1965 Pontiac GTO

This 1965 Pontiac GTO convertible was refurbished in 2020. It is finished in Starlight Black over red vinyl and powered by a 400ci V8 linked with a three-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. Equipment includes a black convertible top, power steering, power-assisted front disc brakes, 15″ wheels, a center console, a rear bench seat, and a modern retro-style radio. The selling dealer acquired the car in 2020 and it is now offered in Idaho with a tiger tail and a clean Illinois title. The selling dealer indicates that the floors, trunk pan, and quarter panels were replaced in 2020. The car was then refinished in Starlight Black. Exterior details include a black convertible top, stacked headlights, a hood scoop, dual side mirrors, and chrome bumpers and trim. The 15″ Rally II–style wheels are mounted with 215/65 BFGoodrich Silvertown Radial redline tires manufactured in 2019 and 2021. The car is equipped with power steering and power-assisted front disc brakes. The cabin houses front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in red vinyl along with a color-coordinated dashboard and door panels. The carpets were replaced in 2020. Amenities include a center console, a modern retro-style radio, and a heater. Instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer, a fuel-level gauge, and aftermarket auxiliary gauges mounted beneath the dashboard. The odometer was reset in 2020 and now shows around 2,700 miles, approximately 1400 of which were added under current ownership. The clock does not work. The selling dealer indicates that the 400ci V8, three-speed automatic transmission, and limited-slip rear end were replaced between 2019 and 2020. A stainless steel Flowmaster exhaust system is installed, and additional underside images can be found in the gallery.
