Overview of 1965 Pontiac GTO For Sale by Owner

Born from the desire to be free of corporate constraint, the Pontiac GTO is a lesson in defiance. It shows what happens when men figure out a way to rage against the corporate machine in a creative way. You see, General Motors had banned their auto divisions from competing in auto racing for some ridiculous reason. However, executives such as John Z. DeLorean, Russ Gee and Bill Collins knew that this was outrageous. They felt the desire to find a way to buck the rules, and they easily found it. Because why not give customers a turn-key racer that’s thinly veiled as a street car? After all, you can’t control how your customers use your car once they’ve paid the purchase price and driven off the lot, can you? Hence, the GTO was born, with a name inspired by a Ferrari legend. Today, we have a 1965 Pontiac GTO for sale from Evansville, Wisconson. This symbol of rebelliousness is available with under 100,000 miles on the clock, a 389 Tri-Power under the hood and a Muncie 4-speeder taking care of shifting. If you want it in your life, don’t waste any more time, talk to us!

Exterior and Interior

This 1965 Pontiac GTO comes in Montero Red, showcasing the car’s clearly racing-inspired looks. Its lovely stacked headlamps, Cragar SS 5-spoke chromed wheels, BF Goodrich radial T/A tires and dual exhausts all show that this is a racer at heart. Ditto the Parchment vinyl interior which can seat four adults but is definitely sporty at heart, despite the luxury trappings such as wood trim. This car’s fine light colored passenger cabin and push-button radio belie the fact that it’s meant to go fast, sound mean and look good doing so. In fact, if you pop the glovebox, you’ll see a newer Kenwood stereo with USB, AUX and Bluetooth. This perfectly sums up the GTO’s mien; things aren’t what they appear to be.

Engine

There’s a 383ci under the hood, with triple Rochester 2-barrel carburetors. Called the Tri-Power option, the center carburetor does much of the heavy lifting, with the other two acting as dumpers during full-throttle salvoes. The result is 360 horsepower and 424 lb-ft, sent to the rear wheels via a Muncie 4-speed manual gearbox and 3.90 gears.
