INTRODUCTION: One of the prettiest GTO's we've ever offered for
sale! Extremely rare factory color combination with the turquoise
interior that elevates this classic to the next level. It received
a detailed 2 year frame off restoration to factory specs and was
completed in 2024. Pontiac Historical documented and it has the
original Protect-O-Plate with matching unit # on the block too.
Invest in this classic! It'd be one of the smartest and most fun
things you ever did...
EXTERIOR: Outstanding, much better than new! California built car,
it lived on the west coast until 2024. The body was glass bead
blasted to bare and is solid metal that's straight as an arrow. All
the panels have wonderful alignment with nice consistent gaps that
are right on the money. The doors open and close easily like a new
car. Repainted in its beautiful and original Reef Turquoise without
a vinyl top, it's a real show stopper. Staring at this car is
literally like looking into a turquoise mirror. The bumpers have a
glorious shine with fresh chrome and the remaining brightwork has
been polished to perfection. All the glass is nice and clear. I
love the subtlety of the rear tail lights and the stacked
headlights. It's also equipped with optional reverse lights and a
remote side mirror. She's rolling on a stylish set of Rally 1
Wheels wrapped in reproduction Gold line tires that were only
available in 1965 and 1966. They greatly compliment the overall
aesthetic and nostalgia.
INTERIOR: Inside the door jambs are as slick as the exterior. The
weatherstrips and sill plates were also replaced. The Turquoise
Morrokide interior adds to this car's unique appeal, that's a color
you really don't see often. We were told the upholstery is
original! I do know that the door panels and armrests have been
replaced and everything else is in remarkable overall condition.
The seats don't have any rips or tears. The gauge bezel has really
nice wood trim, all the gauges are in wonderful shape, and very
easy to read too. It has a working clock, original heater controls
and radio. The dash has been beautifully repainted the correct way
with a satin finish on the top for glare reduction and a glossy
finish on the bottom for more appeal. The kick panels are in
excellent condition and the turquoise carpet looks fresh. The
deluxe steering wheel looks to be a brand new reproduction. The
center console was nicely refurbished and the Hurst 4-speed shifter
puts the driver in command of the power.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This is the original, #s matching motor as
indicated by the protect-o-plate and it has the unit # on the
block. If you have a 1965 GTO it has to have the tri-power! This
one has a completely restored set and gives a spine-tingling
induction sound that no single four barrel can match! The entire
compartment is highly detailed to factory new. It has reproduction
hoses, spring clamp battery cables, foam air filters, suspension
dust shields, washer fluid bottle etc. All the surfaces are prepped
and painted meticulously. Everything is spotless! What a proper
engine bay!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Like brand new! Under the trunk lid and inside
the jamb are painted glossy like the car. Inside, the metal is
spotless with a very neat spatter finish paint. It has reproduction
stickers, trunk mat and weatherstrip. It's complete with a full
size Firestone Wide Oval spare tire on a body color painted rim. It
also comes with a detailed jack assembly and vinyl trunk mat
too.
UNDERSIDE: Holy cow! It is detailed, it is fresh and it is
absolutely beautiful. The body was off the frame, then the frame
and chassis were glass beaded before powder coating. The
suspension, steering, and brake system were fully rebuilt and
everything functions wonderfully. It has a reproduction exhaust
system with the correct mufflers and resonators in the tailpipes
too. The fuel system was totally replaced including the tank.
Looking up at the engine everything appears to be like new. Very
stock in overall appearance with no aftermarket parts. The Muncie
M20 4 speed manual transmission is correct for this car. Power gets
transferred to a Safe-T-Track posi rear end with 3.23 gearing. The
floors are absolutely immaculate including the braces and the inner
rockers that are both neatly painted and satin black.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we
built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and
hired a team of technicians to service the essentials on every car
we sell.
CONCLUSION: I have a really good feeling about this one and you
should too! Not too often does the car get better the closer you
look, like this one did. The body off frame restoration is top
quality, and done to a very clean west coast car. I only see upside
on your investment, and keeping it in pristine condition will keep
your money growing. The next lucky owner is going to get an
extremely gorgeous car, it's going to be a blast to drive, and it
will get people talking wherever you cruise!
