My 1965 GTO Tri-Power 4-speed convertible
Here are a few pictures of my 1965 GTO tri power 4-speed convertible that I bought off my Neighbor that ordered this car brand new in 1964.
Yes original owner from 1964-2013 I bought this car in 2013 (I have recently sold this car) Amazing car that never had anything changed except fluids Not even a spray can used on the engine. A true piece of history ....

Amazing car. I hope the new owner leaves the car as is. To restore would destroy an original icon.

Wow! I'm not sure I could have cut that one loose-known personal history, right options.

I grew up in the Ghetto of Lynn (Boston) Ma and Always had envy for muscle cars, In fact when I got my License in 1974 I borrowed $600 from my Grandmother that helped raise me to buy my first car a 1967 Firebird 400. I had to pay her back $10 a week for that car! I sold that car in 2014 along with 13 others I had collected for 40+ years due to illness. I will try to attach a picture of that Firebird.....

I am sorry to hear about your health, but glad to hear you still have a few more car rides left in you.

We've had two GTOs with paint that bad, both out of the Pontiac Michigan plant. Our '64 was an embarrassment, with the paint coming off in flakes. Dad wanted the factory to repaint the whole car but our salesman Dick Jesse didn't think he could swing it. They made a call to the factory rep, who also suggested Dad stick a piece of masking tape on any of the places he wanted repaired. Dad wrapped the whole car in tape, probably two rolls of it. The ended up repainting the whole car. Our '65 has spots in the hood where you can see handprints; the trunk lid has an area where it looks like solvent was swiped off and the paint sprayed over it (a retired Pontiac paint shop manager has since told me that is from pressing down too hard with the tack rag, imbedding the solvent in the primer). It also has the requisite hairs in the paint and poor panel fitment. All of those defects are still visible, just as when new. K
