Note the splitter exhaust tips. The differential is the correct 3.55 geared " Safe-T-Track " . These red line tires are correct, however in an updated radial form. This car drives out beautifully! The color is Iris Mist, approximately 1200 GTOs received this shade. We do have the PHS documents for this '65 GTO. This GTO is equipped with the ride & handling package. All of the springs have been replaced this year. In 2011, power front disc brakes were added in lieu of the original aluminum drums. The wheels of choice are Pontiac 15-Inch Rallys fitted with B.F.
