1965 Pontiac GTO

LMC is pleased to offer for sale this 1965 Pontiac GTO Convertible.

 The first Pontiac GTO in '64 was an option package for the Pontiac Tempest and was restyled for the 1965 model year. Changes included adding 3.1 inches to the overall length while retaining the same wheelbase and interior dimensions. It had Pontiac's characteristic vertically stacked quad headlights on either side of the black "egg-crate" grille with a new simulated hood scoop. The dashboard design was changed and an optional rally gauge cluster added a more legible tachometer and oil pressure gauge. The 389 engines received revised cylinder heads with re-cored intake passages and high-rise intake manifolds, improving breathing. Rated power increased to 335 hp for the base four-barrel engine.

  This GTO has the classic good looks of mid-60's muscle. Raise this GTO's hood to reveal a clean Satin Black engine compartment housing the unique Pontiac Turquoise 389 cu.in. Engine with the correct 9778789 casting number and "YS" engine code. The smooth running 389 with 4 bbl provides 335HP delivered with the assistance of the factory optional automatic transmission. The engine bay is very well done however the big surprise under the hood is to see this convertible has Factory Air Conditioning for your comfort during top up driving. There weren't many GTO convertibles built that year and very rare to find one that was ordered with the 389 engine, Automatic and AC combination. Other conveniences are power steering and power brakes. Documented by the Pontiac Historical Services paperwork that will be provided to the cars next caretaker. 

 Stunning in Starlight Black with subtle Red pinstripes running straight and true along the top belt line which highlight the car's super clean profile. The Black Convertible Top has a very good tight fit and a nice clear rear window. Open the door and you'll find the factory correct Parchment and Black interior package that is both sporty yet classy in design. The firm front bucket and rear bench seats feature bright chrome trim, nicely pleated covers and era-correct factory optional front lap belts with side retractors. In front of the driver, a Custom Sports Steering Wheel spins a simulated wood rim with three steel spokes around a Turquoise Pontiac-branded horn button. The engine's vitals are displayed by round-faced dials set in the dash that has the 'striped chrome' inserts. The full console running between the bucket seats has the same 'striped chrome'. In front of the automatic shifter is the Pontiac-branded Manifold Vacuum Gauge. Overall, a very appealing interior design.

  This GTO muscle car features an ideal blend of performance, style and top down fun -- it'll be an absolute pleasure to drive and show. Start humming the iconic song by Ronny and the Daytona's - "Little GTO" - you'll want to put the top down and get on down the road.
