1965 Pontiac GTO RestoMod
Frame-Off Restoration
Up for sale is a gorgeous 1965 GTO that has undergone a complete restoration.This GTO is arguably one of the nicest RestoMod examples on the market today. This GTO boasts stunning red paint, black interior, an aluminum headed fuel injected 400 cubic inch motor estimated at 425-450hp, Tremec 5 speed manual transmission, Vintage Air Conditioning, QA1 coilover suspension and brand new Year One 17" Rally wheels. During the restoration every part of this car was refurbished or replaced. Since then it has been an open road performer that participated in the 2018 Hot Rod Power Tour logging over 1500 miles in just 7 days. This car is beautiful enough to be right at home inside any car show or out on a long road trip purring along in 5th gear at 2000 RPM with the ice cold ac blowing. Everything on this car works as it should, all gauges, interior and exterior lights, horn, wipers, locks etc... Please look at the market and I'm confident you won't find another GTO this nice for close to this price. If you want a numbers matching untouched all original car, then this is not the one for you.
