1965 Pontiac 2+2 convertible

1965 Pontiac Catalina Description

I originally purchased this car to keep and restore. However, I recently purchased a more desirable car for myself and need the room.

I have a box of information that came with the car when I bought it. There are some maintenance records and some past registrations. The last owner believed that there were only 15 1965 2+2 convertibles left on the road.

The car is comfortable, powerful and easy to drive.

AllThe 2+2 option was borrowed from the European sports cars with seating for 4, two in the front + 2 in the rear. It came with a 421 cu. in., 356-hp V-8. It has a 4-barrel carburetor. The car came from the factory with stiffened suspension for improved handling with heavy duty springs and sway bars. In 1965 the 2+2 outperformed the Ferrari 2+2 in a heads-up performance test.

This rare black on yellow convertible looks and runs great. The interior has just been refreshed. It sports a new top, bucket seats, center console and, factory eight-lug wheels. The original am radio has been converted to am/fm and the speakers have been replaced and upgraded. New shocks have been installed. It appears to be a relatively unmolested car. There are factory chalk marks under the hood. In this 49-year-old car has had only two owners who drove it sparingly. The average yearly mileage is just less than 2400 miles per year.
