The 1962 Pontiac Catalina represents a golden era of American
automotive design-where bold styling met serious performance. The
example offered here is far more than just a vintage cruiser; it's
a striking custom build that blends classic Pontiac DNA with
tasteful upgrades and modern drivability. From its stunning pearl
white finish with ghost flames to its fuel-injected 389 V8 and
show-quality interior, this Catalina is the complete package for
collectors, enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates timeless
American muscle with a custom twist. Before we dive into the
details of this stunning Pontiac's exterior, interior, and
powertrain, we'd like to introduce ourselves.

This 1962 Pontiac Catalina is a stunning fusion of vintage elegance
and custom flair. Finished in a radiant pearl white paint accented
by subtle ghost flames, this Catalina delivers timeless style with
a personalized edge. The paintwork is deep and lustrous, offering a
modern twist on a classic body style that's instantly recognizable
with its sleek lines and low, muscular profile. All chrome and
stainless trim show beautifully, from the shining front and rear
bumpers to the delicate window moldings and iconic split grille.
The side profile is set off by polished American Racing-style
wheels wrapped in white-letter Uniroyal Tiger Paw GTS tires,
offering both performance and period-correct visual punch. Every
angle of this Pontiac has been thoughtfully enhanced to ensure it
stands out whether cruising the strip or parked at a car show.
Inside, the Catalina boasts a beautifully restored blue interior
that remains true to its vintage roots while incorporating tasteful
custom touches. The bench seats are upholstered in high-quality
blue vinyl with detailed stitchwork and custom pinstriping,
complementing the plush blue carpet and matching headliner. The
dash is well-preserved, housing the original-style gauge cluster
accented with auxiliary gauges for performance monitoring. A
wood-rimmed steering wheel adds a touch of classic sophistication,
while the overall layout remains clean and driver-focused. The
trunk is finished in matching blue carpet with custom upholstered
panels and a pinstriped spare cover, creating a show-quality
presentation that echoes the cabin's elegance.
Under the hood, this Catalina is powered by a strong-running 389 V8
engine equipped with FiTech fuel injection for enhanced
reliability, performance, and throttle response. A triple air
cleaner setup crowns the intake for a period-correct performance
look, while the addition of polished valve covers and neatly routed
plumbing reflect the build's high level of detail. Power is
delivered through a Turbo 400 automatic transmission, offering
smooth and dependable shifts ideal for both cruising and spirited
driving. The undercarriage is exceptionally clean and solid,
showcasing dual exhaust with performance mufflers, upgraded
suspension components, and a painted chassis that matches the
overall presentation quality. Power steering and power brakes add
to the drivability, making this Pontiac a pleasure to own and
operate.

drivability. Whether you're looking to add a standout cruiser to
