History of the 1965 LeMans

The Pontiac Le Mans was a model name applied to compact and intermediate-sized automobiles marketed by the Pontiac division of General Motors from 1962 to 1981.

The Tempest line was upsized to an intermediate-sized car on the new GM A platform in 1964, and the Le Mans returned to its role of Tempest trim upgrade with a new 215 CID six-cylinder and a redesigned 326 CID V8. Shortly after the start of the 1964 model year, the Le Mans became available with a new performance package designated as the GTO, or 'Gran Turismo Omologato'. The GTO option was priced at just under US$300 and included a larger 389 CID V8 from the full-sized Pontiac line that put out 325 or 348 Tri- Power and for 1965 the numbers would be 335HP 4bbl and 360 Hp Tri power hp, a four-speed floor shift Muncie manual transmission with Hurst shifter, heavy-duty suspension, red-line Tiger Paw tires, and GTO nameplates. GTO sales ended up at 32,000 for the first year, well beyond initial estimates of 5,000 units and accounted for a large share of Tempest/Le Mans sales. The success and the image of the GTO also helped increase the image and sales of all the Pontiac line.
