1965 Pontiac Lemans – GTO Tribute

History

The Pontiac Le Mans was a model name applied to compact and intermediate-sized automobiles marketed by the Pontiac division of General Motors from 1962 to 1981.

The Tempest line was upsized to an intermediate-sized car on the new GM A platform in 1964, and the Le Mans returned to its role of Tempest trim upgrade with a new 215 CID six-cylinder and a redesigned 326 CID V8. Shortly after the start of the 1964 model year, the Le Mans became available with a new performance package designated as the GTO, or 'Gran Turismo Omologato'. The GTO option was priced at just under US$300 and included a larger 389 CID V8 from the full-sized Pontiac line that put out 325 or 348 Tri- Power and for 1965 the numbers would be 335HP 4bbl and 360 Hp Tri power hp, a four-speed floor shift Muncie manual transmission with Hurst shifter, heavy-duty suspension, red-line Tiger Paw tires, and GTO nameplates. GTO sales ended up at 32,000 for the first year, well beyond initial estimates of 5,000 units and accounted for a large share of Tempest/Le Mans sales. The success and the image of the GTO also helped increase the image and sales of all the Pontiac line.

VIN 237275Z119042

The previous owner of this beautiful GTO Tribute owned the car for 8 years. He bought the car one year after it was restored. This Lemans was from California and has many upgrades, which make for a smooth and well handling ride.

If you are interested in this car, or any of our other 125+ cars, don’t wait for the auction to end on eBay. Call us immediately! You may lose out if you wait! Remember, our showroom is open to the public. When a walk-in customer puts a deposit on a car we reserve the right to close the eBay listing before the auction ends. If you think this car is “The One”, we can end the auction by adding a “But It Now” to the auction for the reserve price. If an auction ends and the bids do not meet the reserve price, we will continue to relist it until it sells. Do not hesitate to contact Tom 7 days a week!

We take over 100 photographs of the car, as well as a high definition video, so you know exactly what to expect. We encourage you to hire an independent inspector to check out the car, prior to purchase or bidding. We have a hoist available for views of the undercarriage, and our mechanics are available to speak with if you have any questions.
