GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this exceptional 1965 Pontiac Tempest GTO tribute. This absolutely immaculate vehicle comes in a stunning red paint job complimented by a clean black interior and black convertible top. The convertible top is in excellent condition and functions as it should. Powering this American icon is a 350ci V8 crate motor mated to a stout automatic transmission. A full restoration to include the powertrain is believed to have been completed by the previous owner.... Features of the Tempest include power brakes, power steering and working heat. So, if you're in the market for an exceptional piece of American muscle, you will be hard pressed to find a better example. Please call or email us today for more information on this vehicle. In 1964, the second generation Tempest was redesigned as a more-conventional vehicle and enlarged from a compact to an intermediate-sized car. The unibody, curved driveshaft and transaxle were gone, replaced by a traditional front engine, front transmission, body-on-frame, and solid rear axle design used by all of GM's other cars but the Corvette and Corvair. Replacing the previous "Trophy 4" inline four-cylinder engine as standard equipment was a new 215ci Pontiac straight six with one-barrel carburetor. Optional engines included two versions of the 326ci Pontiac V8 introduced the previous year. One a two-barrel 250 hp regular fuel option. The other being a 280 hp 326 HO engine with a four-barrel carburetor which required premium fuel. To see over 80 photos of the car, including under carriage please visit our website br/-
