This is a beautiful GTO that has been restored, low miles and in great mechanical condition. It will be a great all-around muscle car with plenty of horsepower!

THE ESSENTIALS

This 1965 Pontiac GTO Convertible is a beautiful restored, well-documented example that is in excellent mechanical condition with only 32,000 miles! The GTO is in excellent condition finished in Burgundy Red Poly over a Parchment interior with a white power-retractable top. The engine is the desirable original 389ci V-8 with Tri-Power paired to the four-speed manual synchromesh transmission. The GTO underwent a frame-off restoration to factory specifications and is in excellent overall condition. This GTO is ready to wow at any local car show and is a collector’s gem based on its low mileage, excellent overall condition and documentation! 

The GTO was assembled at the Fremont, California plant in December 1965 and was originally sold in Placerville, California. This GTO was one of 11,311 GTO convertibles produced for the model year. This GTO was built with the 389ci “WT Code” V8, optioned with the four speed fully synchronized transmission, dual exhausts, deluxe wheel discs, special 7 blade fan and fan clutch, chrome air cleaner covers, chrome rocker arm covers, and the Safe-T-Track rear axle. Additional options include windshield washer & dual speed wipers, visor vanity, inside tilt mirror, outside remote control mirror, door edge guards, soft ray windshield, and back up lamps. A comprehensive frame-off restoration was completed in 2001 to original specifications, including a rebuilt engine and gearbox that had additional transmission and clutch refurbishment in 2006. The current owner purchased the GTO in 2007 adding about 7,000 miles and meticulously maintained the GTO. The Pontiac is accompanied by the original ownership manual, window sticker, history card, maintenance records, and a spare tire. 

The Pontiac wears Burgundy Red Poly paint (code N) with good gloss and depth, presenting in great overall condition with only minimal areas of wear from normal use. Signature stacked headlights and the split recessed grille are in very good condition, reinforcing the model’s instantly recognizable front-end design. The white convertible top operates via power retraction and presents in great condition, complementing the single hood intake and wraparound taillights, which function as intended. The overall exterior presentation reflects careful stewardship and restoration quality that enhances long-term value. 

The Pontiac features Parchment front bucket seats and a rear bench in excellent condition, paired with black carpet and black rubber floor mats that are in excellent condition. The wood veneer dash and a period-correct Pontiac AM radio. The Pontiac is equipped with a power-adjustable driver’s seat, deluxe steering wheel, center console, dual horns, and fully functioning fan, heater, and courtesy lighting. The cohesive interior presentation supports the Pontiac’s dual appeal for show presentation and enjoyable open-air touring. 

The Pontiac is powered by a WT-code 389 cu in V-8 engine with the coveted Tri-Power induction, rated at approximately 335 horsepower. The engine serial number is 633211 with WT stamped on the front of the block and the casting number shows correctly as 9778789. Power is delivered through a four-speed manual synchromesh transmission with Hurst shifter. This GTO has a Flowmaster dual exhaust and an Edelbrock manifold with chrome valve covers and air cleaners. The GTO has its original 3:23 Safe-T-Track limited-slip differential, and the GTO has Delco Moraine self-adjusting drum brakes for all four wheels. The tires are Hercules MRX IV 215/75R14. February 2026 inspection confirms the Pontiac remains in great mechanical order. The restoration work and subsequent servicing position the Pontiac as a strong-driving example that balances authenticity with usability.

Interesting Fact: The Pontiac GTO was produced in two different periods of time. The first production cycle was from 1964 to 1974, but the second cycle took place between 2004 and 2006. The first generation of the Pontiac GTO was the first muscle car to be produced in the 1960s and 1970s and is credited with starting the trend of offering many competing models. This vehicle was selected as the Motor Trend Car of the Year in 1968 and the first models use a 6.4 to 6.6-liter Pontiac V8 engine which could produce up to 325 horsepower. When the Pontiac GTO went through its second stage of production, it appeared dated to people in the United States since it was originally designed in 2001. Additionally, the price inflated to about $34,000 at the time of its launch which helped to garner a lukewarm acceptance for the car. Earlier models of the Pontiac GTO are far more sought after than later models, but both prove to be powerful cars happily driven by many!
