Description:
1965 GTO Hardtop. PHS Documented! This car is drop-dead gorgeous. Don't let this one get away. The prices on these original muscle cars just keep going up and up. Ready for the next car show or to cruise down the boulevard. The car is basically stock. When we enter car shows, the car is in Stock Class and muscle car. New body mounts and rubber, new gas tank and lines, new fuel pump, new sending unit, brake lines, new upper and lower ball joints, new tie rod ends, new shocks front and rear, and front springs, detailed beautifully underneath. Rebuilt engine in September 2004 at 54,660 miles and Pertronix solid state ignition system was installed at the same time. The rear end has 3.55 positrac. The color is a 1988 Honda Cardinal Red Metallic. The rear window has a few scratches, but we do have a replacement rear window. Trunk rubber, hood rubber, window rubbers and door rubbers all replaced. Frame-off restoration in 2005 - everything underneath is very clean and new-looking. Seat upholstery (parchment) is in wonderful condition - no rips, tears, gouges, scratches. Headliner is also in wonderful condition - clean and blemish-free.
