This stunning car definitely turns heads with its beautiful two tone color scheme and classic lines and style. It offers the soft, spacious, comfortable ride that large 60s American cars perfected, along with the power of the Pontiac 389 used in muscle cars. It handles well, steers accurately and brakes smoothly with no pull.It is a true time machine. It can be driven and enjoyed with no necessary work. Or, it offers the possibility of conversion into a spectacular show car without extraordinary rebuilding and restoration. It has the benefit of not being driven, wrecked or ruined by rust or amateurish restorations and alterations over the last 55 years.The provenance of the car is that up until 5 years ago it was owned and maintained with pride by a family in Pennsylvania that had a Pontiac dealership. I bought it 5 years ago and have driven it a few hundred miles. Relocation forces me to part with this wonderful car.For anyone interested in mid 60s Catalinas, this is a rare opportunity.Available for inspection and test drive in Milford, Ohio.
