The exemplary 1965 GTO offered here is one of only 11,311 Pontiac GTOs that came as convertibles, just 15% of production in 1965. How many came with the ultimate 389-ci, 360-hp Tri-Power V8 and four-speed manual transmission is unknown, but it is certainly relatively few.
This example’s other equipment includes a console, wood-grained steering wheel, and Rallye II wheels with wide oval F70-14 Firestone Super Sport Redline tires that make it even more unusual and visually distinctive.
Finished in Montero Red with black interior, this Pontiac GTO is a visual statement that backs up its appearance with performance. The owner describes it as an original, unrestored car that he has owned for the past two decades.
