This is my 1965 Pontiac GTO hardtop. riginal 23737 car with PHS documents. Originally and still teal turquoise with black bucket seat interior. Originally 389-4V. speed M20 wide ratio. . 23 Posi. Now has a rebuilt 1970 455 (YH) engine(bored . 030 over to 462 C. I. )with a 1965 tripower setup. riginal 4 speed M20 wide ratio trans. and a 3. 55 positraction rear differential from a 1969 GTO Judge. I have owned this car since 1978. I bought it with a blown rearend. nd installed  the 1969 rearend. It also had a non original 400 engine that was getting tired after a couple of years so instead of rebuilding that engine I bought a 1970 455 and rebuilt that. Cleaned up the cylinders with a . 030 overbore and installed new forged pistons. Crankshaft reground. Installed rebuilt1968 #16 large valve cylinder heads. rane cam with 450/465 lift and 288/300 duration and a 1965 tripower setup. Also installed HD oil pump. ronze dist. gear. ull windage tray and crankshaft scraperI still have the machine shop receipts from 1981. Also installed recored Harrison 4 row radiator. ooker headers. ays clutch. a scattershield and a driveshaft loop as I intended to go drag racing. Only went a couple of times before CT. Dragway closed though with a best time of 13. 8 (amateur driver with street tires). Engine has only about 10. 00 miles. Low option car with the only 5 options being:4 speed trans. . afe-T-Trac diff. . ushbutton AM radio(works). everb and rally gauge cluster with tachometer. (tach is not accurate-reads about 400 RPM higher. All other gauges work. Other things I added were Rally I wheels (with like new vintage 225/70/14 front and H78-14 rear tires. a larger front sway bar and 1970 GTO rear sway bar and boxed control arms and a sport wood steering wheel-the rim is cracked. put a leather cover on. Drive as is or restore. oes need bodywork and paint. I did some amateur body work on the driver side 1/4 panel years ago and primered it and it's in need of repairing or replacing as does the passenger side. I also patched the trunk floor in 2 areas. he rest is solid. Needs main floor pan and braces. Frame is solid. ust surface rust. Other rust areas are the panel at bottom of windshield (water leaks on front floor). ower fender corners. eft fender upper inside (with hood open)bottoms of doors. ainly the lower rear corners. Bumpers need rechroming. eeds carpet. eadliner. eatherstripping. Seats and door panels are in good condition (driver's seat has small split starting). Have new  replacement woodgrain piece for dash. Recent new parts are:4 wheel cylinders. ront brake shoes and rear brake flex hose. aster cylinder rebuilt. uel pump. uel tank sending unit. il and temp. sending units. runk weatherstripping. Additional parts included are heater box (inner and outer with heater core)-original rusted thru at bottom from seeping heater core. et of headers-Hookers have leaks at collectors. atched to make better but still leaking. ew trunk mat. ash woodgrain piece. lower inner 1/4 panel patch panels. gas tank supports and straps. Car runs like a bear but carburetors probably could use rebuilding. ometimes stalls at idle. I don't have a title to the car-never got one when I bought the car-it wasn't required for a car over 10 years old in Ct. and I never registered it. sed a repair plate when I drove it.
