Montero Red 1965 LeMans (GTO clone) hardtop was owned by Brian Catania. Brian tells us, "I bought it from a guy who swore it was a GTO, but PHS came back different. It has all the correct stuff though: rally dash, red metallic interior, three speed turbo 350, 400 ci Pontiac engine, and a 3.08 posi rear. I restored it in three months - purchased for $3,000 and sold for $12,500." CLICK->

Jason Blair owns a burgundy 1965 GTO hardtop and a Pulse Red 2004 GTO. Jason tells us more, "My 1965 is a 389 4 barrel with factory air conditioning, power steering, power brakes, AM/FM reverb, Rally gauges, power antenna, wood wheel, center console, and automatic transmission. Since I bought the car, I have repainted it, added front disc brakes, a new wiring harness, Bilstein shocks, Cragar SS wheels, Be Cool aluminum radiator and electric cooling fan, and I have changed the Powerglide out to a 700R4 4 speed automatic overdrive transmission... which allows for my 3.90 rear end gears! The paint on the 65 is now a basecoat/clearcoat called Patriot Red Pearl, which is the Burgundy color used on newer Mitsubishis." CLICK->
