Default Walnut wood insert for the dash bezel, 1965 GTOs.

From all that I have read and books I own, also the 100s of GTOs I've seen over the years the walnut applique for the dash bezel was included as part of the GTO option in 1965.

In 1965 GM; on the GTO option cars, used 2 different kinds of walnut (real wood) and a manufactured; pressboard imitation wood-like material. Either type of wood was then contact cemented onto a die-cut aluminum backer. Then the backer was cemented into the dash bezel
