Gateway Classic Cars San Antonio Austin is excited to offer this
1965 Pontiac GTO Tempest, finished in a red exterior with a black
interior. Power is provided by a 389 CID V8 engine paired with a
Holley carburetor and a 700R4 automatic transmission, reflecting
the performance identity that helped define the GTO name. The
Pontiac Tempest served as the midsize foundation for the GTO, which
originated as a performance option package before becoming its own
model. The 1965 model year represents an important period in
Pontiac history, as the GTO played a key role in shaping the
American muscle car segment. The GTO stood out from the regular
Tempest with heavy-duty suspension for improved handling, quad
stacked headlights, a hood scoop, GTO badging, and sporty trim.
Inside, bucket seats, a center console, and sporty gauges
contributed to a driver-focused, performance-oriented experience.
This vehicle is accompanied by a PHS and an Owners Guide, adding
additional pieces of period-related documentation. This GTO Tempest
is equipped with air conditioning, an AM FM radio, power steering,
and power brakes. The car rides on BFGoodrich Radial T A tires and
also includes seatbelts, a spare tire, and a jack. Bosch gauges for
voltage, temperature, and oil pressure are installed, providing the
driver with precise monitoring of key engine functions. Overall,
this 1965 Pontiac GTO Tempest reflects the heritage and design
philosophy that established the GTO as one of Pontiac's most
recognized performance models, presented with a clear and
comprehensive feature set that highlights both style and
functionality.
