For 1965, Pontiac's Grand Prix arrived looking bigger and bolder, with its "venturi" shaped body riding on an expanded 121-inch wheelbase. The standard "premium gas" engine under the GP's hood was the 389 four-barrel, rated at 333hp when teamed with a manual transmission and 325hp with an automatic. Buyers could also choose from a range of engines starting with a "regular gas" 256hp 389 up to the 376hp 421HO with three two-barrel carburetors.
Inside, buyers could choose from a bench seat with a center armrest or bucket seats and console with floorshift, available upholstered either in all-Morrokide expanded vinyl or cloth with Morrokide. Interior woodgrain trim was standard issue in the luxurious GP along with glove box and courtesy lights, a cigarette lighter, padded dash and padded arm rests. Extra cost options included Automatic Temperature Control, power windows, power brakes, power steering, power seat and power antenna.
This example for sale on Hemmings.com looks presentable inside and out — though we'd like a glimpse under the hood — rolling on 8-lug rims, but lacking its rear fender skirts (at least in the photos). From the seller's description:
