Description : Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to present this 1960 Pontiac Catalina 389!
The current owner and seller purchased the vehicle from the south a few years ago and has enjoyed it as one of many in a collection for the last 3 years. Although there is not documentation available, a case could be made for original mileage.
The vehicle was driven at highway speed for over 200 miles prior to being consigned with us, and is in fine order. The wheels of course are not original but compliment the styling nicely. The coil springs were cut slightly to lower the ride height and the car handled it incredibly well.
The slightly lower stance with the modern big wheels looks amazing! Sitting still or rolling through the streets, the car scream style and class. This is A LOT of car on the more entry level of pricing for classics. Don't miss out! Pontiac values seem to only be going in one direction!
This 1960 Pontiac Catalina 389is offered by the St. Louis sales staff and can be seen in full detail on our website. Our listing all include 100+ HD photos and a detailed video! GatewayClassicCars.com
