1965 Pontiac GTO

1965 Pontiac GTO SEMA build completed — Brandt's Body Shop

This incredible project belongs to Tad Nelson of Morris, Illinois. Tad brought the car to Brandt’s in February 2012 with a bold goal: complete the build for the Las Vegas SEMA Show in October 2012.

The result is a 1965 Pontiac GTO on a 2009 Corvette Chassis and Drivetrain — classic American muscle meets modern performance. These photos document the dedication, hard work, and pride that went into every step.
