1965 Pontiac, Pontiac Historic Services certified GTO, 389 cu in tri-power motor rebuilt in 2008 to 1965 specifications The body is straight and correct factory color paint, Palmetto Green, has very few blemishes. It was stripped, sanded and painted with two stage paint. The body is way better than average with very little signs of rust on the undercarriage and no replaced floor pans. I have spent over $5,000.00 on this car in the past 6 years including some interior upholstery replacement, brake/steering system overhaul, and a complete engine rebuild in 2008. I can give you a complete breakdown on the engine rebuild and components, but in general a newly rebuilt tri-power setup was installed, correct 1965 heads and cam were replaced, it was bored to about 400 cu. in. and new pistons. The motor was correctly rebuilt so that unleaded, high test, gas can be used. Originally the vehicle was built as a 4barrel car and at some point a 1965 389 tri-power block was replaced. When I got the car the tri-power set up was not working properly and I ended up buying two more setups to get one that worked well. I am including the two extra setups in the auction. In addition, I have some upholstery parts from Year One, an antenna, and a ram air system that fits over the three carburetors. The value of these extra parts would easily be $1,000.00. I can provide photos of these extra parts. With a set of stock wheels (it currently has Cragar SS mag wheels) and some red line tires, this car would really be sharp. I am selling this car to get my collection down but it is a very suitable daily driver. It was built as a no options/go fast muscle car. It is a second year GTO, the original muscle car. It has no tach, no center console, an am radio (that comes on but will not pick up a station), back up lights don't work, No A/C, NO power brakes or steering, but the cigarette lighter works. Please be aware that since this is a nearly 50 year old automobile it is far from perfect.
