Vehicle Description
Admit it, it's the color that first attracted you to this 1965
Pontiac GTO. This has the perfect paint combo for those who want to
grab attention with luster instead of loud color. But since this is
a real-deal Goat with its original big tri-power 389 V8 and
four-on-the-floor, it's allure is much more than just skin
deep.
This one lets its Burgundy Red paint do all the talking. While it's
the factory-correct color for this '65, a thorough professional
respray gives it the kind of clearcoat luster that makes people
take notice the moment the sunshine hits it. But you can really
tell the investment went well beyond the color to make sure the
body was looking its best, and the big chrome bumpers shine like
mirrors. As you get up close, the details are right, too. The
new-for-1965 vertical stack headlights shine like jewels; all the
trim is straight; correct GTO badging is on the front, rear, and
fenders; and the intricate tail panel is complete. There's been a
cool set of Cragar wheels added with black centers that look great
when combined with the deep, dark tint of the windows.
There's more evidence of quality care and maintenance the moment
you lay eyes on the bucket seats. They are crisp right down to the
correct arrowhead emblem embossed into each one. Matching door
panels with correct GTO emblems and deep dark carpeting make this a
true classic muscle car experience. Aiming for a more European feel
in the GTO, Pontiac designers gave it a wood grained dashboard with
the round rally gauge cluster. Plus, there are some nice additions
such as the auxiliary gauge trio and the knob-style AM/FM/cassette
stereo that has an aux input for your iPod. Your left hand will
love the new Grant wood grained steering wheel, and your right one
will likely never leave the Hurst shifter. Plus, a nice jet age
center console does a great job of uniting the feeling of premium
and performance together in one package.
Pontiac's famous 389 cubic-inch V8 is a legend that doesn't need
much introduction. But when you pop the hood at the car shows,
people will gravitate to what's on top of this V8 first. That the
famous tri-power setup of the trio of Rochester two-barrel
carburetors. Plus, we have the PHS (Pontiac Historic Services) docs
that show this motor is date coded correctly to be original, and
that the carbs are the correct setup. Even the Muncie M20
four-speed manual is the correct transmission for the car. This
option package was the most ideal setup you could have in 1965, and
this one has proven to be one of the few that were born that way.
So we know how much you're going to enjoy the extra crackle from
the V8 as the dual exhaust howls with delight when you decide to
drive this stick-shift muscle car legend to its fullest. And
because we all know you will, we've got a ton of receipts to
showing the right maintenance right down to a new distributor, plug
wires, spark plugs, and aluminum flex fan.
Complete with owner's manual and aforementioned PHS docs, this is a
rare deal on one of the most desirable muscle car around. One that
looks and sounds this good won't last long in our showroom. Call
