Why This Car Is Special

You may have thought all of Pontiac’s muscle cars were GTO’s and Firebirds? Not true as the 1965 Pontiac Grand Prix had one of the most powerful standard V8 engines of its brand and of any of the other brands full sized cars back in 1965 too.

We have a swoopy looking and restored in 2010 1965 Pontiac Grand Prix here at Skyway Classics in a great color of Nightwatch blue with a white top and plum interior and cars like this full-sized 1966 Pontiac Grand Prix hardtop were built for both comfort and performance.

Mechanical

The engine is a 389 cubic inch V8 originally rated at 333 horsepower looking oh so stock in its nicely detailed and correct engine compartment, wearing Pontiac Turquoise engine enamel, on its block, heads, intake, and valve covers, stock black factory air cleaner with the 389-4 decal, 4 barrel carb, factory cast iron exhaust flowing back to the dual exhaust, backed by a 3-speed automatic transmission, and rolling on steel factory wheels with wire PMD chrome hubcaps and white sidewall tires.

It all sits in a very well restored, painted, and detailed engine compartment that looks as it did back in 1965.

Interior

Our Pontiac has a plum colored twin bucket seat interior with center console, matching rear bench seat and door panels, Pontiac wood grain dash with its full array of factory gauges, clock, pushbutton radio, and factory Pontiac steering wheel.

The bucket seated interior is free of rips and tears, and all the gauges are in working order including the signature Pontiac Vacuum gauge on the center console.

And this big Pontiac has a massive trunk that holds a full-sized spare and still offers enough room for a group of five to carry, well, everything they own in it and on what looks to be the original style trunk mat and tire cover too.

Exterior

The Pontiac had a restoration in 2010 and was resprayed with the born with Nightwatch Blue body paint and original Cameo Ivory roof.

All GM B body cars of this time were restyled with the new Wide-Track Pontiac styling as these cars were wider, lower, and longer with maximum emphasis on the coke bottle lines along the flanks, stacked headlight, and split grill signature that Pontiac pioneered years earlier, giving a lot of character and contributed to making this Grand Prix one of the most popular body styles ever produced.

Conclusion

This restored 1965 Pontiac Grand Prix we have here at Skyway Classics has a lot of originality with classic looks and 389 big block performance that makes it a big, fun, comfortable cruiser that proves you don’t have to give up performance to get a little luxury. Call today!
