Notice that there were only two engine offerings for the GTO in 1965. It also describes the manual transmissions available. The blocks are very blue on this page. CLICK->
Phil from Poughkeepsie, New York just picked up (or scraped up) this 1965 LeMans convertible from an old salvage yard. Phil adds, "Perhaps some of it's parts can live again on a car that may have a pulse. As you can see this one died, but it will live again in some ways. There is no frame in the middle and barely anywhere else." CLICK->
Wow. Here's the left side of Phil's find. By the way, wives just love it when you bring home a rusted hulk such as this! CLICK->

Red 1965 Tri-power GTO hardtop as seen at the Automobilia Moonlite carshow in the Oldtown District of Wichita Kansas the night of July 12th 2003. It's got a red engine block. He's got his hood insulation between the hood skin and crossmembers. These pictures were taken by Stephan A Wright. Stephan commented, "This carshow is one big block party spread over approximately ten city blocks with close to 1000 cars entered and about five different bands playing till midnite when all the cars fire up and leave the show cruising thru downtown Wichita. Last year one of the better burnouts during the cruise was of course done by a GOAT." CLICK->
