In 1965, Pontiac customers overwhelmingly favored the hardtop GTO variant, with 55,722 units sold, overshadowing the convertible and sports coupe versions.
Most sought-after were the four-barrel GTOs, with over 54,800 units sold, followed by the Tri-Power models, which exceeded 20,500 units. This 1965 GTO featured in the photos boasts a rare Iris Mist finish, unique to that model year.
While it’s unclear if the paint is original or has been reapplied, the GTO presents well, albeit with signs of wear and tear, as noted by the seller. Under the hood lies the revered 389 Tri-Power engine, though not matching, paired with a Muncie 4-speed transmission.
Several aftermarket upgrades, including a Vintage Air system, enhance the driving experience. Despite its age, the GTO’s original floors and solid body promise a trouble-free ownership experience. Priced at $77,500, it offers a rare combination of unique finish and performance, appealing to collectors and enthusiasts alike.
