I have always had a soft spot for 65 GTO's.
I owned one a long time ago.
Somewhere around 1969.
Mine was not as nice as this one but sill it was probably the nicest cars I have ever owned.
Everyone has had a car in their past that they really loved. Whether it was their first car or the fastest car or the newest car.
Mine was not this car. It wasn't new. I bought it used. I loved that car.
Where mine was Burgundy. This car is Blue Charcoal.
It sold at the auction for $32,450.
The cost for this car new in 1965 was probably about $3,500.00

"This limited edition special series of just 599 is the new pinnacle of Prancing Horse sportiness and has benefited to an enormous degree from technological transfers from the track. Many of the cutting-edge solutions sported by the 599 GTO are also the product of the Maranello engineers’ experience in the development of the 599XX, the prototype experimental car of which, as its legendary moniker suggests, the 599 GTO is the road-homologated version..."

I caught this GTO just as I was leaving the Cats INn the Garden show at the Van Vleck house in Montclair, New Jersey. It's of mid-sixties vintage.
The GTO was created with the same idea Volkswagen would apply to creating the GTI; Pontiac took a volume family car (the Le Mans/Tempest) and put a powerful engine in it and added a few other nice features to create a performance vehicle. Or, as it ws called, a "muscle car."
Speaking of the engine, I don't know how this vehicle could be street legal. There was no hood! .
