Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this 1965 Pontiac Lemans GTO Clone!
The GTO tiger was all the rage in the 60s. Many give Pontiac credit for starting the 'muscle car' craze as we know it. The GTO was THE quintessential muscle car and the most popular. So popular that it's still highly sought after today. This 65 GTO clone reflects that desirability; having been rebuilt to such a high detail that it's literally indistinguishable from a GTO optioned 1965 Lemans. This car presents and drives like near new. The exterior is painted in a unique aqua green over parchment white interior with bucket seats and center console. The car is topped with a white convertible roof, which raises and lowers at the touch of a button. Powering this beast is a 400ci V8 with '6X' Pontiac heads breathing through - period correct - Pontiac Tri-power carburetors. The engine runs like butter and snatches this "GTO" around with ease. All that Pontiac torque is put to the ground through a 4-speed manual transmission. This car is a real pleasure to row through the gears. With plenty of low-end grunt and solid mid-range punch. The car is rust free and has good panel fitment. It looks gorgeous on the period correct Rallye I wheels wrapped in sexy Redline tires. This car is everything you remember a 1965 GTO was, and then some. A great all arounder that's ready for a long drive or a nice collection!
