Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Chicago is proud to present this clean 1965 Pontiac GTO. Packing a healthy 350 cubic inch Chevy V8 paired to a 4-speed manual, this GTO is not for the purist! The paint job is a bit older, but it still shines in the sun. The burgundy interior was modified with later bucket seats, and the windows were custom etched with roses. This GTO is very solid, and in great mechanical shape. The thumping V8 under the hood is eager to run. Turn the ignition and hear the 5.7l iron block roar to life. The clutch grabs hard, but without heavy pedal effort. The suspension is tight, and doesn't have any odd clunks, rattles, or pops. The steering holds center without and drifts or pulls. This GTO is dialed in well, and loves to cruise. Take a seat behind the wooden steering wheel, and enjoy the ride!
