1965 PONTIAC GTO COUPE - CUSTOM "THE PUNISHER" - NEW RESTORATION

1965 PONTIAC GTO COUPE - CUSTOM
COMMAND CAR FOR MILITARY MUSCLE WITH CUSTOM "THE PUNISHER" LOGO
COMPLETE CUSTOM FRAME-OFF RESTORATION

I own Ramsey's Rods and Restoration, and we built the entire vehicle.
Restoration was completed in late 2019, and then COVID hit, and it has not been driven anywhere or displayed at any car shows.
No expense was spared to create this original Military-look vehicle!
The work is exceptional, and it has been taken care of very well since the restoration was completed.
This vehicle is not the norm for our shop, but it has instilled in us the true desire to honor all the military and first responders that serve our country with their lives.
These men and women serve us proudly without hesitation. They work every day to ensure our FREEDOM because freedom is not FREE!

Throttle bodies are mounted to a special “SIX” pack manifold.
Fuel constant 45 PSI fuel pressure is controlled by a billet fuel regulator with a gauge.
Fuel injection main computer box is mounted in the passenger compartment along with the programmer control box.

Engine is a GM Performance 350 crate engine with a moderate camshaft.
Relocated engine mounting pads move the engine rearward for a better weight balance.
Engine is mated to a TH350 automatic transmission with a 2500 stall converter. A freshly rebuilt drive shaft sends the power to the rear axle.
Tires are low profile Hankook with 225/45ZR17 on the front and 245/45ZR18 on the rear.
Rims are Billet Specialties Five Spoke aluminum rims that have been custom painted with a two-tone design to match the body colors.

All remaining panels were worked and epoxy primed before moving into the painting process.
Complete underside of the body and inner front fenders were sprayed with undercoat.
Interior floor is sprayed with Raptor bed liner for a rugged look that will clean up easily.
New black headliner and sail panels were installed.
Door panels and rear seat interior panels are custom aluminum panels embossed with the skull logo of the American sniper “The Punisher”.
"The Punisher" logo on the door panels were custom crafted for this project by Big Wig Race Cars.

Dash and center console chrome trim has been painted in a hammer-tone of silver and black.
Hammer-tone has been carried outside to the body panels and is applied to all trim parts, and it has also been used on the new front and rear bumpers to give that military muscle-look and design.
Front fenders GTO emblems have also been customized with the hammer-tone silver, black and white scheme.
Front and rear GTO emblems and Pontiac logo are painted in fluorescent white.
Original front bucket seat frames were stripped and rebuilt.

Seat foam was custom contoured and covered in a custom designed ultra leather consisting of an old school black and a digital green with silver camouflage center insert that carries to the back of the seats and to the rear bench style seat.
To top it all off, all seats have “Special Operations” black and white American flag shoulder patches located in the shoulder blade area.

In the center of each visor is an aluminum ringed cross-hair targeting system.

A pro touring design steering wheel tops the column.
