Sometimes the story of a car is equal to the value of the car and the way its told means everything. Pontiac certainly was not the first automobilemanufacturer to drop a big engine into a mid size car, however, its the way they marketed the GTO that made it what it is today and what it was back then. The marketing was so ingenious that it instilled a feeling of need and speed not only in young Americans but in the Detroit Auto Manufacturers as well. The marketing behind the GTO literally started the muscle car era and ever since its debut in 1964, the GTO has made its mark literally at every traffic light and 1/4 mile race track across America and competed with cars like the 442, Chevelle SS and Plymouth Sport Fury, but by the late 60's, the GTO was a staple in the muscle car craze and competed with EVERY muscle car that dare challenged it.
That's why the GTO is the most sought after muscle car for collectors today. Thanks to Pontiac for the way the car was introduced and debuted in 1964 it will always be remembered as one of the best muscle cars ever produced. This 1965 Pontiac GTO Convertible listed here today has everything you're looking for in a muscle car, yet a few things it doesn't have, makes it an extremely rare find. Not that its a big deal, but this GTO was ordered with NO Reverse lights and 1 speed only wipers with no window washers. Try and replicate that!!! Please read on to find out the condition of this vehicle and make sure to check out all the photos and video at the end. Thank you.
