Pontiac GTO 1965
General description :
By the early 1960s, Pontiac, GM's 'lowly companion marque', was experiencing a huge spike in prestige and popularity. Eventually the GTO, an octane-infused performance package turned brand halo dynamo, became one of the hottest names in the automotive landscape. And today, when you take a close look at classics like this striking drop-top, it's not hard to understand why. A hot Pontiac 389 drains factory Tri-power to optimize athletic jaunts. The car's smooth Super Turbine 2-speed is tame enough to cruise the highway, yet strong enough to slay the stoplight. And its impeccable restoration mixes correct blue and black aesthetics with acute attention to detail. If you're in the market for a tailored muscle car that wraps legendary performance in limitless appeal, you're looking at your next collector car!
