pipe and the
Flowmaster mufflers provide a performance sound out of the
tailpipes that exit out back through chrome tips. The combination
rolls on a set of factory Rally II wheels that have been repainted
with black inserts with hardened chrome lug nuts and 70's era
stainless center caps and chrome trim rings. The subtle color
change on the wheels provides a nice detail to the grey body paint.
The power hits the road via set of Cooper Cobra Radial GT high
performance tires. This GTO cruises nicely and is so much fun to
drive with V8 power and four speed transmission. Please call if
interested or e-mail with specific questions. Thanks for looking.
