1965 Pontiac GTO

Pontiac Historical documented, factory born Iris Mist GTO! It's been body off frame restored, I'm very impressed with this one. Fit, finish and function are excellent. There's a lot more than meets the eye with this sleeper! EXTERIOR: Let's address the color first because everyone that sees the car asks: ''is that a factory color?'' Yes, it is called Iris Mist. It's a one year only color and this one was born this way proven by the PHS documents and the original cowl tag. The body is meant I believe this to be a rust free car It's laser straight even those flat quarter panels Everything fits square, the doors shut nicely. The paint is laid out evenly and polished to a glass finish. Up front the stacked headlights have new chrome bezels, the bumper was rechromed and the grills are in very good shape. The stainless trim is polished and straight. The emblems have been replaced; the rear bumper is rechromed. I've always loved that sleek taillight and tail panel combination. It has good original glass with a new windshield. Weatherstrips and seals were replaced. The 15 inch rims are painted body color with a mint set of poverty hubcaps. It is wearing some new Cooper tires, extra fat in back. INTERIOR: Completely restored floor to ceiling. Reproduction upholstery and door panels, the armrests, handles and cranks were replaced. Down on the floor the carpet was replaced, it has deluxe pedal trim and a factory console in very good shape with a new Hurst shifter sticking out of it. It also has optional seat belts in front. You'll be looking at a new deluxe wheel and a restored dash with a new optional dash pad, Rallye gauges including a tachometer. The original radio is in place, glovebox liner is new, and it has a grab handle that the passenger will be hanging on to when that throttle is punched! The headliner was replaced and it has a working dome light. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It may look stock but that's a Butler built 467 making 500 HP! The Edelbrock intake is camouflaged in Pontiac blue, it also has a dual feed Holley carb, HEI ignition and a set of headers. It has power steering and the brake master cylinder has been upgraded with a dual reservoir. The radiator, although painted black, is an upgraded aluminum unit. Everything in here is so neat and proper. The components look fresh, all the metal surfaces are painted smooth, the chrome on the engine is sparkling. The battery is secured, washers are hooked up, wires are run neatly. TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted smooth Iris Mist. Inside is rock solid with neatly applied spatter finish and a two piece reproduction mat. A matching cover is over the spare, it comes with a jack and lug wrench. UNDERSIDE: It has been body off the frame restored. It is extremely clean under this car and has some nice performance upgrades. The front end steering and suspension was completely rebuilt, upgraded with a Hotchkis sway bar and Bilstein gas shocks. In back it has a complete Hotchkis Sport Suspension kit which includes tubular control arms, a swaybar and Bilstein gas shocks. It has a custom exhaust; oh this car sounds sweet! Fat pipes have an x-pipe in the middle, Hooker mufflers and factory splitter tips. The brake system has been completely redone, upgraded to disc in the front and the e-brake is hooked up. The fuel system was replaced including the tank. Looking up at the motor it is spotless Pontiac blue and has a high torque starter. A heavy duty scatter shield connects to the upgraded Tremec 5-speed transmission and a rebuilt driveshaft leads back to a 12 bolt posi rear end. The metal under this car is pristine! The frame, chassis parts, and the floors are as smooth as a chalkboard. It is completely rust free and neatly painted a semi-gloss black. SERVICE: We closely inspect each of our cars and on this GTO we replaced the headlamp, fixed the horn, lubed the speedometer cable, replaced the blower motor and the brake light switch, installed door bumpers,
