The Pontiac GTO is a front-engine, rear-drive, two-door, four- or five-passenger automobile manufactured and marketed by the Pontiac division of General Motors over four generations from 1963 until 1974 in the United States - with a fifth generation by GM's Australian subsidiary, Holden, for the 2004 through 2006 model years.
The first generation of the GTO is credited with popularizing the muscle car market segment in the 1960s.[2][3] The Pontiac GTO is considered by some to have started the trend with all four domestic automakers offering a variety of competing models.[4][5]
For the 1964 and 1965 model years, the GTO was an optional package on the intermediate-sized Pontiac Lemans. The 1964 GTO vehicle identification number (VIN) started with 22, while the 1965 GTO VIN started with 237. The GTO became a separate model from 1966 to 1971 (VIN 242...). It became an optional package again for the 1972 and 1973 intermediate LeMans. For 1974, the GTO was an optional trim package on the compact-sized Ventura.
The GTO was selected as the Motor Trend Car of the Year in 1968.
The GTO model was revived from 2004 to 2006 model years as a captive import for Pontiac, a left-hand drive version of the Holden Monaro, itself a coupé variant of the Holden Commodore.
The Tempest model lineup, including the GTO, was restyled for the 1965 model year, adding 3.1 inches (79 mm) to the overall length while retaining the same wheelbase and interior dimensions. It had Pontiac's characteristic vertically stacked quad headlights. Overall weight was increased by about 100 lb (45 kg). The brake lining area increased by nearly 15%. Heavy-duty shocks were standard, as was a stronger front antisway bar. The dashboard design was changed, and an optional rally gauge cluster (US$86.08) added a more legible tachometer and oil pressure gauge. An additional option was a breakerless transistor ignition.
The 389 cubic inches engines received revised cylinder heads with re-cored intake passages and high-rise intake manifolds, improving airflow to the engine. Rated power increased to 335 hp (250 kW) at 5,000 rpm for the base four-barrel engine; the Tri-Power engine was now rated 360 hp (270 kW) at 5,200 rpm. The 'S'-cammed Tri-Power engine had slightly less peak torque rating than the base engine 424 lb⋅ft (575 N⋅m) at 3,600 rpm as compared to 431 lb⋅ft (584 N⋅m) at 3,200 rpm. Transmission and axle ratio choices remained the same. The three-speed manual was standard, while two four-speed manual transmissions (wide or close ratio) and a two-speed automatic transmission were optional.[11]
The restyled car had a new simulated hood scoop. A seldom-seen dealer-installed option consisted of a metal underhood pan and gaskets to open the scoop, making it a cold air intake. The scoop was low enough that its effectiveness was questionable (it was unlikely to pick up anything but boundary layer air), but it allowed an enhanced engine sound. Another exterior change was the black "egg-crate" grille.

Your a true fighter, gets run over and still does your videos on your KZbin channel!😊

[@alwynemcintyre2184]

Glad you survived the incident, don't bounce like you did when you were 20 hey. Get well rest if you need to.

[@robphillips1797]

Hope you make a full recovery! I never miss your videos! You are the best.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Great kit!!!! 👍👍👍👍

Sorry to hear about your accident. Heal quickly!

[@JimFlanagan4206]

Worth it just for the steelies and caps! Glad you're not too badly hurt from your accident.

[@richardlee1092]

Looks like a great kit Chris… take care of yourself!

[@p40f20]

Superb build, Chris!!!!! I"ll have one in dark blue please. Get well soon!!!!!!!

[@r.a.monigold9789]

Hope you recover ASAP. 1964 my last year in school. 1966 my first year in Vietnam. 1965 was my year of being an adult. My buddies' older brother had a 1965 GTO that we got to ride in - a lot. I worked at a gas station and the owner (cheap guy) bought a 1965 Pontiac LeMans and then added on some GTO stuff - it was STILL a Pontiac LeMans. AMT ? I 'grew up' building AMT kits. They were always the most accurate car kits. Dang, thanks Chris, at 77, I had forgot about 1965 til now - NICE.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks buddy!

[@sembauman1242]

I’m 77 AMT was my favorite kit to work with built many models together so enjoy watching you work Sam

[@davidhinkson8856]

Sorry to hear about the injury - here's wishing you a speedy recovery.

[@garystarke8303]

Chris, Great build as usual, not even a hint you are bruised, battered or tire imprinted. Glad you are alive and healing. You build models for our information and viewing entertainment and it is always apprecieated. We have no right to assert ourselves into your personal life but come on man, you're really going to just leave us with "I got run over by a vehicle yesterday" and not give us some details? 🤔 Seriously, glad you are as well as you are considering and thank you again for all the great content! 👍🙂

[@58raceguy]

Good heavens Chris, I’m so glad you weren’t hurt even worse. Best wishes on healing completely and quickly. Thanks for uploading another great build even when you’re beat up.

[@hotrodmodeler4649]

I like what you did with it. 65 is my favorite year Goat for sure! Keep on building! 👍🏼

[@andrewluchsinger]

Just saying hey from Manitowoc.

[@lylebriggs923]

Another awesome build Cris thank you

[@waynehawkins9090]

Nice looking build sir!

[@lisabolles8215]

Get well Chris!!! We’re thrilled that Amt Finally Re-tooled the ‘65 GTO. These Curbside kits can be taken even further with parts from other models. The Revell 1965 Chevelle chassis could be swapped into the GTO, & the motor from the Revell’66 GTO is another possibility. Good things!!!!

[@generac43]

Beautiful job! 👍👍👍

[@richhartman6364]

Great job! Hope you heal quickly! I was born in 1948 same year as AMT.

[@raphaelhernandez4088]

Another great build Chris! Thank you for sharing.

[@modelcar1589]

Nice kit 👍🏿

[@rtistik94]

Ouch... glad you weren't hurt too bad. Hope you get well soon. As far as the GTO goes, the Colorado plates were printed upside down. That's unique!😄

[@MrCocg1]

I was checking to see if someone catched that before I printed.!! I live in Co.!!

Super nice love the color.

[@ronroberts2453]

Killer build and presentation Chris, I love these new tooling Craftsman Kits! Well done Round2! I'm glad you are healing, be safe! And finally, I was born in 1947, the year before the AMT Company was created. My very first AMT kit was a 1961 Ford Galaxie Convertible I built in late 1960.

[@geraldhenson280]

Glad you ok😮

[@emilcost8613]

Wow! I love this car. The best design of the sixties. Great channel.. subbed!

Looks to be a straightforward fun build Chris. Sorry to hear about your accident, hope you’re on the mend.

Very glad that you are doing so well. Looking forward to the next video. Thank You for sharing with Us here on the tube. Later

Great build. Feel better soon!

[@dongordon4464]

'49er here 1949 that is it is great to see these old kits re-tooled if you have any influence with Round 2 we need a re-issue of the '66 Sonny and Cher Mustang

[@jamesdaly5698]

Great job, chris! Glad you're OK, too! Love this kit. It's great to have a true HT version of this iconic muscle car. And I am sooooo glad that R2 tooled new headlights for this kit. Yay! Those clear lenses look sharp! Stock wheels and doggies? Whoo hoo! I have multiple versions planned for this kit, bashing it with others. Superb.....:)

[@stevenbongiorno9277]

Feel better soon!

[@garyjust.johnson1436]

Mr. Goodpliers, youtube channel has a bunch of videos he uploaded recently from a pontiac car auction and i gotta say, i was pleasantly surprised how much those old cars went for! A 389 engine block got 5000 dollars! Great video! I will get this one!

[@robbygaines3214]

The GTO came out great. I love the color. Hope you get well soon.

[@ronnywhitehead6146]

[@floridaman9825]

Very cool model. Sorry to hear about your accident. Hope all is well.

[@petervitti9]

Cool kit. Amt finally fixed the google-headlights of the previous 65 GTO issues. Cannot wait for this new kit to appear at my model shop.

[@coolbeach6717]

Looks great as always. please do so more semi trucks those videos are awesome.

[@StratBurst92]

You are so correct on the plastic wheel studs. Broke mine off on the 68 Dodge Coronet R/T convertible that I was working on. Plastic mounting studs, bad idea. Plus, the rear metal axle was too short.

[@derrellreynolds6226]

Great video sir . Hope you feel better soon.👍

[@stevenbaker8216]

Very cool build sorry to hear what happened to you glad you are doing better get some rest and take care

[@tjmmodelcraft8486]

Killer build Chris! I watched this earlier with no sound and told my girlfriend you have the steadiest painting and pen hand in model building. Then I rewatched with sound and was taken aback about the incident. I never would of known cause the build and paint came out great in spite of the injury. Take care man.

[@skipragsdale3565]

Way to go with a GTO! I'll be getting one of these as soon as I can find one, my high school driver was a '65 GTO so this is way cheaper than a driver! A 1965 GTO Hardtop is long overdue as the current Convertible / HT version although a great model cannot really assemble into a 100% looking hard top. Hope you're healing up soon. WoW you KZbinr guys really lead a dangerous life, first Mark Batson - HobbyDude007 and now the HPI guy,,, maybe they are going in alphabetical order! LoL!! Whose next...

[@openexhaustmodels5139]

Great build mate👍

[@robcates2383]

That white pinstripe looks AWESOME! Dont like curbsides, but this looks amazing! Another great video, Chris!!

[@SirDevious1]

I always love watching you work. These newer kits look fantastic. I would be more apt to purchase some if they weren't trying to get us to pay MORE for less kit. These new kits are retailing for around 34 dollars which is the same price as the full detail kits. If I'm going to spend that money, it's going to be for a kit that has all the parts it should have for the price. Thanks for bringing us whats new and keep up the awesome work!

[@williamholmes9195]

I agree. Prices have gotten ridiculous.

[@sydrider6023]

Nicely tooled this kit, it will make it to my collection for sure.

[@dolfan1963]

Get well soon

I love your channel and your work ! Question can you do the Moebius Mars Attack Kit ?

Get well soon and if not there is always cement glue for them broken pieces lol

[@stuartmeadows7628]

Great colour choice, it looks very authentic. Sorry to hear about your accident I wish you a speedy recovery. I love the show and look forward to each episode as I have picked up a lot of tricks and techniques watching the workshop. Keep up the good work. Stuart Meadows.

[@SolamenteVees]

Love the curbside kits... (I just ordered two from Model Roundup)

[@wwiiinplastic4712]

I like them as well. Most of my kits are in a case so the hoods never get opened anyway.

[@johngligo4049]

Love that pea green interior and that wheel and tire package on your GTO! Outstanding job Chris! Sorry about your injury, glad you didn't break any bones... Get well soon Sir!

[@squirrel8037]

Hey Chris, I built this kit in the 1960's!!

[@mitch1048]

Glad you're ok love these curbside kits Whats in store from amt will blow your mind what a year this is going to be

[@johnhughes9019]

Super nice build-up, *Chris* ! The green - on -green scheme is a fantastique choice ! Yes, I wish that you would've stuck with the original wheels/hubcaps, but it *is* your build. I'm kind of surprised to see a *Super* *Turbine* *300* transmission included vs, the typical 4 - speed. Nice that everything jibes accordingly (pedals, shifter gate, etc.).

[@jimchapman1524]

Glad you survived that incident

[@michaelcooke2559]

Very nice build. The kit looks like it is well engineered. Hopefully, Round 2 will put an engine in this one soon. Hope you heal well. Thanks for sharing.

"Its Not Easy To Be Green" Man you got the Huevos of STEEL my friend to go bright green considering there are fire engine reds and jet blacks - even a 60's GM Fridge brindle brown that would make this goat Pop. My 2¢ adjusted for inflation. Don't worry, the body will shrink over time to fit the decals. lol Good job as usual !! 👀

For a craftsman kit it looks like a full kit. COOL!! I have wondered for a long time, what glue is that with the white lid? Can't wait to see what kit you do next. Have bought a few and not bought a few kits over the last few years due to your channel. Thank you Chris...

i hope getting better chris 👍👍

[@danielkemp4801]

Thoughts and prayers for you, get well soon. Love your videos and reviews of the new kits coming out. You are doing a great job. Wasn't the 65 GTO called a "gentleman's muscle car? I am just curious about it. Be safe out there.

I'm not super familiar with all the GTO versions so I'm wondering what else could be inserted into the hood instead of the included part.

[@mikehunt7857]

I have a question that I hope maybe you can provide an answer for. Do you know if you have a video that has a bit of a tutorial on how to make a cracked dashboard? I ask because I know you like to weather your builds etc and feel like maybe you have done something of the sort on a build. If you don't have a video or anything do you have a product/technique you can reccomend to get the results?

[@hpiguy]

Yup, any video with a weathered car shows how I do that. Thanks!

wrong color of blue on the engine! it was a light metallic blue.... most people use the later color on the earlier engine.... I can't figure the green on the interior though.... nice work, guess I'm a bit bigoted, I have a real GTO.....
