This 1965 Pontiac GTO convertible is powered by a 389ci V8 equipped with tri-power induction and backed by a four-speed manual transmission and a Safe-T-Track limited-slip differential. A refurbishment carried out in 2010 involved repainting the car in red with white pinstriping and replacing the Parchment vinyl upholstery. Equipment includes a power-operated white soft top, a hood scoop, a center console, a Hurst shifter, a push-button AM radio, Rally wheels, and power steering. The carburetors have been rebuilt in preparation for the sale, and the fuel tank, sending unit, and engine oil were replaced.
The 389ci V8 is fitted with three Rochester two-barrel carburetors and was factory rated at 360 horsepower. The dual exhaust system flows into splitters with twin beveled outlets that exit behind the rear wheels. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a Safe-T-Track limited-slip differential with 3.90:1 gearing.
The car left the factory finished in Montero Red (R), and the body have been mounted to a rotisserie and repaired before being repainted during the aforementioned refurbishment. Exterior details include a power-operated white soft top, a hood scoop, white pinstriping, backup lights, and GTO badging.
Steel Rally wheels wear chrome hubcaps and trim rings and are mounted with reproduction Firestone Deluxe Champion redline tires. The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is handled by unassisted drums.
The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench trimmed in Parchment vinyl with color-coordinated door panels. Woodgrain and bright metal trim accent the dashboard, and black carpets line the floors. Additional appointments include a center console, a Hurst shifter, a remote-control side mirror, a push-button AM radio, and front lap belts.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames Rally gauges consisting of a 120-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges.
The five-digit odometer shows 17k miles and has rolled over. Total mileage is unknown.
