Vehicle Description
In the 1960s Pontiac made a name for the brand as the source of
powerful muscle cars across its model lineup. Pontiac developed the
full sized Catalina 2+2 as a sporting variant in the larger models
of its lineup and positioned it as the performance big brother of
the highly successful GTO model.
The 2+2 was introduced in 1964 but really took off in 1965 when
Pontiac decided to make the 2+2 its own model based on the all new
B-body style from GM. The Pontiac 2+2 retained the distinctive
Pontiac split grill and stacked quad headlights while new rocker
areas gave the car a "coke bottle" style at the waist. The 2+2 is
identified by twin lens taillights, 2+2 badges on the deck and lid
and rear fenders. "Pontiac 421" badges are found on the front
fenders near the grill.
This example of the 2+2 has only 86,000 original miles.
With the 421 cu. in. V8 motor producing nearly 400 h.p. this big
car can move. The extra power comes from the optional Rochester
Tri-Power carburetor. The engine has been freshened with a new
exhaust system installed four years ago. The car now features a new
four-speed Hurst shifter floor mounted and fitted only two years
ago.
Power brakes and power steering help keep this big beauty under
control.
An original option was the hood mounted tachometer and this was
added 2-years ago.
The car was repainted in a dramatic red color some 4-years ago. The
black interior features the standard bucket seats in front. The
black soft convertible top is powered.
The wheels are the black 8-lug Pontiac hubs set off by a red stripe
on the tires.
This big and powerful muscle car is an imposing reminder of the
glory days of Pontiac.
