## 1965 GTO Survivor Overview This 1965 GTO Survivor, hailing from Hamstead, New York, boasts an impressive 46,000 original miles. It features a factory four-speed tri-power setup, a 390 gear, and an M21 close-ratio transmission, along with metallic brakes and quick ratio manual steering. The car is a remarkable example of a well-preserved survivor, showcasing the care taken by its previous owner. The GTO's paint code is K, indicating a rare reef turquoise color that is seldom seen in original paint. The finish shows some dullness typical of lacquer but remains free of checking and road rash, suggesting it was not daily driven. Notably, this car was manufactured at the Baltimore plant, which contributes to its unique features compared to GTOs built in other locations. ### Unique Features and Condition The car's chrome, headlight bezels, grills, and bumpers are all in excellent condition, further emphasizing its well-maintained status. The pinstripe, applied with a roller, is lower than on GTOs from other plants, showcasing the differences in production techniques. Under the hood, the engine has been repainted, but the original components remain intact, including the 704 alternator. Interestingly, this GTO is one of the latest produced in 1965, built in the third week of July. It features a rare original black headliner, which was typically blue slate in earlier models. The interior is equally impressive, with original upholstery and carpeting that highlight the car's low mileage. The dash and steering wheel are in pristine condition, showcasing the quality of the original materials. ### Restorations and Modifications Some modifications were made by the original owner, including the addition of aftermarket gauges and a tack on the column. However, these have been removed to restore the car to its original factory appearance. The installation of factory gauges is believed to enhance the car's value rather than diminish it. The GTO is equipped with several notable options, including quick ratio steering and ride and handling features that improve its performance. The addition of Rally One wheels and exhaust splitters enhances its classic aesthetic while maintaining authenticity. The original exhaust system was replaced with a correct reproduction, ensuring the car's performance aligns with its historical specifications. ### Documentation and Value A key highlight of this GTO is the presence of the protect plate, which serves as a warranty book detailing maintenance requirements and linking the engine to the vehicle. This documentation significantly increases the car's value, confirming its originality and the authenticity of its components. Overall, this 1965 GTO Survivor stands out as an exceptional example of Pontiac's engineering and design. With its stunning paint, original features, and thorough preservation efforts, it represents a piece of automotive history that continues to deliver both performance and nostalgia.
