1 Owner 40k miles 65 GTO on eBay
Original paint and garage kept pampered.
Link to eBay Auction = https://www.ebay.com/itm/1965-Pontia...0AAOSwQVRebXwU It is definitely a Very Very Nice Car but ,,, Has had TriPower upgrade. Looks like 67 Shifter upgrade too, so possibly a 3 speed Auto conversion. No mention of original take-offs being in hand. Rear Defog switch MIA - maybe the option was never installed when the car was built. But its charged on the window sticker. No Posi or Power Brakes ordered is a little bit odd when looking at the list of neat things he did order on the car. The listing makes it sound like it might have a single muffler exhaust system installed. Don't see any tailpipe(s) though. I would bet the ol man kept anything he took off , but its likely all been disposed of by now. It even had chrome splitters at one time. |

Defog switch is there. On the dash on the left side of the steering column for 64-65.

Been watching this one.
The defogger is present. It shows at the rear package tray and the switch is below the wiper switch. Ashtray has been used, maybe for change as the seller says no evidence of smoking. The black paint is worn off badly at the bottom edge. Has an alarm hole in the driver door, plus other various holes throughout for the wiring. Must be the alarm horn hiding behind the metal shield fastened to RH inner fender. Looks like the dealer added the outside mirror and undercoat. No seat belts - credit $11.00

Rear tail panel and taillight stripped of black paint.
Valve covers are on backwards. Those are some funky tires. VIN 237375B118121 = Baltimore built car.

Couldn't see the package tray , and was looking for the switch to be on the gauge bezel with the others. woops Noticed a detent switch on pass side of radiator support - must have been a hood alarm trigger switch since you spotted an alarm system. Hope a PY member gets it. Really appears to be in super nice condition. |

If the daughter were selling it now, I'd say calling it "one owner" is fair.
But seeing as how a flipper has it, isn't "three owner" more accurate? |

Does anyone have the ability to capture a defined photo of the aluminum “data plate” on this GTO?
I’ve asked the seller a couple of questions including the above, but no response. Also curious about rust on the trunk floor, still no response. Chris.

SURPRISE
I bet the old boy got a surprise when he first drove that car with metallics and no power brakes. You have to really stomp on the pedal when the linings and drums are cold. How about not wanting seat belts as well.

I talked to the daughter's husband when the car was for sale on CL and did attempt to start the car, without success.

And how long ago was that ? The ol man probably has some secret squirrel non-start prevention on the car. He seemed pretty serious about anti-theft to have even enclosed the siren so it couldn't be disabled quickly. Bet it purrs like a kitten though |

James Bond 007 hidden start button.
Could be a secret start switch somewhere.
Or possibly a cam gear, timing chain issue that prevents it from starting? I’ve never been able to find a reliable GM statement of when they used the nylon coating on the aluminum cam gear teeth. I’m certain they used this style in 66-67 and beyond. I’m not sure about 64-65? Chris

It was at 22k when i posted thread yesterday.
Now at 30k with 6 days left . Probably will go up higher than i would have guessed . Quote:

That’s a good one! You may have solved the kill switch location. BTW, it seems they may have applied the “undercoat” on the inside of the trunk. LOL.

Wrong again and you would lose any bet on that.
But then, you still believe automatic GTO shifters had white buttons, not chrome. |

He owns that low mile - previous 1 owner , yellow 65 GTO
- it was raised in Jersey by a lady I wouldn't bet against THAT vehicle , BUT in general , Jersey is not known for being nice to cars , or hardly anything nice. Archie Bunker stereotype deal always exceptions on stereotypes |

Wrong again Chief, its true, we are not salt free, far from it, especially lately.
So...where's the Rez Chief? BTW, sorry for missing it but don't see any trunk pix on the ebay listing? Where are they listed?
