Burgundy muscle meets modern performance in the 1965 Pontiac GTO Convertible Restomod. Few machines command the same level of respect as Pontiac's original muscle car, and this example ups the ante with its glossy Burgundy finish that gives off subtle pearl undertones in direct light. The contrasting black cloth top folds down to reveal the true open-air experience these machines were built for. Low and menacing, the muscular body sits perfectly over 18" Intro wheels wrapped in 235/45ZR17 front and 245/45R18 rear tires. Every curve and line of the legendary GTO silhouette remains intact, preserving the brutal aesthetic that made these cars legends from day one.
Parchment and black vinyl create a bold two-tone interior that balances luxury with performance attitude. The bucket seats offer firm support while maintaining the classic look expected of a '60s muscle car. An American Powertrain console shifter sits ready for action between the seats, providing precise gear selection through all five speeds. The refinished dash features faux wood accents that complement the wood steering wheel, while Dakota gauges display vital information with classic style. Original door cards and rear paneling maintain period correctness, while the clean carpets tie the entire cabin together for a cohesive look that bridges past and present.
Motivating this GTO is a 400 V8 engine that's been upgraded with Edelbrock Performer aluminum cylinder heads and an Edelbrock single 4-barrel carburetor for serious power. The Tremec 3550 5-speed manual transmission puts control directly in the driver's hands, allowing full use of the V8's considerable output. Long tube headers feed into a dual exhaust system with an H-pipe and Flowmaster mufflers that produce a signature muscle car soundtrack. KYB shocks and coil springs provide improved handling dynamics, while power disc brakes at all four corners deliver stopping power that matches the substantial go.
