Vehicle Description
Available now is a true piece of muscle car history-a beautifully
presented 1965 Pontiac GTO, featuring the legendary 389 Tri-Power
V8 paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, and finished in its
factory-correct Iris Mist exterior, one of the rarest and most
elegant colors Pontiac ever offered. This GTO embodies the essence
of the original muscle car formula: raw power, aggressive styling,
and refined touches that made it an icon of the era.
Under the hood, you'll find a strong 389-cubic inch V8, originally
delivered with a 4-barrel carburetor and intake, which have been
preserved and included with the car, though the engine has since
been upgraded to the highly desirable Tri-Power setup, consisting
of three 2-barrel Rochester carburetors feeding the big block for
maximum performance and throttle response. This setup was a
hallmark of Pontiac performance in the 1960s and provides not only
improved drivability but a dramatic under-hood presence. The engine
exhales through a dual exhaust system, delivering a throaty growl
that leaves no question about the power underfoot.
The 4-speed manual transmission shifts confidently and makes for a
truly engaging driving experience, enhanced by the addition of
power front disc brakes, a welcome upgrade over the original drums
that offers modern stopping performance with vintage character.
Rolling on brand-new Rallye wheels with polished trim rings and
period-correct red line tires, the car maintains an authentic
stance with an elevated level of detail.
The body is finished in factory-correct Iris Mist, a color that
stands out as one of the most elegant and rare hues Pontiac offered
in 1965. Complementing the paint is a sharp Cordova black vinyl top
that adds depth and contrast. While the car shows extremely well
overall, it does have minor cosmetic flaws, which can be seen in
the detailed photos provided. These small imperfections don't
detract from the car's impressive presentation but add to its
honest, well-preserved character.
Inside, the GTO is fitted with its factory parchment bucket seat
interior, offering a clean, refined look that contrasts beautifully
against the exterior. The car retains its original factory center
console, which adds style and functionality, while a hidden
AM/FM/CD stereo has been tastefully installed in the glove box,
providing modern audio capabilities without altering the dash. The
overall condition of the interior is excellent, showing light wear
consistent with careful use.
This 1965 GTO is also PHS documented, verifying its authenticity as
a real GTO and not a clone. It comes with paperwork that supports
its factory build and provenance, making it a solid
investment-grade example for any collector or enthusiast.
With its rare color combination, real Tri-Power V8, 4-speed manual
transmission, power front discs, and tasteful upgrades, this GTO is
a standout example of Pontiac's most famous muscle car. It's
equally suited for spirited weekend drives, local shows, or simply
being admired in your garage. Whether you're a long-time collector
or a first-time classic buyer, this 1965 GTO offers timeless
appeal, proven pedigree, and unforgettable performance.
