1965 Pontiac GTO Hurst

Pontiac GTO - Originally built by Pontiac from 1964 to 1974, and by General Motors Holden in Australia from 2004 to 2006. Tagged by many as the first true muscle car. From 1964 until midway through 1973 it was closely related to the Pontiac Tempest and for the 1974 model year it was based on the Pontiac Ventura. The 21st century GTO is essentially a left hand drive Holden Monaro, itself a coupe variant of the Holden Commodore.

In 1965, Pontiac, George Hurst, Jim Wangers “Godfather of the GTO,” with Petersen Publishing, organized a unique contest to promote the new Pontiac GTO and Hurst Performance Products.

The Grand Prize for the contest was a 1965 Pontiac GTO, equipped with over 28 factory options plus special gold Hurst mag wheels, a special Hurst Gold paint job, and a gold-plated Hurst Shifter, it was the ultimate ‘65 GTO - and the ultimate promotional vehicle for all involved.
