1965 Pontiac Catalina 2+2 Sport Coupe for sale on BaT Auctions - ending March 4 (Lot #67,190) | Bring a Trailer I don't think I've ever seen one of these in person.
I love these cars. The 2+2 is arguably the best performance vehicle Pontiac had until the GTO overtook it in popularity (and I still like the 2+2 more, especially the '67 model year). Some minor quibbles here but nothing that makes me balk at the price. You sure couldn't do a quality frame-off restoration of one for the price of $30k!
I saw that one, they are very nice cars, I owned a 65 Tri-Power convertible version Light Yellow with a white interior & tops back in the early 1980's. Probably the best vintage Pontiac I ever owned until it was rear ended by a distracted driver at a stop light in around 1985. They made quite a few of the 65-66 models, not so many 64 or 67 versions.
Man, what a car! Could you imagine if it was a tree-pedal and banging through the gears? Oh I definitely would be disturbing the peace, layin' twin strips of rubba....
Yeah I understand completely Mine was an automatic, and it still could get out of its own way, even being a couple oh hundred pounds heavier than this example. I do like the 65 Body Style.
Reminds me of my friend's '67 Oldsmobile 442. It was like your grand dad's car but it had a 4-Speed Trans. I drove it once. What a cool car.
