1965 Pontiac GTO

Pontiac GTO Convertible with Tri-Power 389, 4-Speed, and PHS Documentation

Red paint, a black power convertible top, and a Tri-Power 389 make this 1965 Pontiac GTO a memorable example of Pontiac's early muscle car years. With its four-speed manual transmission, Hurst wheels, and desirable factory-style equipment, this beautifully presented GTO convertible captures the excitement that helped establish the GTO's reputation.

Under the hood is a date-code-correct 389 cubic inch V8 equipped with Pontiac's famous Tri-Power induction system. Three two-barrel carburetors give the engine its distinctive appearance and strong performance character. A Muncie M20 four-speed manual transmission sends power to a Positraction rear end with 3.32:1 gears. Power steering and power brakes add welcome comfort on the highway.

The red exterior is complemented by a black vinyl power top and matching parade cover. Aluminum Hurst five-spoke wheels wrapped in redline tires give this GTO muscle car a classic performance look.

Inside, black vinyl bucket seats surround a center console and floor shifter. A Pontiac manifold vacuum gauge, Rally gauges, deluxe wood-rimmed steering wheel, power windows, and push-button AM/FM radio give the cabin plenty of period personality. The car still has a full-size spare.

PHS documentation and a copy of the original window sticker provide valuable information about this Pontiac's history and equipment. For enthusiasts looking to buy a Pontiac GTO, this classic GTO brings together some of the era's most desirable features. With Tri-Power induction, a Muncie four-speed, and open-air styling, this Pontiac GTO for sale is a wonderful reminder of why the GTO became an American performance legend.
