For Sale- 1965 Pontiac GTO, 389 Tri-Power, 4 Speed Transmission, Limited Slip rear end.


The Good-

Engine runs good, no smoke.

Original Pontiac Tri-Power (works well).

4 Speed Manual w/console.

Good floors/trunk.

Rebuilt rear end w/3:55 gears.

New Heater Core.

Have Rally wheels with near new red line tires (needs a couple beauty rings).

Not seeing any real evidence of collision damage.

Drives out nice and is fun to drive.

19,700 on odometer, might have been reset at the time of restoration??


The Bad-

Was born 389 4bbl, automatic.

Original rear gears were 3:23.

Heard some lifter noise when the engine was cold yesterday, went away as it warmed up.

Needs a couple beauty rings for the rally rims.

Shifter is not original Pontiac, real tight shift pattern.

Summary-

Overall a nice driver quality GTO that can win awards at smaller car shows. Would need fresh paint to really compete at the large shows in my opinion. Car really needs nothing to enjoy and drive right now.


Looking at the GTO market, this is not a $60,000- $80,000 car, but is much better than a $20,000 car. Looks like most GTO's in this general condition are asking in the 30-35-40-45K range depending on the car. Asking price is $34500.00...............................
Clear title in hand. I'm sure I have missed some of the good as well as some of the bad, so please ask questions, additional pictures are available upon request.
Now for the legal part, car does not leave until funds have cleared my bank, no exceptions. Buyer responsible for pickup of car, but will assist as best as possible. Please bid only if you are serious about purchasing the GTO.
