We are re-listing the car with a buy it now price that is more then fair and has been suggested to us by potential buyers.

The relist is due to a buyer who was unable to financially complete the deal, ut now finds himself with less money then when he started this process. So with all the warnings and suggestions out of the way, lease read on...
Let the Tiger loose when you prowl the streets in this beautifully refinished GTO. This 1965 GTO is in excellent restored/driver condition and has been completely refinished so it needs nothing except to be driven and given a good home. I purchased the car in a semi restored, ostly original state in 2009. It had mostly original interior that was serviceable but not restored. The car had its original 389 cid tri-power motor still installed and had been rebuilt shortly before the purchase. The car came with a non-original 4 speed transmission. Originally an Iris Mist, door hardtop, he car was refinished in a beautiful shade of Mayfair Maize. The repaint was professionally done and looks as good as if it were the original color. All trim was removed and even the tough spots were painted (jambs, nder hood, runk lid). All the original trim and bumpers are in excellent condition. This is an original California built car (Fremont, a) and as such the body is in excellent condition with no rust on the body or the floor pans. The trunk is also rust free and in stock condition. After having the car for a year, e decided to take the car to another level and refinish the interior, etail and refresh the motor and upgrade the transmission and brakes and suspension. Since the car was originally a 4 speed with drum brakes all around, he change to an automatic and power disc brakes were the biggest changes. The following paragraphs will hi-lite the changes and the current condition of this car which is now show winning quality. Body: As stated earlier, HS documents show the car was originally Iris Mist and was changed to Mayfair Maize. During the upgrade, ome small paint imperfections were repaired when the glass was out of the car. The car received new lenses on all the factory lights. All the stainless trim was removed and professionally refinished. All of the factory trim was repainted where necessary and a new windshield was installed. The biggest change to the body was done to the hood scoop. Since ’65 GTO’s have a solid metal hood scoop, his one was removed from the car and CNC cut out so that the motor could breathe fresh air into the tri-power air cleaner pan which was added Interior: The interior of the car received the biggest change, s it was completely redone. All NEW carpet, eadliner, oor panels with pulls, eat upholstery front and rear with new foam. The dash was freshly painted with new trim panels and the gauge panel itself was re-chromed by MR G. vacuum plating. Anyone who knows Pontiacs knows that Pete Serio at Precision Pontiac builds the best gauges, o the stock panel with “idiot” lights was replaced with a fully restored rally Gauge panel at the cost of $1400.00 alone. The other big change was the driver’s seat. After a long exhaustive search, e located an original 1965 Pontiac Power driver’s seat. That seat was completely rebuilt and recovered and then installed with a factory style seat harness. I’ve been told that the seat alone could be worth $2000 because it’s so rare. The trunk was also completely refinished with all new mats and tire cover. Motor: The motor on the car had been rebuilt shortly before my purchase of the car, o it didn’t require anything but a little freshening up. The biggest issues were the tri-power carbs. Since this was the original set, hey hadn’t been rebuilt in years. The carbs were shipped to the best in the business ‘Sparkys Carbs” for a full rebuild and detail along with all the necessary linkage pieces to make everything function properly. The motor was given all new gaskets’ as well as a new ignition system. We installed a new aluminum radiator with overflow and shroud. The motor got new HOOKER jet hot coated headers and exhaust system. The tri-power pan sealed to the hood is a great addition along with the custom cut hood scoop. Everything was detailed and shows amazingly well and runs fantastically. Transmission: The most modern change to the car was the addition of a Keisler Computer controlled automatic overdrive transmission. This transmission has the controller mounted in the glove box and allows for a multitude of setups from soft to firm. We also installed a beautiful Lokar shifter that looks like a four speed and has a digital gear display mounted on the side of it. Everything was installed on top of a new flex plate with all new hardware. Suspension and Brakes: Since the GTO was originally all manual drum brakes, t was a big upgrade to front Discs and power booster. Everything was redone as well as all new suspension pieces in the front end. We also installed a tilt Column with custom steering wheel. The car has new Cragar SS wheels and excellent tires as well As you can tell from these short paragraphs, lot was done to the car in an effort to bring it to a level where a discriminating owner can enjoy and show the car and be extremely proud of it. The cost of just the work done to the car after I purchased it was over $23000. This is your chance to own an awesome classic that needs nothing.
