Pre-Owned 1965 Pontiac GTO

1965 PONTIAC GTO HARDTOP "SURVIVOR"

  We just purchased this awesome P.H.S. documented 1965 GTO Hardtop at auction inadvertently from an older couple who were the second owners. We were told that they owned the car since the early 1980’s. They were using it originally as their second vehicle and then only on weekends and special occasions which explains why it only has 89,000 original miles. The best way to describe this awesome GTO is it’s an "Original Survivor Car" with 1 older repaint. It still retains all of its original sheet metal, original interior and original drivetrain. You really need to CHECK IT OUT!!

The body, as mentioned is all original including all its outer sheet metal, floors, trunk and frame all of which are straight, solid and clean. Originally this car was "Cameo Ivory" but it was repainted in a brighter shade of White. (Personal preference I suppose) It is slick and smooth with a deep luster and show car shine. It has an original black vinyl top, and the chrome, trim and glass all appear original to the car and are incredibly in "like new"condition too. The black bucket seat appears to be all original too and is in incredible condition. It has its original console and shifter, and everything works as it should too like the gauges, wipers, lights and signals. It is all Very-Very Nice!

This GTO is powered by its original 389 c.i. 335 h.p. 4 BBL. V-8 engine that, we were told, had been rebuilt. All we know for sure is that it runs smooth and strong and sounds awesome too. We just performed a complete maintenance service to it and pulled the valve covers to inspect the top end and to replace the valve covers. We saw that the top-end looked extremely clean leading us to believe the at least the top-end had been rebuilt and at best the whole engine had been rebuilt as we were told by the previous owners. Unfortunately there is no paperwork so it is what it is I suppose. It is backed up by its original 2 speed automatic transmission and original 3:23 rear.

Other features include cold aftermarket air conditioning, power steering, rally 1 wheels with red-line tires, new dual exhaust with correct splitter tips and the original AM radio that still works!!

This is really a very nice all original 1965 GTO that has withstood the test of time. It runs, drives and sounds awesome and looks almost like it did the day it rolled off the showroom floor. Original cars like this are becoming extremely hard to find especially in this condition and their values are only going up. This car would be a great addition to anyone’s collection or as an awesome weekend cruiser. DON’T MISS IT!!
