Gateway Classic Cars of Charlotte is proud to digitally present this 1965 Pontiac GTO Convertible 5-speed! The factory Burgundy Red paint and Black Convertible top (N2 Code) make a striking combination with deep clearcoat shine. It looks terrific in the sunlight, precisely what you want a convertible to do. You can also tell there was an investment that went well beyond the paint to ensure the body was completed correctly. The story on this one is that a Pontiac dealership owner in Texas initially bought it, and it stayed in the family until a few years ago. That's why you see careful attention to detail in the restoration. The new-for-1965 vertical stack headlights shine like jewels; all the trim is neat; correct GTO badging is on every side, big chrome bumpers shine like mirrors, and the intricate tail panel is complete. The whole package sits on a staggered set of polished Intro alloys. When you open the hood, you can immediately see this motor was upgraded for both power and flair. The clean engine bay showcases fabricated Pontiac valve covers, a polished air topper, upgraded pulleys, an electric fan, and fresh rubber components. This is a 400 cubic-inch V8 that the consignor states has been bored and stroked to 467ci total. Plus, it has all the right go-fast goodies like Edelbrock heads, Edelbrock hi-rise intake, Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and MSD ignition. Those long tube headers add even more power while contributing to the throaty rumble of the dual exhaust. You have complete control over this upgraded V8 and its thunderous soundtrack thanks to the five-speed manual transmission that has replaced the original automatic transmission (Code J). The factory-optioned power steering and power brakes help keep this stunning GTO easy to drive. This is a big power machine, so they also give you the right tools to harness it. This includes a four-wheel disc brakes upgrade, modern Goodyear Eagle GT tires, power steering, and sway bars front & rear. Has PHS documentation. You can tell this is a real Tiger, just by driving it! Contact us today to get this beauty in your garage!
