1965 Pontiac Gto Convertible Phs Documented Factory 389 4 Speed Project Car Rare on 2040-cars
Boca Raton, Florida, United States
|
For your consideration here is a very rare and true 1965 Pontiac Lemans GTO Convertible (PHS Documented) originally equipped with a 389 WT block (4bbl), 4 speed car, original Montero Red with Black Top and Black Interior. This GTO was last registered in the State of New York in 1984. Although, she may be far from her glory days this 1965 GTO Convertible is well worth saving, it will need an extensive restoration from the ground up. The original 389 WT block is long gone and the previous owner placed a later model 400cid Pontiac motor in it. The Muncie transmission is still in the car as well. The original rear axle has been changed out many years ago as well to a 10 bolt. The 400cid motor is not locked up and will run with some maintenance. However, a True 1965 WS code 9778789 389cid/360hp tri-power block is included with the sale of this GTO and is for the most part complete, original Delco Distributor, timing cover, balancer and crank pulley. It will need to be completely rebuilt and gone through as it has not been used for many decades. The WS block passenger cylinder head is marked 093 which would indicate a replacement and the Driver's head is a 77. The Tri-power intake is pretty much complete including Fuel lines with weather head, correct Rochester 2G's and the rare vacuum components, diaphragm, Vacuum slider, check valve and hoses. This too will need to go under a complete restoration. The GTO has most of its trim, and some extras in the trunk. There is rust throughout the GTO on many panels, floorboards, trunk, box braces, firewall and dash areas. The convertible rack is complete and appears to be in decent shape. The frame appears to be solid with no apparent signs of rot or damage. The incorrect bucket seats seen in the photos will be removed and replaced with correct buckets seen below. So, if you're ready to restore one of Pontiacs finest cars produced, here is your opportunity in 2014! I imagine there are hardly any documented 389/4speed 65 GTO's left waiting to be restored this day in age. The sale of this 1965 GTO Convertible will come with a clear Florida Certificate of Title. Should you have any questions regarding the GTO, please do not hesitate to ask. Best of luck to all and Happy Bidding!

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
