1965 Pontiac GTO

Frame-Off Restored GTO Convertible Restomod 6.0L LS2 V8 T56 6-Speed Manual A/C /// When the Pontiac GTO hit the market in 1964, it ignited the muscle car era, and the updated 1965 version with its stacked headlights and stronger presence remains one of the most admired designs of the period. This Nightwatch Blue convertible began as a 389 four-speed car and has since undergone a complete frame-off restoration by B-Mac's Auto Restoration in Raleigh, North Carolina. The finish stays true to its roots with a deep metallic blue that shifts toward black in certain light, accented by a white pinstripe, a power-operated white convertible top, restored chrome and interior trim by Advanced Plating in Nashville, and original-style details such as GTO quarter emblems and 6.5 Litre fender badges. Rallye I wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial T/As complete the period-correct look. Power comes from a 6.0L LS2 V8 upgraded with AFR heads, a short ram intake, and Hedman long-tube headers. A Tremec T56 six-speed manual sends power to a 3.55-geared limited-slip rear, while a fully prepared chassis with adjustable Ridetech coilovers, tubular control arms, a 4-link rear suspension, beefy sway bars, power steering, and four-wheel disc brakes delivers confident handling. The interior maintains a factory look with fresh Parchment upholstery, black carpet, Dakota Digital gauges in the stock locations, a simulated woodgrain steering wheel, Vintage Air climate control, and subtle modern touches such as a six-speed shift pattern on the white cue ball shifter. Well documented with its original title copy, window sticker, build receipts, and more, this GTO offers the style and presence of a true 1965 muscle car along with the performance, comfort, and reliability of a modern build.
