New photos have been uploaded showing engine components.
WS = Tri-Power (360 HP), manual shift.
Block date = very close to build date.
Cylinder heads #77 = ‘65 GTO.

No, this is not a Survivor as advertised as it does not have factory paint.
Still don’t know if transmission and rear end are born with ?
Power brakes were recommended on cars with metallic brakes such as this car.
At some point the Power Steering was added as it’s not noted on the PHS Billing Card or the Window Sticker.

If this car is a legit matching numbers GTO it would be a highly sought after example because of all the performance options noted.

PS, One year only (1965 GTO W/3x2) HD 4 row radiator with filler neck on RH side with matching fan guard.
