Description : Gateway classic cars of Nashville is proud to digitally present this 1965 Pontiac GTO. Sporting a beautiful arrest me red paint job with a white bucket seat with center console and red dash and carpet, this '65 GTO is ready for a night on the town. Now I might be a little strange, ok, a lot, but the real beauty in this sweet ride is the drive train. When I was young and roaming the streets looking for a race or trouble there were two three letter words that always caused panic. The first word was âcop" the second was just as scary âGTO". Powering this 1965 Pontiac GTO is the legendary 389 Tri power, so called because the engine displaces 389 cubic inches, joking, of course this Pontiac power plant is topped with 3 Rochester 2-barrel carburetors. Now back in the good olde days this would have been backed up with either a 3 speed automatic transmission of a 4 speed manual. This red '65 GTO has a 5-speed manual giving you one more gear to disappear. The engine compartment is clean and tidy and all wires are well routed. The interior of the car is well light with all courtesy lights working. The trunk the same way and the trunk light works as well. This GTO has had a couple of upgrades and power front disc brakes leading the way in the safety department. Face it this big girl needs good brakes. The rims look like Creagar 5 stars and have Red line tires wrapped around them and the spare matches minus the rim. Driving the car is a joy. It is quick and responsive and handles well and I didn't notice any unnecessary squeaks, rattles or mystery noises but then I might have been paying attention to the exhaust note. With that, who needs a radio? Options for this 1965 Pontiac GTO include: AM/FM cassette with 12 disc JVC CD player, Spare redline tire, Power steering and brakes, Tilt steering wheel, Seat belts, Vinyl interior, Radial tires, Ally rims and Posi traction because, two black marks are better than one.
