Pontiac may be a brand name that has long since been put out to pasture, but the love for some of their most iconic cars remains strong today. That's why cars like this 1965 Pontiac GTO have a cult fanbase, who admire the engineering, power, and presence that was presented to the public in the ’60s. The Pontiac GTO was devised from the Tempest but quickly became its own standalone model. Conjured up by GM executives during a company-wide ban on racing, the GTO was a breath of fresh air. It offered genuine performance credentials and set a blazing trail that other muscle cars soon tried to follow. Our featured car is a 1965 Pontiac GTO Convertible, which features a modern powerplant in the form of a 6.0-liter LS2 V8 engine. This incredible restomod presents itself from the outside with the kind of subtly expected of a sleeper and could be yours.
The external appearance of the Pontiac GTO is unmistakable for anything else, thanks to its split grille design and stacked dual headlights. Despite featuring a more modern engine, this restomod stays true to the car’s original looks. You’ll find stock-looking rimes that are wrapped in redline tires. Open the trunk, and you’ll find a spare, too. Meanwhile, the white folding roof is new, and so is its electric motor. Step inside, and the theme continues, although the aftermarket pedals and gauges may hint at the extra turn of speed this GTO houses. Behind the simulated wood sterling wheel and chrome center console, you get dials monitoring oil pressure, battery voltage, water temperature, and fuel levels, along with a tachometer and a speedometer that reads up to 160 mph. There’s also a new glovebox featured.
Under the hood of this 1965 Pontiac GTO Convertible lies the modern heart of a 6.0-liter LS2 V8 engine. The exhaust system is reported to have been redone, while there’s also a new six-speed manual gearbox that channels the LS2’s power to the rear wheels.

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!
"They don't make them like they used to." This is a line that is thrown around a lot to signify that things were better in the good old days. While most find this particular line to be overly enthusiastic, there is some truth to certain aspects. Present today is one of those times where "They don't make them like they used to" applies perfectly and takes shape with this 1970 Pontiac GTO. With a reported 500 miles on its clock, this classic muscle is a looker and is ready to throw it back to the good old days of motoring.
A symbol of rebellion against the corporate machine, the Pontiac GTO was the cheeky result of General Motors banning their divisions from competing in auto racing in 1963. Three plucky gents, namely Bill Collins, Russ Gee and John Z. DeLorean weren’t pleased. However, these three smarts realized that while they couldn’t officially compete in racing, there was nothing to stop them from making thinly-veiled racing machines that could be sold to customers, to do as they pleased. Hence, the GTO was born in 1963, with a name inspired by the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO. Based on the Pontiac Tempest, it saw a large V8 stuffed under the hood and some neat performance upgrades. Today, we’ve got a 1971 Pontiac GTO for sale from Schenectady, New York. It’s done 80,462 miles and comes with a nice 400ci V8 to enjoy, paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox.

Pontiac, founded in 1926 was responsible for many all-American heroes of the automotive scene. Names such as Firebird, GTO, Bonneville, Tempest and Fiero are still held in high regard today. Sadly, the Pontiac division was shut down by GM in 2010. In their later years, they continued to create an interesting car every now and then. The Solstice was one of them, a compact two-door convertible sports car that was made between 2006 and 2010. That’s what we have here, a 2006 Pontiac Solstice Roadster from San Antonio, Texas. It’s got a 2.4-liter Ecotec 4-cylinder, a convertible top, and is rear-wheel drive as you’d expect from any self-respecting sports car. With just over 35,000 miles on the odometer, this curio could be yours!
Pontiac’s Firebird is an iconic car. It was made between 1967 and 2002 across four generations, and the sister car of Chevy’s Camaro. Notably, the second and third generations of Firebird had significant screen presences, in the shape of featuring prominently on Smokey and the Bandit (second generation), as well as Knight Rider (third generation). It’s no surprise, given that the second-generation’s muscular and pumped-up looks lent itself well to star alongside Burt Reynolds, while the third generation’s sleek computer-graphics esque design was perfect to be the car of the future – talking and all. Today, we’ve got a nice second-generation 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am for sale from The Villages, Florida. This machine has got the Oldsmobile 403ci V8 under the hood, and rolls on a set of aftermarket Snowflake wheels. We’re also informed that the interior has been reupholstered.
Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a show-stopping example of American muscle restored to concours-level detail. Verified by its X66 code and built at the Norwood, Ohio plant, this real-deal Super Sport coupe combines factory originality with subtle performance enhancements that elevate both its drivability and collectability. With its matching-numbers big-block, correct Turbo 400 transmission, and period-authentic Holley 4346 carburetor, this Camaro is the perfect blend of raw 1960s muscle and expert craftsmanship.
Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.
Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.
