In 1964, General Motors had a rule that the engines in intermediate cars could not be larger than 330 cubic inches. Pontiac put that limitation to rest that year with the legendary GTO powered by a 389 c.i. V-8. After that, the race was on (literally) at GM with Oldsmobile introducing the 400 c.i.-powered 442, Chevrolet's 396-powered Chevelle SS and Buick's 401-powered Skylark Gran Sport.
The Gran Sport is far less known, though just as collectable, as the Chevy, Pontiac and Olds models. This first-of-the-breed 1965 is in excellent condition.
