1965 Pontiac Catalina Description
1965 Pontiac Catalina, with a 2BBl 389 V8, all stock, all original, low mileage, numbers matching, no rebuilds and just a fresh coat of paint over a decade ago, original color. Very reliable with about 19 miles per gallon efficiency. I feel very comfortable at any speed and have driven it personally on 1000 mile road trips. I got the car with under 80k and bought it from a collector in NJ. It was sold in Passaic NJ in 1965.
All scheduled maintenance is performed with oil change 3k miles, grease linkages, power steering and radiator service. All windows crank fine, heater vents, lights, doors open and close tight. Trunk solid, front hood solid. Engine is a dream with power steering that is easy enough for a pinky finger. Breaks are great, modern radial tires in good condition with years left on them.
Totally rust free floor boards, underbody and body. In the pictures you'll see just a couple imperfections I notice in the whole body besides some minor scratches and normal wear and tear. There are 2 bubbles forming in front of the drivers side door. There is also a crack in the hidden corner of the windshield that looped around to a stop. It will not spread as you can surmise from the pictures. Very nominal, no need for change. AM stereo looks great but doesn't work. Its about $100 to fix and I can put you in touch with the engineer that fixes them if you felt so inclined to fix it.
Back in the 2000's this car was registered with movie and editorials. You can see pictures of the car with a posing model in an article of Maxim magazine. I have a copy of this magazine that comes with the car. It was also featured in some indie movies but I don't know which ones. The movies like this car because its just like it was when it left the factory.
Other things that come with the car: Multi-layer weather proof car cover, spare tire and jack, original hubcaps, Maxim magazine copies of the original sales brochures, aftermarket floor mats that match and copies of all maintenance done since 2010.
Will consider trade for Pontoon Boat with minimum 85 HP motor.
