65 GTO 'One of None'
Regretfully the time has come for me to part with my 65 GTO. PHS documented Tri Power with Automatic on the column (upgraded to TH 350). Original YR 389 Engine w/ 77 heads. 3.55 Safety Trac, Rally Gauges, Wood Wheel. NO PS or PB. Sold new by Trotter Pontiac in Chattanooga, TN. Frame off restored about 10 years ago that has been freshened twice since. The build was documented on two threads here:
http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=551411 And: http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=731401 The car now is running the dual carb setup with a 'one of one' ram air pan to duplicate the setup that was described in the article in Paul Zazzarine's book. It's built to be as you 'could' have ordered a car if Pontiac had went through with their original intended dual quad ram air option for 65. I can hardly get in and our of the car now due to my health problems with my legs and feet. It has scored Silver Certificates in Concours judging twice at the GTOAA Nats and was chosen the 'Favorite 65 GTO' at the 2015 GTOAA Nats. I have no desire to continue to haul it around and show it as I have to have help to do that. Pricing: I don't know of any comparable cars that have sold, BUT the asking prices for comparable cars start in the 50's and go up; sometimes way up. The cars that I see priced less always have problems; usually they don't have the original engine. This one does. Some have questionable restorations and other problems. I'm asking $45,000 and that includes the correct 65 tri power set up, plus all the 'day two' accessories from the first build. (cheater slicks and steelies, Radirs and M/T front tires, M/T valve covers, front drag shocks, and other bits and accessories). If you have any interest, shoot me a pm and let's talk! Please view my photobucket account for over 150 pics of this car: http://s617.photobucket.com/user/two...?sort=3&page=1

Sorry to hear of your misfortune. I parked next to you years ago at Norwalk when the car was in day 2 configuration and was overwhelmed by it then. Best wishes.

Very nice car. Looks great. I like the 65 as my # 2 pick of cars wanted. Had most all but never had a 65. I almost bought one a long time ago but lost it after I helped the guy get it out of the yard it was in. He sold it out from under me to someone who offered him $ 25.00 more for it but never asked me to match the price. I haven't talked to him since.

Bump. If there is anyone who has any interest please let me know within the next couple of days. Looks like I'll take it to the Mecum auction in Kissimmee and their deadline is next week to get in their brochure.

Good luck Jerry, think I'm going to do a little fluffing and hope for a better market in the spring. Prospects of an improved economy are looking up!

Thanks Greg. As much as I love these old cars, especially Pontiacs, it looks like this will be my last. I can't work on them anymore, I can hardly get in and out of them anymore, and I just don't have the energy anymore. I still love the people, and the cars, and it's gonna be hard to be without one.

Glws. Jerry. I think you should do well. You have a great car, that will stand out at the auction. Alot of cars look good on TV, but not so good in person.Alot of them tossed together strictly for these venues. See you there, as we are running our Black whirlwind tribute also.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
