One of my favorites! My Grandfather had a Capri Gold '65 hardtop coupe and the little details stick with me to this day. Hard to beat the tail end assembly.
Wow, this GTO looks fantastic, Lou! The paint is perfect and the stance is just right, too. Add the rare ram air option, and it's no wonder it ended up in Mr. Pontiac's hands. I'm sure the new owner will love it, too
Another great video Lou love watching your channel. I been around classic cars my whole life and I'm still learning new things about them from watching your channel.
What a beautiful car ! The `50s and `60s cars had such style, which matched their performance. My old roomie had a `66 GTO (tri-power, no Ram Air), and I had a `66 Grand Prix 421 HO (tri-power), 4-speed. The streets were alive with cool cars back then, they were all over the place....
H Black Waterdogs, Regarding cars from the 50s & 60s, you're on the right Channel :-) Happy to read this car / video brings back memories of your Rommie's GTO, Lou
I have gone to lot of car shows this must of been in storage for years incredible condition I'm shore glad you gave it a good home a true blue engine she's so fine my 389
This is got to be one of my favourite- anything 1956 really. I now really want a couple more Pontiacs, and with this car, the GTO Hardtop is on may bucket list. Great job!
Hi James Bono, I have two of Jim's car on the Channel and when I see him he's wonderful to share this cars and his knowledge :-) Here is the link to the other car, Enjoy, Lou ua-cam.com/video/i-Za4wjxq60/v-deo.html
As a new subscriber I'm thankful I did.I grew up loving all GTOs but 65 is unique. I've owned 68,69 and a 70 Judge but the late model 65 is gorgeous. Ty for sharing!
Hi Maris Alchimovics , Welcome to the Channel :-) Glad to read you've owned some great cars. You'll see some of those on the Channel too. Regarding sharing, my pleasure, and you're welcome, Lou
Its Rare Enough ,W/ the Ram Air Option,No Post ,But Can't Say I've Ever Seen A 65 Black GTO,W/ White Interior.Believe This Is Also Called Parchment on Interior Color.New Owner Is A VERY LUCKY GUY. TKS For Sharing Lou & Jim.
My favorite part is the fact that it doesn't have air conditioning or power steering. So when you open up the hood all you see is that beautiful engine.
Now that is a really sweet GTO. My buddys dad had a 66 and we took it for a ride. % minutes after we got bak his old man came home and heard the mufflers tinking sound and we were caught. He didn't go crazy but he wasn't happy.
@@loucostabile We ran that 66 gto up over 100 mph. Oddly when we brought it back it ran better. Had quite a lope to the cam in it. I always wonder if his dad put a cam in it. It would fry the old tires on it. We were crazy in those youthful days.
As I remember one of my uncles came back from Vietnam bought one new with 389 3 tri pack 4 speed I can't remember if it was a 65 or 66 but I do remember him taking me for rides to town and back in it I've got to say I don't think I have ever road in any thing like it since then it would spin the tires passing someone going 50 mph when he down shifted it and layed on the gas pedal I was a kid I remember it would pen me to the seat when he gassed it for a stock car from the factory it's always going to be my favorite one of all times I've heard people say the 400 engines were stronger but I have to wonder about that I myself haven't seen one that I thought was any way thanks a bunch for sharing it and bless you for reserving some of the all time best American muscle cars ever made in America

Hi ImTheDaveman, If we had that song playing UA-cam would hit me with a "copy write violation" that I don't own the rights to that song, and they might cut off the audio on this video. Happy you enjoy this car :-) Lou
@@loucostabile yeah - I was kidding. We cant have our Lou in the UA-cam pokey for something like that. If that happened - no one could fill your shoes on here. No one.
Very, very nice 65. Wish it was mine. HOWEVER, I can't believe it was restored with an incorrect gas pedal. And a couple of minor things under the hood. Still beautiful!
