We will start with the exterior of this GTO. The body on it is laser straight down the sides and has one of the best fits of the panels that we have ever seen on a GTO. All the gaps are even and symmetrical and you can see that it has an excellent fit of the doors, hood, trunk, and top. The paint on this 65 was redone and base coat clear coat. It features the midnight blue paint scheme which is the factory option for it. You can see a gorgeous eye to detail as it has been wet sanded, buffed, and polished out to a mirror finish that slick is a ribbon. New front and rear bumpers were installed at the time of the restoration, and we can see that the rest of the tram and stainless is beautiful from the wheel well opening molding and rocker molding to all the window trim and bezels. The glass in this Pontiac is just as nice as the rest of the vehicle and we could see that the seals and weather stripping have been replaced. A new white convertible top was installed at the time of restoration and is also the factory option. To finish off the stance it's sitting on a set of factory 14"" steel wheels with the correct hubcaps and a set of Radial Red Line Tires FR70-14.
Next, we will look at the interior of this Convertible. On the inside, it's done in the factory 217-33 option of blue that flows perfectly with the exterior. This GTO was factory-ordered with bucket seats and console that houses the automatic shifter. Both door panels look to have been replaced at the time of the restoration and are like new. The seats are done the factory-style covers and all their trim is beautiful. Looking at the dash we can see that all the metal is just as nice as the rest of the car. It features a Two-tone blue scheme that flows perfectly with the door panels. It has a new pad that was installed, and the GTO emblem and pull bar are in great condition. This '65 features the factory-style steering wheel and horn. The factory gauges are in excellent condition and working as they should. They feature wood-grain accents that provide a beautiful compliment. All the lights, wipers, and turn signals are working on this GTO as well. The carpet and sill plates are all very nice as well. Inside the trunk is rock solid and we can see that it is detailed out with the trunk mat and has the matching FR70 14 Steel Wheel spare.
Finally, we will get to the driveline of this Pontiac. Under the hood we can see the same eye for detail that was present with the rest of the build was carried over. All of the metal is beautiful, and the paint has a gorgeous finish as well. The power comes from the Original Matching #s 389 V8 Engine that's set up with the factory four-barrel intake and original 3896S Carter AFB Carb. It's dressed in chrome valve covers and factory-style air cleaner. This GTO was factory-ordered with Power Steering and Power Brakes. The 389 V8 is mated to the factory Super Turbine 300, ST-300, two-speed automatic transmission that goes out back to the original Saf-T-Trac 10 Bolt Rear End with 3.23 Gears. For exhaust, it has manifolds with new dual pipes and mufflers that exit out the back. When we look under this GTO, we can see they did an excellent job with the frame-off restoration as all the floor pans were cleaned, detailed, and painted out in red oxide. The frame is detailed out in black, and they installed new body bushings. Also, new bushings were installed in the suspension components along with new shocks being installed. On the highway the 389 runs out great and the transmission shifts with ease. Also, it handles great and makes for a great ride. You won't want to miss out on this quality 1965 GTO Convertible that has had the same owner since 1970!
