1965 Pontiac GTO
“Way back in 1964, Pontiac revolutionized the auto industry with a factory hot rod many consider the first American muscle car. It was, of course, the Pontiac GTO and it was created by men called DeLorean, Estes, Gee, Collins, and Wangers, who went around the boardroom, outsmarted the bean counters, and tapped into the pleasure centers of America's young minds.
Everyone under 40 wanted a new GTO. And success came quickly. The projected sales of 5000 turned out to be a joke. Pontiac sold more than 32,000 that first year, igniting industry-wide imitators, from 442s to GTXs, and an era of performance never seen before. The first generation of the Pontiac GTO lasted until 1967, and these cars continue to be valued collectibles.” -Hagerty
This 1965 Pontiac GTO is the recipient of an older cosmetic restoration which has held up very well and although not perfect it has exceptional exterior and interior presentation. The correct motor in this GTO was rebuilt in 2015 and has had very few miles since. During that period front power discs were added. The 389 cubic inch motor which now has tri-power comes to a quick start and provides a musical rumble from the exhaust. The four-speed manual transmission shifts smoothly through out the gears and the rear tire traction is provide by the Safe-T-Track differential.
The black interior presents very well with no areas of excessive wear or fading. Auxiliary gauges have been added for accurate readings of the water temperature and oil pressure. Between the front bucket seats is a center console with that classic Hurst shifter, pump the gas turn the key and it instantaneously brings you back to the beginning of the Muscle Car era.
Rolling on original style Rallye II wheels with BF Goodrich Radial T/A's this 1965 Pontiac GTO is the complete package.
Complete with PHS documentation.
