The newly rebuilt engine performs with amazing power and is a blast to drive!! We love the beautiful Burgundy Poly paint with the black bucket seats with wood trim. This GTO is in excellent condition and shows that it was a ground-up restoration of every nut and bolt. It is now ready for concours competition or weekend cruises!! We have just completed an engine rebuild and have added a modern Vintage Air (air conditioning and heater) to make it a much more enjoyable car to use. This is a well optioned GTO with features including: The four-speed manual transmission, vacuum gauge, Rally gauges, the wood steering wheel, power steering, the rare rear window defroster, limited slip differential and, of course, the upgraded tri-power engine (360 hp). Every nut and bolt was touched and restored. We have the PHS documentation and the GTO seems all proper (colors and features) and correct except it was born a 4 barrel carburetor car with the upgraded Tri-Power added later. Thatcher Jones and his wife have been the owners for nearly 30 years. They looked for about a year for the right GTO to restore. He bought a rust bucket convertible in Colorado and learned the hard way how not to restore a goat. From that harrowing experience, he looked for a much better GTO to restore. He found this coupe, which was purchased new in Arizona and lived a charmed life. He took it down to bare metal and there was absolutely no rust anywhere, except for the battery tray (which was replaced). The former owner had removed the original engine because he wanted to preserve it in his garage while he used the car with a 400 cu in engine that he installed. The car, of course, is now reunited with the fully rebuilt original engine (more details below). Thatcher then restored every component in the car to as-new in the mid 1990s. Since then, it has accumulated about 500 miles. This was originally a WT Code and has been upgraded to the desirable WS code which has the most desired performance upgrades. He completely rebuilt the engine and reinstalled the original date coded venerable 389 cu in (360 hp) engine along with the original tri-power triple carburetors. Every component is correct to the car except the radiator, which while conforming to the car is an updated model. He bought virtually every part from the Pontiac experts at Performance Years (now Ames Performance Engineering). We have files with stacks of receipts documenting the restoration. There are the original stampings everywhere on the car. Attesting to the provenance of the car. This GTO was built in the Fremont, CA plant during the third week of June, 1965. The black vinyl interior (Trim Code 213-30) is gorgeous with very few imperfections. The paint was beautifully refinished in the correct and original Burgundy (Code NN). The car would score very well in competitive concours events. We have just finished detailing the car and we had a full mechanical inspection performed. We rebuilt the three carbs and had them dialed in, replaced the timing chain and assembly and fully serviced the car. Since we acquired the GTO, we have rebuilt the engine with all new pistons, rings, bearings, rods, etc. We have also added a modern Vintage Air air conditioning and heating system. This GTO is ready for driving as well as showing. This GTO comes with a file FULL of receipts, about 3-4 inches thick, documenting the past 29 years of restoration and maintenance.
