Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this classy 1965 Pontiac Grand Prix! 1965 was a banner year for Pontiac styling. Many consider the 1965 full-size Pontiacs to be the peak of the 'Wide-Track' Pontiac styling and marketing trend. The cars were wider, lower, and longer with maximum emphasis on the 'Venturi' coke bottle lines along the flanks and the stacked headlight, split grill signature that Pontiac pioneered years earlier. This 1965 Grand Prix looks exceptionally well. The formal roofline is unique to the model and offers a nice contrast to the flashy body styling. The car was blessed with a restoration in 2010 and resprayed in the original Cameo Ivory roof over Nightwatch Blue body, with a lovely Morrokide interior finished in a Plum. The car is rust free with no indication of accidents or body rot. The chrome is in good condition with only minor blemishes. The bucket seated interior is free of rips and tears, and all the gauges are in working order including the signature Pontiac Vacuum gauge on the center console. Under the hood is a healthy 4bbl carbureted, 389ci V8 spinning a 3speed automatic. The car is unique with no power steering or brakes. That said it runs and drives sublime. With firm reassuring stopping and well weighted - surprisingly easy - steering. The finishing touch is a set of wire PMD hubcapped wheels wrapped in thin white walls, just like back in the day! The car comes with a copy of the original window sticker, owner's manual and Protecto-O-Plate. This big poncho is a classic of the 'jet age', with swagger for days and lots of presence. Big coupes like this really turn heads, and this 65 Grand Prix will make you the center of attention!
