Got a new 65 , 3 2s midnight blue, blue interior for graduation from high school. Wha a great car. Got drafted and sold it just before leaving for nam. Have owned many cars over the years years. 442, SS 396, and several corvettes. My GOAT was my favorite. Miss those times.

65 Goats have great styling!

To those that say America was never great, BS! The performance and style from Pontiac says it all!

Ahhhhh...the '65 Goat. Oooof... EVERYTHING was soooo right with that car.

My favorite GTO ! A lot of tri power horse power in a smaller car, beautiful Pontiac’s lines !

I’ll never forget mine…what a car!

The 65 GTO is GM at their very very best!!

Great looking and performing car from an era we'll never see again. I had a '66 with a 4 bbl. and 2 speed auto. My dad bought it for me in about 1972, before the Arab oil embargo. New cars at that time had some smog equipment and lower compresion pistons to run on unleaded gas. That car really growled from about 35 mph when I "floored it" and it downshifted to 1st up to around 70 mph when it shifted into 2nd gear. It was pretty too, with gold paint and matching gold interior. It was more of a luxury hot rod and fully equipped with PS, PB, and A/C. I drove it every day as I was going to college and gas was dirt cheap. Sometimes, I wish I could go back to those relatively care-free days.

My all time fav ,dad had one when I was little back in 69 ,I was 6yrs old..go go GTO!!!!!!

Really nice GTO ! Thanks for feature guys 👍

I remember my 65 GTO three deuces 4-speed 389 best car I ever had

Another beautiful Pontiac. Love the painted dash, the whole interior is fantastic on the car.

Keep doing what your doing these time capsules need to be shared ‼️good for you Gene capturing your dream‼️

Campy......thank you for this wonderful video. Quick story - my late step-father was a car salesman in Pasadena, CA , and a customer traded in a '65 Lemans for a newer vehicle. My step dad bought the Lemans and brought it home to me as my first car as a sophomore in high school - 1978. I was a punk kid and initially did not appreciate it. Thought it was an "old ladies" car. But when I drove it to school for the first time and some of the hot rodder gearheads gave me a thumbs up, my countenance completely changed. This started my love affair for A-body 60's cars. I eventually had the Lemans repainted, removed all the emblems and badges, and everyone assumed it was a GTO. LOL. So many great memories driving that Pontiac !! Gene's GTO here is absolutely gorgeous !

one of my dream cars. burgundy with black leather interior.....

Now that was a great car. The 65s were my favorite year.

Myself and Bill Ballarsedt started the Louisville Kentucky GTO club great fun

Beautiful car Gene

Hey MC Campy, Love this beautiful 65 🐐 Red Hardtop with all of the goodies. Nicely done!! Truly my Favorite look for that year. My best friend (RIP 1989) Jimbo Schelhorn had one in HS in the 80s and it was a dragstrip beast that really smoked the tires and chirped all 4 gears with 4:11 dana posi gears and all of the Masterful motor work done by the "Master" of Pontiac racing outta Brooklyn NY 🗽. I'm sure you've heard of him, Nunzi Romano, the only guy who took a naturally aspirated 68 Firebird 400 single four barrel carb No Nitrous and just some Cam 2 racing gas like we got back in the day and HE RAN 8 seconds, THAT'S RIGHT 8 SECONDS, IN THE QUARTER MILE.. LOOK HIM UP HE WAS IN CAR CRAFT MAGAZINE IN THE LATER 60S into the 1970s. A true Legend 😮 Just like the GTO.. I loved the 2 body style I owned the most, 66 drop top and a 70 hardtop. Great stories for sure. Love my Pontiacs but the Legend is the 🐐....

I was 16 in 1969 and our area had many muscle cars on the streets every night. Even at 16 I was working on many of them. Some belonged to my brother-in-law, a 68 442, 64 Stingray and later a 71 Duster with the Wedge head 340. But in my opnion hte 65 GTO was the best looking of all the muscle cars. And I still love the looks and perforance of three dueces and a four speed.

Great video Campi! Owned a 65 Ragtop back in the day, and it still stands out as my favorite Pontiac of all time.

Sweet 389 rare matching nubers Sweet

I had the exact red 65 gto in 1982 in high school. It had the 4 speed 389. I MISS IT SO MUCH! 😢

Great Car....Great Video. Really enjoyed it! They didn't mount Tach's on the console in the GTO's. 64's Tach was an option only from the factory. It was in place of the clock in the dash. 65 the option was Rally Gauges which included the Tach in the dash. They had a dealer installed Vacuum Gauge which resembled a tach in size and shape which was mounted on the console.

Pontiac had it going on! That muscle and style, what a car! Damn it is sweet!

Absolutely Gorgeous! beautiful color inside and out! amazing sound, an American masterpiece! thanks for the video

I've...got..a...Tiger by the tail it's plain to see! My absolute favorites are '66-'79, but I love all GTOs.

Mine looks just like yours except restomodded with Tremec 5 speed, QA1 coilovers, 17 inch American mags and Classic Auto Air.

Gto burning gas,tires and oil lol I had a 66 ragtop loved it

The red dash is a nice touch! When I was a kid my best friend's Parents had a 65. It had the 389 with the3 duce set up, with a 2 speed power glide. The front, and rear carbs were unhooked, so i hooked the linkage back up, and we went cruising. We burned up a new set of snow tires that night. Had to pay for em to. Sure like that 65 especially with the 4 speed. Really like you're channel. PEACE ✌️

0:00-0:10 The tiger growls beautifully. Welp. I can always shoot for a similar, well kept and fun Lemans of the same vintage lol. Good video

Old school gearhead. Former owns were a 69 Plymouth Roadrunner, 70 Chevelle SS 454, 72 Dodge Challenger. Miss all of those but have always loved the GTOs.

My best friend had a black one. He was a major collector. His family still owned it when he passed.

I am working on right now i love it hope the Lord lets me live to finish it ❤

Lol very nice ❤

MY FRIEND AL "THE MAG"MARTIN HAD A 64 GOLD COLORED GTO CONVERTABLE WITH A 65 FRONT NOSE/HOOD ETC. HE BOUGHT IT FROM A BODY SHOP ON LONG ISLAND NY,WHEN HE CAME BACK FROM VIETNAM. EVEN THOUGH IT HAD A 4V AND AUTOMATIC TRANNY,IT ALWAYS BURNED RUBBER !!

Another winner!

I had a red 65 lemans… it was my first car

Muscle power. Love goats. ❤️. Elcominos. Poor man pickup truck ! My there'd ❤️. Found on territory called, pueto rico. All matching under tarp❤

Perfect hi-performance Poncho. Stripped, color combo, minor up-grades, everything is the way I would've done it. Also add the Ram air hood. Love it when you the opened up the trips in the video. (Maybe I wouldn't have had a P/S pump on the motor, but it's still a great one. ) Thanks for posting.

My first car at 17. Had custom paint too.😎

The tri power is excellent on this car!

American muscle cars❤

what rear end gears are in it I had a 66 gto but busted up the rear gears where are the Rear end I'd tags located on the gto I had a rear end put in with 355 gears in it from the junk yard and it never ran the same way.

I brag..I had 2 1965 GTO covertibile..dark green 4spd..crashed..replaced with white with auto..ot was faster n a corvette killer! I miss them

Theresa’s a lavender color so sharp,

GM is legendary guilty of dumping terrific models, for some insane reason

GTO=Grand Tempest Option was the original designation at Pontiac.

I had one and I kick myself for ever selling it.

Love it a dark Blue 65 GTO with 389- 3dues and a 4-speed Got married and sold it for a 1966 chevy wagon 327 family car Dumb ass me.

We hate plastic cars BUT if they came out with these styles again in AMERICA....it would boost the car business overnight

"Mid 14's" ????? My new '64 GTO ran high 13's all day long. My best time at Indy was a 13.89 at 106 mph. Get your facts straight.
