1965 GTO - 389l 336 Horsepower

[Mcon]

Hello,

I am in the process of getting my 1965 GTO on the road.  She is the "luxury" addition with power everything.  I live on the Westcoast of Canada and just had her shipped over here from Ohio.  Matching numbers and a survivor car.  Playing with the idea of saving the original motor by taking it out and putting a small block Chev in her.  Outside looks great but the rust restoration needs to happen from the inside-out.  Seems there was a leak and she sat for years.  Only one paint job in 56 years, ideally I would like to get her back to the original Teal colour.

Would love to chat.  I need to replace the heater core and I heard that its a bitch.  Any tips would be great.

Thats one amazing Goat you got there!

Great find,  nice ride.  Your heater core will probably involve removing the fender and inner fender.  Easiest way in the long run.

Thank you!   Someone was trying to get me to drill a 2 inch hole.  I said that's a hard no.

GLAD to hear you say that!!!  Adds a LIL more time to the job but worth it in the long run.

We just decided to save the engine and do a full rebuild in the winter.  Just looking forward to getting her on the road for a few months for some enjoyment before stripping her.

Welcome. Nice GTO.  Always good to see a Pontiac getting some TLC. Good Luck.
