A muscle car enthusiast might be drawn to this 1965 Pontiac GTO. In the day, adding the desirable Tempest Le Mans option to a base model for just $295 turned the car into a GTO.
This vehicle started life as a coupe priced at $2,871 (hardtops were slightly more expensive, convertibles even pricier). While the original 389 engine has been swapped out for something different, the classic Capri Gold paint gleams though it’s a later respray, not the original finish.
The GTO is ready to cruise, but it’s not without a few quirks: the radio needs fixing, the turn signal gets stuck, and the paint requires some TLC.
Classic GTO for Sale (GTO)
Packing a serious punch under the hood, this Pontiac GTO isn’t your average muscle car. Originally powered by a 389 V8, it now sports a potent 400 HO engine, promising exhilarating performance.
While the exact horsepower remains a mystery (the previous owner hinted at “outrageous” figures, the current owner estimates over 400), the upgrades speak for themselves.
Edelbrock aluminum heads and valve covers enhance the engine, while a new exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers unleashes a throaty roar.
The rebuilt transmission ensures smooth gear changes to handle the increased power. This enthusiast-owned GTO retains its classic charm with a wood steering wheel and original dash and comes with PHS documentation for authenticity.
While the odometer shows around 50,000 miles, the true mileage is likely higher. Given the modifications, a closer look is recommended in person or through a third-party inspection. Priced at $43,900 and ready to hit the road from Meridian, Idaho, this Pontiac GTO is a powerful driving experience waiting for the next owner.
