This 1965 Pontiac GTO is more than just a classic\u2014it\u2019s one of the cars that defined an era and helped launch the American muscle car movement. Finished in a rich Maroon exterior over a striking White interior, this beautifully restored GTO combines timeless styling, raw V8 performance, and the kind of road presence that still stops people in their tracks nearly 60 years later.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HIGHLIGHTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rebuilt 400ci V8 engine<\/li>\n<li>4-speed manual transmission<\/li>\n<li>Only 4,500 miles since restoration<\/li>\n<li>Rebuilt transmission with new clutch and pressure plate<\/li>\n<li>Power steering<\/li>\n<li>Power front disc brakes with rear drum brakes<\/li>\n<li>American Racing Torque Thrust wheels<\/li>\n<li>BFGoodrich tires<\/li>\n<li>Hurst shifter<\/li>\n<li>Rust-free and exceptionally clean underside<\/li>\n<li>Extensive suspension and brake updates<\/li>\n<li>Chrome presents beautifully throughout<\/li>\n<li>Clean title in hand<\/li>\n<li>Includes invoices and restoration paperwork<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Under the hood sits a rebuilt 400 cubic-inch V8 paired with a rebuilt 4-speed manual transmission, delivering the kind of aggressive, driver-focused experience that made the GTO a legend. With a new clutch and pressure plate already installed, this Pontiac shifts confidently and pulls hard through every gear. Power steering and upgraded front disc brakes make this classic far more enjoyable and responsive on today\u2019s roads while still preserving its authentic muscle car character.<\/p>\n<p>This GTO has also received extensive mechanical attention since the current ownership, including new front spindles, calipers, brakes, ball joints, upper and lower A-arm bushings, rear control arm bushings, replacement tailpipes, a new 150-amp alternator, and new front tires. The result is a car that not only looks outstanding but feels tight, solid, and road-ready from behind the wheel.<\/p>\n<p>Visually, the car delivers exactly what enthusiasts want from a mid-\u201960s Pontiac muscle car. The deep Maroon finish pairs perfectly with the White interior, creating a classic color combination that stands out at shows and cruise nights alike. The chrome shines beautifully, the interior presents exceptionally well, and the Hurst shifter reminds you immediately that this is a true driver\u2019s machine. The underside is clean and rust-free, showing the level of care this GTO has received over the years.<\/p>\n<p>The owner notes three small blemishes on the roof and one light mark on the door, though they are difficult to notice unless specifically pointed out. With restoration documentation, invoices, and a clean title included, this is an honest, well-sorted example of one of Pontiac\u2019s most celebrated performance cars.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re looking for a weekend cruiser, a local show winner, or a true American muscle investment, this 1965 Pontiac GTO delivers the sound, style, and spirit that made the GTO name legendary.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some of the photos are from a previous listing of this vehicle<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1965 Pontiac GTO \u201cThe Legend That Started the Muscle Car Wars\u201d There are muscle cars\u2026 and then there are icons.
