I too am partial to the colour. Mine is Teal Turquoise, Cameo Ivory top, Turquoise interior. Got it from the nephew of original owner. All original except for one repaint in 1976.

Chris, I remember that car and photos from Facebook when put up for sale. It had a neat story behind it too, but don't recall what it was. I'll see if I can find it again.

A few close up photos showing the Originality on this ‘65.
Unable to see the mileage in the wood wheel photo, but the clutch/brake pedals have been used. Wheel looks very nice. M4 carb tag. All the upper and lower radiator hoses came with yellow ink (not white ink) from the factory. Also this car still has it’s Original heater hose with the cluster of 3 molded lines. Dimpled seam on AC oil fill cap. Letter “D” on the valve cover bolts (BAL built). Plug wire separator. The humps on the 389 valve covers are always opposite. This GTO has the LH cover backwards.

On the topic of the 1965 Optional Custom Sports Steering Wheel …. Isn’t.
Love the advertising from the 1965 Pontiac consumer catalog on this steering wheel. They may be alluding to the 65-66 Teakwood steering wheel (last 2 photos) that could splinter badly in an accident. Catalog shows a tilt steering column and rally gauges. Check out those pedals!

Extremely hard wood the was used on the deck of the battleship New Jersey. Agreed, the 65-66 teak wheel is gorgeous! I bought this wheel in 1975 at the Bob McDorman Corvette show in Columbus Ohio. Paid a huge price at the time, $300, but it’s minty.

Or are you saying there was a teakwood wheel available for GTO in '65-'66? K
