Car has been talked about here before. Not that nice in person and has been for sale for a while with some new owners. Just sold at Manheim around spring.

I think it needs more gauges!

Ive got plenty of those gauges sam!! You need some for the ZEE?????

Trying to learn and just curious. I was surprised to see that this was a Candadian built car. McKeesport is very near Pittsburgh. Would it have been possible to get a Canadian built GTO delivered in the USA? Or would it have been possible for a dealer trade across the border?

Cool car - love ALL of the gauges.

Thanks!

The whitewalls are my favorite part.

Being such a late delivery, a dealer trade isn't impossible but more likely this car was just another result of the 1965 Auto-Pact which eliminated many automotive trade tariffs between US and Canada.. There's a lot of fine details but the meat of the agreement allowed GM and other manufacturers to schedule available units (and parts) to flow freely from whichever Canadian/US plant could supply the requested orders..

Also since this is a Canadian built car, the seller or buyer of this car may as well grab the GM Canada Vintage Service documents to 'the stack' since they'd be available anyway!.

Is this where we should bring up the old debate on Oshawa built GTO's w/ factory MK1V power?.
