Vehicle Description
Not many classics can match the overall significance this 1965
Pontiac Catalina Ventura has had for its nameplate. Like many cars
from the '60s, the Catalina started out as a trim package before
venturing out on its own as a stand-alone model. It met with quite
an enthusiastic response upon its release, which prompted Pontiac
to not only stick with the Catalina, but also give it a thorough
restyling the very year this '65 rolled out, and it would go on to
serve as the foundation for a number of other popular Pontiac
models. Dressed in Emerald Green paint - a perfect fit for this
lengthy classic - it's a great-looking ride, with a generously
proportioned wheelbase, gracefully flowing rear roofline, and a low
factory stance that remains intact after all these years. With a
period-correct drivetrain that features a 389 cubic inch V8 paired
with a 3-speed automatic TH400 transmission that's known for its
dependability, this is a classic car that you can enjoy just as
soon as you bring it home. Responsive power steering makes this
sizable ride easy to navigate, while power brakes offer low-effort
stops. You just don't see all that many Catalinas on the road these
days and, with its distinctive style and ultra-appealing exterior
shade, this is a car that will have no trouble grabbing attention
right off the bat. With a little work - none of it too terribly
involved - it can be transformed into an absolute showstopper.
