That is a gorgeous car. I would love to have a convertible.

No, it's not. Please provide your source for 1965 Pontiac acceleration data.

I don't think those are apples to apples comparisons. The softer suspension in a more luxury tuned vehicle may improve the 0-60 time through more weight transfer for example. Mercedes-Benz has misrepresented 0-62 times before. We won't know for sure until someone does an instrumented test.
