1967 Pontiac Catalina 2-Door Sport Coupe

This 1967 Pontiac Catalina 2-Door Sport Coupe is a genuine garage find and a worthwhile project for the Pontiac enthusiast or seasoned restorer. It was reportedly fully restored in 2008, driven very little, and then parked in a garage, where it has sat untouched for nearly 18 years. The Catalina still wears its handsome late-1960s full-size Pontiac lines, very good paint, a solid body, and an exceptionally clean interior. It is not a turnkey driver or a concours car. It is a non-running project that needs a thorough recommissioning before it returns to the road. For the right owner, it offers a strong starting point and a chance to bring a distinctive piece of Pontiac heritage back to life.

Engine & Transmission

Believed to have originally been equipped with a 400ci V8 and a 2-barrel carburetor
The 400 was new to Pontiac’s lineup for 1967, replacing the long-running 389
Carburetor setup upgraded to a 4-barrel configuration during the reported 2008 restoration
Engine has not been started or turned over since the car was stored
Current mechanical condition has not been verified
Battery is dead, and old fuel remains in the tank
Single exhaust system

Exterior

Paint remains in very good condition overall
Solid body that presents well for a long-stored car
Noticeable dent in the driver’s-side rear quarter panel that will need repair
Classic full-size Pontiac styling with plenty of period presence
Extra set of classic hubcaps included
New side mirror included
Tires are currently flat

Interior

Exceptionally clean, well-preserved interior
Seating surfaces free of rips or tears
Complete and attractive cabin
Crack in the passenger side of the dashboard, consistent with the car’s age
Very clean trunk, with no obvious evidence of rodent or pest activity reported during storage

Suspension & Chassis

Undercarriage appears solid, with surface rust evident
Brake drums are currently frozen or seized
Seized brakes and flat tires prevent the car from rolling freely in neutral
After nearly 18 years in storage, plan on a full recommissioning, including the engine, fuel system, brakes and brake lines, cooling system, tires, electrical components, and all safety-related systems

Additional Info

69,936 miles indicated
Reportedly fully restored in 2008, then driven very little before storage
Sold as-is as a non-running project. It must be thoroughly inspected and recommissioned before any attempt to drive it
Includes a collection of parts: original factory carburetor, brand-new Holley carburetor, air intake and top mount, new side mirror, and an extra set of classic hubcaps
Part of an estate sale, with a clean title in hand and the proper legal paperwork for easy transfer
Important pickup information: The car sits inside a garage with its front end under a house-extension overhang, so the hood cannot be opened until the car is moved outside
Loading requirements: Because the brake drums are seized, the Catalina cannot simply be rolled onto a trailer. Please arrive with a trailer equipped with a winch, wheel dollies, or suitable recovery equipment to extract and load the car safely
