First that mint '67 2+2 out of CA, and now this clean '65, right up the road from me, also a CA car. Hope this one STAYS here!!! Where have all of these cars been HIDING???
Love the '65....have not seen one of those with a stick and console in many, many years. Also, the build quality and interior quality of those cars is second to none. VERY upscale. Well done, sir!

I thought it was a 63. The seat covers gave it away, tho the pleats are flat. Looks to me like PUI or Distinctive Designs replacements. The white seats in mine had the rounded pleats on them like the 66 GTO's seats do. Greg, check under the seat bottom to see if there's a tag on the seat cover as to who made them.

Too bad it doesn't have the mirror on the right fender. Mine had it and it was also a remote mirror. The adjustment knob was at the bottom of the dash panel on the driver's side next to the the console.

An original paint 1 owner '67 GTO was recently found in Sacramento. Wish I was that lucky..

Interior looks original to me.

Very cool, persistence pays off! Please don’t drive her too far on those old Kelly Super Chargers! Lol

How about some more pictures!!!!

[GT182]

Maybe they are Jerry, but the pleats, or bolsters , don't look right to me. Mine were original and rounded. These look flat. I had to clean mine to get roofing tar off them from my work pants back then.... 1970. I can still see them today, and remember what a PITA is was to get that black crap off them.

Power steering and power brakes, am radio with a dash mounted switch that controls front and rear speakers, it works to. Overall the chrome, probably stainless trim is good, bumpers excellent. 8 lug wheels need some loving. Eventually I start a thread in the big car section, but for now I'm crawling all over it, crunching numbers, and learning. For instance, how many of you knew of a Pontiac that came with a tranny that had a chevy bow tie cast on it. I didn't.

If you are ever forced to work with all those vacuum hoses controlling the HVAC system I'd like to compare notes.

Many of my hoses have crumbled or fallen off and I don't know where they go.

Yes, I will be happy to. I'll be working on getting the a/c working this winter. The previous owner has all the a/c stuff, he just needs a few weeks to get it together. I'll be in touch

I can find no reason to believe that the seats aren't original. I've stared and compared many online photos of supposedly original interiors and I don't see any diff. Maybe the vinyl after 55+ years is a little fatigued.?? I'll be removing the seats and console over the winter to do a thorough carpet cleaning. If I suspect then, I check into it

yes, most definitely no Kelly's. I'm thinking Redlines, we'll see

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

That color fits it real nice with the 8-Lugs and RWL tires.
Looks tough and heavy duty
Great Car

[61-63]

The prettiest GP IMO followed closely by the '64.

I may be looking at a Dark Blue 63 GP someday soon in western PA.

WHEW, GOT REAL LUCKY TODAY. I was leaving the house today and heard a bang, I had just loaded up the trunk of my daily driver and when I hit the driveway to street bump thats when I heard the bang. I thought something had shifted and maybe settled to the bottom of the truck. When I got home the garage door wouldn't open. The bang was a broken garage door spring. I had been rolling the car part way out of the garage when crawling around under it. I hate to think garage door could have fallen on the hood of the GP. Today was a good day.
