GTO Tri-Power

The Original Muscle Car

The 1965 Pontiac GTO is credited with starting the entire muscle car phenomenon. This beautifully restored example is equipped with the legendary Tri-Power setup - three two-barrel carburetors sitting atop the 389 cubic inch V8.

Tri-Power Performance

The Tri-Power option was the pinnacle of GTO performance in 1965:

• 389 cubic inch V8
• Three Rochester 2-barrel carburetors
• Rated at 360 horsepower
• 424 lb-ft of torque
• 10.75:1 compression ratio

When you nail the throttle, the progressive linkage opens all three carbs simultaneously, providing an intake roar that’s music to any enthusiast’s ears.

Restoration Quality

This GTO received a comprehensive rotisserie restoration completed in 2019. No expense was spared:

• Complete media blasting and metal work
• New floor pans where needed
• PPG base/clear paint system
• Chrome and stainless replated or replaced
• New weatherstripping throughout
• Engine rebuilt to factory specifications
