Description:

1965 PONTIAC GTO
This listing is for an estate, 1965 Pontiac GTO convertible. It was purchased by the current owner in 1997 and restored in 1998. The vehicle's top and interior were restored along with some of the body trim. It may need a new starter (though it starts) and drives. The car will sometimes die in idle. It has a wonderful V-8 hum, runs well but could probably use an engine tuning. It has recently had engine fluids replaced, including oil. It is neither concourse queen nor a vehicle in need of any major work. It is in very good condition and wants to be driven.
GTO is a racing term for a car with an enclosed body rather than a roadster. The O was added signifying that enough have been built to qualify them for racing as a regular production vehicle rather than as a prototype or concept vehicle. The original Iris Mist color was too feminine for the masculine sport of auto racing so many vehicles (like this one) were painted other colors. Because very very few GTOs were painted this color, it is no doubt a rare combination.
