Description

There's something special about a full-sized Pontiac. A mixture of big chrome, intricate bodywork, and an imposing stance made them boulevard kings. So when a 1960 Pontiac Catalina sedan with a powerful 389 V8 is up for grabs at such an affordable price, it's time to take notice.

This era where Pontiacs were out to dominate the road with the Wide Track style that made them legendary. The wide wraparound bumpers and headlights pushed to the edges give this a road-owning stance. And the factory-correct Coronado Red has been given a professional respray later in life that includes a hint of a metallic element. So it draws extra attention. This sedan has straight sheetmetal and doors that close with authority. Not only does that give you a quality feel, but it also means you get to really showcase some of the most dramatic parts of the design. For example, the nice bodywork means the full-length trim appears almost like an unbroken line. The headlight housing creates a curved design that runs all the way down the entire sheetmetal profile until it crafts the reverse lights. And above that are tailfins that begin at the rear doors and wrap around the rear to include the taillights. Oh yes, this Pontiac has style!

Inside is a highly correct tan interior with a well preserved/presented style. This comes from the era of presentation when artists were the final word on design. You see it especially in the two-tone door panels, bright trim, and artful dual-spoke steering wheel. And highly stylized dash gives the driver all the proper readouts, and then it quickly tapers off in an artful design that even houses the original AM radio (it's still cranking out tunes!) We know you love how the lower portion is so wide it has room to spell out P-O-N-T-I-A-C. And speaking of wide, there's plenty of room for family and friends. So you get to share this nice presentation any time you want with the two rows of wide bench seats and limo-like legroom.

A big sedan needs a big motor, and that's why it carries a 389 cubic-inch V8. Thanks to their durable construction, Pontiac engines of this vintage are known for their robustness and longevity. But more than just sturdiness, there's plenty of performance lying within this bold blue engine bay. Topped with a Holley four-barrel carburetor the big V8 inhales deeply, and you get all the power to conquer any boulevard. Plus, you'll love the sweet tune from the glasspack-style dual exhaust. And because this want to keep you cruising with ease, there are great driving features, like the three-speed automatic transmission and power brakes.

Complete with owner's manual, it's hard to believe you get this much vintage Pontiac at such an affordable price. But you're not the only one who recognizes a great deal, so hurry up and grab this long and sleek sedan. Call today!!!
