1966 Pontiac Catalina 2 + 2 Convertible (Rare!!)

1966 Pontiac Catalina 2+2 Description

A complete ground up restoration has been performed on this rare 2+2 convertible Catalina. This black on black beauty is a California, low mileage survivor with only 41,612 miles.
Let's talk numbers and ponder over just how rare a convertible 2+2 really is. In 1966, 247,927 Catalina's were built with 6,382 being 2+2's. Now, factor in a convertible top option and only 2,208 were built.
We see a plethora of Impalas, Cadillacs and Buicks at the local shows, but it's not every day a convertible Catalina makes an appearance. Then pop the hood to find a 421cu in power house putting out 338hp and 459ft lb of torque. Now you have a conversation piece instead of just a different color Chevelle from the guy three cars over.
Before the overhaul, this Catalina was a solid survivor and mostly needed a minor makeover. Below is a list of some of the improvements.
Motor & Drivetrain:

• Original 421 cu in motor
• Rebuilt carburetor
• New stainless steel water pump
• New timing cover gasket
• Complete tune-up/ plugs, wires, etc.
• All fluids serviced
• New steering gear box
• Rebuilt Hydra-Matic transmission (w/warranty)
• Complete brake overhaul on all four corners

Buy with confidence knowing that nearly all of these improvements have been made over the last year and a half. Plus it's always reassuring to purchase a classic car knowing the previous owner addressed any/all mechanical issues. This Pontiac runs and drives like new and attracts tons of attention rolling down the highway.
