Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Charlotte is proud to digitally present
this 1965 Pontiac GTO Convertible 5-speed!The factory Burgundy Red
paint and Black Convertible top (N2 Code) make a striking
combination with deep clearcoat shine. It looks terrific in the
sunlight, precisely what you want a convertible to do. You can also
tell there was an investment that went well beyond the paint to
ensure the body was completed correctly. The story on this one is
that a Pontiac dealership owner in Texas initially bought it, and
it stayed in the family until a few years ago. That's why you see
careful attention to detail in the restoration. The new-for-1965
vertical stack headlights shine like jewels; all the trim is neat;
correct GTO badging is on every side, big chrome bumpers shine like
mirrors, and the intricate tail panel is complete. The whole
package sits on a staggered set of polished Intro alloys.When you
open the hood, you can immediately see this motor was upgraded for
both power and flair. The clean engine bay showcases fabricated
Pontiac valve covers, a polished air topper, upgraded pulleys, an
electric fan, and fresh rubber components. This is a 400 cubic-inch
V8 that the consignor states has been bored and stroked to 467ci
total. Plus, it has all the right go-fast goodies like Edelbrock
heads, Edelbrock hi-rise intake, Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor,
and MSD ignition. Those long tube headers add even more power while
contributing to the throaty rumble of the dual exhaust. You have
complete control over this upgraded V8 and its thunderous
soundtrack thanks to the five-speed manual transmission that has
replaced the original automatic transmission (Code J). The
factory-optioned power steering and power brakes help keep this
stunning GTO easy to drive. This is a big power machine, so they
also give you the right tools to harness it. This includes a
four-wheel disc brakes upgrade, modern Goodyear Eagle GT tires,
power steering, and sway bars front & rear. Has PHS
documentation.You can tell this is a real Tiger, just by driving
it! Contact us today to get this beauty in your garage!
