For Sale: 1965 Pontiac GTO in Bettendorf, Iowa

Frame off restoration and is finished in Starlight Black over a Black vinyl interior with a matching convertible top. The restoration is approximately 15 years old and continues to present beautifully. Accompanying the car is an impressive collection of documentation, including Pontiac Historic Services (PHS) documentation, the original Protect-O-Plate, hundreds of restoration receipts and records, the owner's manual, and original Pontiac booklets. Under the hood sits a period-correct 389 cubic-inch V8 equipped with Pontiac's signature Tri-Power setup, paired with a four-speed manual transmission and a 3.90 rear axle. While the engine is not numbers-matching, it is consistent with the car's original 1965 configuration (Was born a Tri-Power) and may be a service replacement according to the casting dates. The engine was rebuilt in 2011, and recent mechanical work includes a tune-up, new spark plugs and wires, a new distributor cap and rotor, timing adjustment, and a leak-down test, which the engine passed (2021). The exterior is complemented by Cragar wheels wrapped in Redline tires, along with Flowmaster mufflers and the distinctive dual exhaust splitters that give the GTO its unmistakable rear appearance. Note this car is a convertible conversion. Inside, the Black vinyl interior features front bucket seats, a center console, GTO-embroidered floor mats, a period-correct-style modern AM/FM radio, Kicker kick-panel speakers, and a rear-seat speaker. The seat covers, door panels, gauges, and sill plates were replaced during the restoration and continue to present exceptionally well. Overall, the restoration has held up very well, and the car still looks fantastic top to bottom. Odometer reads 3237 miles.
