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.

During the 1970s, the Muscle Car era was standing at its pinnacle. One of the meanest street machines at the time was the Pontiac GTO. With this listing, we are going over not just any GTO but the Judge model. In the early ‘60s, the GTO started off its legacy as a Pontiac LeMans owing to the American engineer and inventor John DeLorean. The second generation of the GTO saw a sub-model called the “Judge” that was more expensive than the standard. It was offered for only three continuous years, making it a relatively rare model. What we have here is an example of the 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge that is currently located in New Jersey. With just 17,000 miles on its clock, this beast is available for sale with a build sheet and some original paperwork.
The Pontiac GTO was the work of a team of automotive greats. John DeLorean, Russ Gee, and Bill Collins came together to circumvent a General Motors ban on auto racing by their divisions. The trio’s thinking was that while Pontiac couldn’t go racing, there was nothing to stop the brand from creating street performance machines that individual owners could race themselves. Cue the GTO’s arrival for the 1963 model year. With a name inspired by the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO, Pontiac’s GTO would go on to become a symbol of the muscle car segment. If you want a slice of the action, check out this first-generation 1966 Pontiac GTO that’s for sale right now, having covered 1,700 miles since the restoration so far. The car has undergone a rotisserie restoration, as reported by the current owner, who’s had it since 1995 and includes many powder-coated components for longevity.
An automaker has got to be quite bold when naming a car after a classic French city and a legendary 24-hour race. That automaker was Pontiac, when they revealed the LeMans as a stand-alone model in 1963. Previously, the LeMans was the top trim level for their Tempest model. Produced over six generations, the LeMans is now a highly sought-after classic, particularly first and second-generation models. Our featured 1965 Pontiac LeMans GTO is a lovely first-generation model that awaits a new owner having reportedly traveled under 28,000 miles. Let’s discover what it offers and why you should add it to your collection.
There is no doubt that Pontiac's 1960s-era cars would not have been as exciting as they were without the vision, insights, and pure determination that GM's automobile engineer and executive John DeLorean had. He and his creative team of automotive designers and engineers transformed ordinary cars into intriguing vehicles. The 1969-1970 Pontiac Grand Prix was a great example of this. The Grand Prix was first offered for the 1962 model year. Pontiac created this sporty personal luxury two-door car to compete with Ford's Thunderbird. The Grand Prix from 1969 to 1970 was available in two models, Model J being the base model. What we have here is a 1970 Pontiac Grand Prix Model J with 38,500 original miles on its clock. It has all servicing up to date and you get three keys and the original owner's manual with the sale of this car.
The Pontiac Catalina was Pontiac’s full-size offering between 1950 and 1981. The Catalina was initially a trim offering on the automaker’s Chieftain, before becoming its own nameplate. Pontiac made the Catalina with many body styles, including a sedan, station wagon, convertible and coupe. This 1963 Pontiac Catalina Sport Coupe is probably the sportiest offering of the line-up, and it looks fantastic, having just 38,300 miles on the clock. The current owner reports that the car was recently appraised in June 2024 as well.
The 1969 Pontiac Firebird Convertible, introduced in 1967 and designed as a pony car to compete with the legendary Ford Mustang, General Motors made one of the best muscle cars to have ever been built. This first generation Firebird had characteristic Coke bottle styling shared with its cousin, the Chevrolet Camaro. Only a total of 11,649 two-door convertibles were reported to have been made, making this particular one we have today a rare piece. It is equipped with a 428 ci V8 engine from a 1968 model, clocking a total of 777 miles on the odometer. This Pontiac Firebird is also the model that received a major facelift with a new front-end design without the Endura bumper, just for the year 1969 before being succeeded by the second generation in 1970. For sale in Boca Raton, Florida, here is your chance to own a hot Pontiac Firebird.
What on Earth is this thing? If you haven’t heard of the Meyers Manx, we don’t blame you. This curio is based on a shortened VW Beetle chassis, and was initially designed for desert racing.

So, if you want something quirky and playful, give us a call.
Chevy’s Camaro and its stablemate, the Pontiac Firebird were introduced in 1967 as GM’s pony car duo. Not content to let Ford have all the fun, the General was firing on all cylinders. The Camaro and Firebird were colossal successes, and a mere three years later, the second generation debuted for eager American petrolheads to enjoy. This generation would run until 1981 and was a totally new design. If you’re a fan of the second-generation Camaro, check out this 1981 Chevrolet Camaro Berlinetta, which is up for grabs.
