For your consideration here is a very rare and true 1965 Pontiac Lemans GTO Convertible (PHS Documented) originally equipped with a 389 WT block (4bbl), 4 speed car, original Montero Red with Black Top and Black Interior. This GTO was last registered in the State of New York in 1984. Although, she may be far from her glory days this 1965 GTO Convertible is well worth saving, it will need an extensive restoration from the ground up. The original 389 WT block is long gone and the previous owner placed a later model 400cid Pontiac motor in it. The Muncie transmission is still in the car as well. The original rear axle has been changed out many years ago as well to a 10 bolt. The 400cid motor is not locked up and will run with some maintenance. However, a True 1965 WS code 9778789 389cid/360hp tri-power block is included with the sale of this GTO and is for the most part complete, original Delco Distributor, timing cover, balancer and crank pulley. It will need to be completely rebuilt and gone through as it has not been used for many decades. The WS block passenger cylinder head is marked 093 which would indicate a replacement and the Driver's head is a 77. The Tri-power intake is pretty much complete including Fuel lines with weather head, correct Rochester 2G's and the rare vacuum components, diaphragm, Vacuum slider, check valve and hoses. This too will need to go under a complete restoration. The GTO has most of its trim, and some extras in the trunk. There is rust throughout the GTO on many panels, floorboards, trunk, box braces, firewall and dash areas. The convertible rack is complete and appears to be in decent shape. The frame appears to be solid with no apparent signs of rot or damage. The incorrect bucket seats seen in the photos will be removed and replaced with correct buckets seen below. So, if you're ready to restore one of Pontiacs finest cars produced, here is your opportunity in 2014! I imagine there are hardly any documented 389/4speed 65 GTO's left waiting to be restored this day in age. The sale of this 1965 GTO Convertible will come with a clear Florida Certificate of Title. Should you have any questions regarding the GTO, please do not hesitate to ask. Best of luck to all and Happy Bidding!
