This 1963 Pontiac Catalina is a remarkable automobile having what is believed to be just three owners in its history. In fact, it has spent the last year undergoing a thorough reconditioning and now sits ready to enjoyed to the fullest. The Caravan Gold repaint, completed in January 2024, showcases it's original shade, and while it originally had an Ivory painted roof, we can't argue with the Catalina's fresh bold look with crisp lines and flowing curves. Chrome Cragar wheels provide an aggressive look, wrapped in fresh BF Goodrich 215/65R15 tires on all four corners. The exterior details shine through with the dual exhaust outlets punctuating the rear view, while the power antenna adds a luxurious touch. A fresh dual exhaust system amplifies this Pontiac's road presence.
The believed-original fawn-colored interior combines vinyl and cloth materials in an authentic 1960s design. The broad bench seat offers plenty of space for three, with the column shifter keeping the floor clear. The original AM/FM radio with power antenna provides the soundtrack, while an auxiliary oil pressure gauge monitors vital stats. Factory power steering makes maneuvering effortless. The authentic Pontiac floor mats maintain the factory appearance while protecting the carpets.
The original numbers-matching 389 cubic inch V8 pairs with a professionally rebuilt 200R4 4-speed automatic (was originally a 3 speed auto car) with only 500 miles on the rebuild. The powertrain connects to a Pontiac 9.3 rear end for strong acceleration and four-wheel power disc brakes with fresh lines and booster provide modern stopping capability. An aluminum radiator keeps temperatures in check, while the new gas tank and exhaust system ensure proper fuel delivery and exhaust flow.
