Each year a book that covers the auto & truck industry production, prices, which factories made how many cars, etc. was published called Ward's Automotive Yearbook.
The book provides certain options by percentages. It generally covers the "Tempest" model to include the GTO, but sometimes you will see GTO specific.

I don't have one for 1965, but here is a partial example for 1967 Tempest Models just to get an idea: Auto trans - 76.9%(98.8% full sized), 4-speed - 13.6% (0.5% full sized), V8- 78.5%, 6 Cyl - 21.5%, AC - 27.5%, front disc brakes - 2.4%(1.7% full sized), bucket seats - 56.1%(9.2% full sized), tilt - 1.9%, duel exhaust - 29%(11.8% full sized), limited slip - 16% (9.6% full sized), speed warning speedo - 1.5%(5.2% full sized).
I have another book on Pontiacs which says 18.8% of 1965 Tempest models (includes GTO) had a 4-speed.
