NEW POST Nightwatch Blue 1965 GTO sport coupe owned by Greg Havlovitz from Kewaunee, Wisconsin. Greg adds, "I bought the car in 1990 and drove it home with a lot of thumbs up. The car was fairly rough shape, but I worked little at a time and as I could afford it. All of the restoration was done by myself except the 389, which was rebuilt by a good friend. Its really amazing how much attention the GTO gets whereever you go. And a heck of a fun car to drive. It has a 389ci 4-speed with Edelbrock 4-brl."CLICK->

Black 1965 GTO convertible with stripe was Picture Of The Week 5/17/98. Emailed in by Linda Hilton. The owner, Ralph Law, tells us this story:
"A long time lady friend of mine, Linda Hilton, who I have known since high school sent you the picture of my 1965 GTO that you have so nice presented as this week's cover car. This was my first new car purchased with my own earnings when I was 21. I added headers and a racing cam, plus a few other extras. I ran 13 second 1/4 miles! Got several trophies at the drag strips in Wisconsin. When I raced it, I put on the slicks. It was special ordered due to the color which is Cypress Green. Cypress Green was not a Pontiac offered color, rather it was one of the colors for Chevrolet. I loved the color and they painted it at the factory. Linda e-mailed me and suggested I look at your site. What a surprise when I saw it. I received many citations from law enforcement personnel. One night, I got six tickets! I used to taunt the police and peel away near them or spray them with gravel and they could not catch me. However, one night, I raced it continuoulsy through several Chicago suburbs. Thinking I had lost them all, I quietly pulled into the driveway of a friend. Suddenly, multiple police spot lights were upon me. To this day, I still aggravate police but with my mountain bike and roller blades in Walnut Creek, CA. Although am 54 now, I have always been a runner and a bike nut. Thus, I go where I am not supposed to, the hills in the open space area, and downtown where cops have noting to do but hassle teens for skateboarding and roller blading. I wrote a letter to the chief and said if they could catch me, I would donate a $1,000 to their police association. So far, no pay outs! The GTO was wonderful and I am fortunate that it didn't kill me. Later, in mid 30's, I was able to afford a new Porsche. The Porsche was my favorite of almost 60 cars I've owned. However, the 65' GTO is my second favorite, and I had six Corvettes, and some other nice cars. If someone e-mails you and says they have the car, please let me know. " CLICK-> 
Blue 1965 GTO hardtop. This was Picture Of The Week for 6/14/98. The picture was emailed to me by Jeff Coultas. Jeff had this to say, "The pictured 65 GTO was put back together from a car that had been decomposing in a barn for a number of years. Some of the parts that had disappeared were cabbaged from a wrecked 4-door 65 Tempest. Other parts were located at W&W "GTO Heaven" in Brighton, IL. Paint and bodywork was done by Kevin Mathews in Roodhouse, Illinois with major mechanical work and psychological support from Gebhardt's Pro Cars in Jacksonville. Car is mostly original with exception of H-O Performance suspension, front disc brakes from an early 70's Impala and 462ci big block chevy where the blue motor used to be. Plans might include a return to Pontiac power if time and dollars permit. Car runs and drives great & is out on the street regularly. I enjoy your web page...keep up the good work."CLICK->
