1965 Pontiac GTO Street/ Strip ...455 dual quads!

Pontiac GTO 1965 Description

Here we have a 1965 Pontiac GTO for sale. This way cool street/strip cruiser is built to go fast but still has enough street manners to drive it to shows and go cruising! This car is a blast to drive on the street and sounds nasty! The car has been 11. 40's in the quarter mile in drag race trim(open headers. and slicks) and 11. 60's in full street trim. That's through the full exhaust. out the tailpipes. with street tires! I know there is more left in it with more testing and tuning. The GTO was raced briefly in the NMCA Nostalgic Super Stock class. It still has all the legal NHRA equipment to run in that class or other classes all the way down to 10. 00 in the1/4 mile. There is probably less than two dozen runs on the drive train. I personally raced the car a few months ago and it ran 11. 60's flawlessly in street trim on a humid ( around 2500' altitude) day. I figure the engine makes around 550 HP at the crank! This GTO has been a hot rod for along time. The floors. frame and trunk are solid and original except for where they have been modified for the roll bar and fuel cell. The body is nice with some defects like chips. scratches and a few small imperfections on the passenger side lower door. quarter. and driver front fender( shown in pictures). The base/clear paint would be described as a ten footer. The paint looks good. and has decent shine. but has some blotches and thin spots on the lower part or the doors. It has a cool nostalgic patina look to it! The stock GM front and rear bumper have been re chromed. The hood is a LeMans flat hood that has been modified with a scoop to fit the dual carbs. All of the hood bracing and stock hinges have been removed for weight savings. It still lifts up. but requires a prop rod that is kept under the hood. The interior is good with very nice carpet. door panels and headliner. The factory front bucket seat are decent with some flaws and one split seem on the drivers seat. The dash is nice . but has been modified with no heater controls. and radio delete plate. The back seat area has been carpeted because of the roll bar installation. All the street equipment needed such as lights. turn signals. hazards. wipers. speedometer. etc work! I will try and give all the details on the drive train the best I can. So. here goes.
