This car is a pre-production mule that was then used to fill a special order for the Chicago Pontiac Zone Office and then displayed at the Fall 1965 Detroit New Car Auto Show. Next it was sold to a female school teacher who had fallen in love with the color. She brought it back to the service department the next day - complaining that the car was noisy. Their response? Sorry Mam - but you bought a GTO. She drove it sparingly - then willed it to her nephew who left it in the garage covered. When muscle car values started to rise - the nephew sold it to a collector who did a complete body off restoration. This car is featured in Thomas DeMauro's book "Collector's Originality Guide GTO's 1964-1974". Today, with just 33K miles, it still wears it's original vinyl top.
