This project needs total restoration. It is more than most would take on but it is an Iris Mist convertible with the matching # 389 4bbl engine.Power steering,power brakes,power top. The original trans was replaced with a turbo 400.The rear end was in pieces but I will include a housing with a 323 posi from a 65 gto. The engine has a broken valve in it and will need rebuilt but otherwise the bearings and cylinder walls look good. I also have a complete set of rebuilt drum brakes,backing plates,wheel cylinders I will include. The car was very complete but the back seat will need replaced or built from scratch. The body is straight but has major rust issues including a section of the frame. I have replaced the right side outer rocker, repaired right door hinge post and front of the right rear wheelhouse and quarter panel. I have the new right inner rocker,floor pans and braces,and lower windshield channel. It will need a complete trunk pan and braces,and lower rear quarter patch panels.Don't ask the reserve. Clear title.This vehicle has been completely disassembled, you must pick it up.Call or text Craig 9188013218 On Jan-23-14 at 06:27:25 PST, seller added the following information: http://ultimategto.com/cgi-bin/statsexplorer.cgi?year=1965&f1=dataplateOn Jan-23-14 at 06:38:31 PST, seller added the following information: I have added a link and this text from a GTO forum to help with decoding the data plate. The 65 GTO was an option to the Tempest Lemans, here is a decoder of the vin#. The GTO and Lemans both used 37 series code until 1966 when the GTO became series code 42.1965 VIN Plate 237375K100001 2=Division (Pontiac) 37=Series Number(Lemans) (33=Tempest, 35=Tempest Custom, 37=Tempest LeMans and GTO) 37=Body Style Code Number (Hardtop,2-door) 5=Year(1965) K=Assembly Plant(Kansas City, MO) 100001=Production Numbers Clones are hard to tell from an original GTO, The Data Plate or Body Tag for 1965 is located on the left hand front of the firewall, in the engine compartment. Accessory Codes will identify if the Car is a true GTO. Here is an example of the code on a 65 GTO;ACC. X 2P 3K 4F 5N5 groups make up the codes for example:(1st Group) X = power windows, etc.(2nd Group) P = radio (1964-1965), etc.(3rd Group) K = dome reading lamps (1964-1965), etc.(4th Group) F = remote mirror, etc.(5th Group) N = GTO option (1964-1965 only). You are looking for an N in the 5th group, the first group is not identified with a number prior to the letter, most of the accessories are in the first group.As far as price, check all numbers on the engine, (production date code, block casting number, engine production number and engine code) a numbers matching original Goat will bring top dollars. Unrestored or rough shape may be worth up to $10,000. Depends on what you have to work with.On Jan-23-14 at 08:32:26 PST, seller added the following information: I have ordered the PHS for this car. I realize it won't arrive until after the auction end but I will contact the winning bidder and if it's not confirmed as a GTO you don't have to buy it. I should have the PHS by Monday or Tuesday. Thanks
