Neat car here with the upgraded 3-speed manual trans and some good options...

Yes, just a lovely car!!

That is a hell of a Survivor. Great options and colors, too. I’m surprised I never heard-of or saw this car, as it’s local to me (and appears to always have been).

It’s been on my BaT watch list.

The walk around video with the perfect appropriate song is really nice!

I sure hope whoever gets this car leaves it as is. “Preservation” is a must.

Grant, thanks for loading this auction of a cool GTO Survivor on the Yenko site.

I was curious about the "optional" 3-speed manual transmission since it comes standard with a 3-speed manual floor mounted with Hurst shifter. After some digging, this brochure states that it was an option available beginning March 1st of '65, same week as this car was built. Looks to have slightly different ratios and is fully synchromesh. I can't imagine many were ordered with this over the standard 3-speed.

Thanks Detective Baber. Great work as usual.

What a cool survivor..........another example of a car that I missed seeing at MCACN even though I was there for 3 days......:hmmm:

What an awesome car. 3 speed with factory air?? Hen's teeth.

It would be interesting to learn why a guy that lived in Brookfield went to a Pontiac dealer in Elmhurst to order the car. Probably 3 or 4 dealerships closer to Brookfield than Elmhurst.
