Vehicle Description
1965 Pontiac GTO
GTO's have always been a popular classic and with some minor
customizations this 65 was transformed into one of the sleekest out
there. The body styles for GTO changed drastically in 1968 so this
look was only around for a short time and many think it has much
more of a classic appearance than later models. The squared off
grill even changed just 1 year later in 66. This is an original
Arizona car that is now in Texas and is one of the lesser seen post
cars that are harder to find. These cars have always had a tough
exterior but with customizations like shaved doors, custom trim and
Black paint this one definitely takes it to the next level. With
the doors free of any handles, electronic releases were installed
to gain access to the interior. A lot of the stainless has been
powder coated black but the bumpers were kept chrome as were the
front grills. The drip rails were removed giving the roofline a
nice smooth look. Minor details like this really start to stand out
when you park it next to another one. All of the glass on the car
is in good condition with tinting that helps out on those sunny
days. The car looks great and has a great stance whether it is
sitting still or rolling around on the American Racing Torque
Thrust wheels.
Pop the hood and you will reveal the 455V8 (camouflaged as 421)
motor that gets those tires spinning. The engine was really well
built and the entire engine compartment is show ready. In pictures
it looks like stainless was added to the firewall but that is
actually the gloss Black paint. The entire engine compartment
including the underside of the hood was painted to match the body.
The hood has actually been fiberglassed/filled for a nice clean
look. Only the best components were used in the construction of the
motor which includes Edelbrock aluminum 455 heads, an Edelbrock
Performer RPM air gap intake, March serpentine belt system, custom
hoses, tons of billet/chrome parts and much more. It is kept cool
by the Be Cool aluminum radiator and power comes from the Optima
battery. It is paired with a 700R4 4 speed automatic transmission
with overdrive that shifts smoothly. CPP Hydraulic brakes are in
place with Baer 13" rotors so stopping is no issue. A Global West
front suspension was also added with a Hotchkiss rear suspension
and QA1 coilovers for a smooth ride.
The interior is complete in Black to match the outside and utilizes
a combination of original and aftermarket components. The original
style upholstery with Pontiac logos grace the seats but a custom
center console has been added. This houses the Lokar shifter, added
gauges, vents and of course the always forgotten cup holders.
Vintage AC/Heat is in place and billet vents were added to the
console and the dash that look they should have been there from the
factory. The entire dash as well as the metal on the doors was
painted gloss Black giving it a much cleaner look than original. A
polished Tilt column sits in front of the driver and is topped with
an aftermarket steering wheel with Pontiac horn button. A custom
Auto Sound system delivers a great sound with a hidden headphone
jack in the glove box to plug in your favorite tunes via your phone
or mp3 player.
If your looking for a muscle car with a little extra attitude then
this classic GTO needs to be on your list!
