Vehicle Description
This 1963 Pontiac Catalina is located in Bradenton, FL 34211 and
offered by a classic car dealer. Not all of Pontiac's muscle cars
were GTO's and Firebirds. The 1963 Pontiac Catalina had the most
powerful standard V8 engines than any of the other brands full
sized cars back in 1963. Pontiac's 1963 Wide-Track lineup cemented
the GM division's reputation as a design trendsetter. Its full-size
cars' reimagined front ends shared an aggressive new look with
vertically stacked headlamps capped by forward-jutting brows, and
Pontiac's trademark split grille. The budget-friendly Catalina was
Pontiac's lowest-price full-size, but it could be optioned to be
competitive on the roads and racetracks of America. Beneath the
hood, power to back up the daring body styling was available for
the asking. There's something special about the 1963 Pontiac
Catalina we have here. It has been made to look like the feared 421
Super Duty race cars of that year and may even have been a race car
too as it has very low mileage showing. Features 1963 Pontiac

Mechanical Pop the hood and see that great powerful 389 cubic inch
V8 engine in ours that has a set of Tri-Power 3-2barrel carbs on it
as well as factory chrome Tri-Power open element air cleaners, air
conditioning, factory chrome valve covers, and backed by an
automatic transmission (originally a four-speed transmission.) The
engine compartment looks factory stock with just routine
maintenance done to it. It still has the Pontiac blue painted
engine block, and intake, factory cast iron exhaust manifolds, air
conditioning, power steering and brakes, and all the other running
gear. It rides on black steel wheels with Pontiac dog dish hubcaps,
black side wall tires, and the addition of the 421 emblems and
Super Duty racing air scoop. The odometer is believed to reflect
the car's actual mileage of 38k, and so that would mean averaging
less than 645 miles annually. This small amount of mileage leads us
to believe it may have had a drag racing past. Interior The
beautiful all-business interior is filled with the basics, from the
radio-delete plate on the dash to the multi-colored vinyl bench
seat and matching rear seat. A tachometer has been added as well as
seat belts with the rest of the interior looking as it did when it
was new in 1963. The preservation level of interior is nice as it
is believed to be highly original, but also exceptionally
presented. The blue/white package retains a deep color with blue
door panels and carpet, great dash, the factory steering wheel that
fits the color theme and has that translucent element that is all
part of that great time capsule feeling. The sales come complete
with owner's manual, warranty cards, and PHS Documentation too.
Exterior The Cameo Ivory (white) paint shows well and was what it
was painted from the factory according to the 1963 correct colors
and draws attention to its straight sheet metal, Super Duty hood
scoop, and doors that close with authority. It
