Pontiac Catalina 1972
General description :
ABOUT THIS CLASSICThis 1972 Pontiac Catalina Coupe just arrived out of sunny Florida.Our Catalina shows no rust what so ever on body or undercarriage. All electrics are in good working order. The light yellow paint of this car is in very good shape. The brown leather interior was completely reupholstered a short while ago. This Catalina started out its life as a regular 400 Coupe but the former owner thought the car needed something more.In that retrospect he had the car fitted with 454 Big block engine which gives the car some serious power. The 4 speed automatic gearbox makes sure the car is still comfortable to drive.I short a perfect example of seventies Americana that is loads of fun to drive. Call 0031623679846 for more information.
