This 1965 Pontiac GTO convertible underwent a refurbishment that was completed in 2020 and involved a repaint in Torch Red, a refresh of the black interior, an overhaul of the 389ci V8, and the installation of a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. The car is also equipped with a triple-carburetor induction setup, a limited-slip differential, power steering, Wilwood front disc brakes, and Rally II-style wheels as well as a black soft top, a retro-style head unit, a Hurst shifter, and air conditioning. Acquired by the seller in 2024, this GTO is now offered with Pontiac Historic Services documentation, refurbishment records, a car cover, and Georgia registration.
