Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Indianapolis is proud to present this long, long, impossibly long, 'are we there yet' long Chocolate Brown, 1972 Pontiac Catalina with a ferocious 400 V8! The engine had to be big to power this beast down the street, because calling this car 'full size' is like calling the Grand Canyon a dent in the ground! Do you want roomy, as in shoulder to shoulder, over your head, around your legs, or for that tiny speck sitting way, way, way at the other end of the front bench seat roomy? This is the one! And this car doesn't only have size, it has style and substance; from the impact 'cushion boxed' designed front bumper, energy absorbing steering wheel to a formal front hood line and sculpted grill, this majestic machine is a grand example of modern mans love of creating things of beauty. But all of that, still isn't the best part of this amazing automobile; unfurl the sails because this land yacht is a one family owned ride with just 28K miles! This car is so crisp the original white wall tires are in the trunk, with 4 new traditional tires put on just to bring her in to the showroom!
