THE PONTIAC GTO, MORE FORMALLY KNOWN AS THE  GRAN TURISMO OMOLOGATO, WAS THE BRAIN CHILD OF SOME VERY TALENTED ENGINEERS AT PONTIAC THAT INCLUDED RUSSELL GEE, BILL COLLINS AND OF COURSE, JOHN DELOREAN.  THESE YOUNG VISIONARIES WERE FORCED TO COME UP WITH A NEW ANGLE WHEN GM ISSUED THE MANDATE THAT STOPPED FACTORY SPONSERED RACING.

THEY DECIDED TO FOCUS THEIR ATTENTION ON STREET PERFORMANCE.  WITH THAT THOUGHT IN MIND, THE MUSCLE CAR ERA WAS BORN AND MANY CONSIDER THE  FIRST MUSCLE CAR TO BE THE PONTIAC GTO AND JOHN DELOREAN TO BE THE PROUD FATHER OF AN ERA.

 
THIS PARTICULAR EXAMPLE IS A REAL, NUMBERS MATCHING, 1965 389/335 HP, 4 SPEED GTO. THIS IS NOT A LeMans CLONE.  ORIGINALLY A 4 BARREL CAR IT HAS BEEN NICELY UPGRADED TO A 3 X2 TO GIVE YOU THE MOST DESIRABLE COMBO FOR THAT YEAR. 

(PLEASE SEE THE DOCUMENTATION PROVIDED BY PONTIAC HISTORICAL SERVICES WHICH AUTHENTICATES THIS GREAT GTO.)

 
THE CORRECT FONTAINE BLUE PAINT IS IN GREAT SHAPE WITH ONLY A FEW MINOR IMPERFECTIONS.  THE SHEET METAL IS IN GREAT SHAPE WITH NO RUST THAT WE CAN FIND.  THE BODY IS STRAIGHT AND ALL THE GAPS APPEAR TO BE EVEN.  THERE IS SOME MINOR PITTING IN ALL THE ORIGINAL CHROME.

THE UPHOLSTERY APPEARS TO BE ORIGINAL AND IS IN GOOD SHAPE WITH EVIDENCE OF SOME MINOR WEAR.  THE DASH IS IN NEED OF SOME TLC BUT SOME OF THESE ISSUES ARE CURRENTLY BEING ADDRESSED.

MECHANICALLY, THE 389, WT CODE, 335 HP ENGINE RUNS VERY STRONG AND TRACKS STRAIGHT AND HANDLES WITH THAT GREAT TRUE PONTIAC FEEL. THE MUNCIE 4 SPEED SHIFTS SMOOTHLY FOR MAXIMUM FUN.

 
A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC MUSCLE CARS EVER BUILT. THIS NUMBERS MATCHING,  REAL GTO MAKES A GREAT INVESTMENT THAT IS SMART TO OWN AND FUN TO DRIVE!
