 ARE WE THERE YET?

You won't hear that phrase this summer if you're driving this classic Catalina wagon!! Put the kids in the 3rd row rear-facing seat and chances are you won't hear them for the duration of the trip because they will be so fascinated with the whole experience!

This is a good ole' original survivor-type car. A well-kept and well-maintained example right out of southern California until I purchased it last year. Repainted once in it's original color of Mayfair Maize, it sports it's original Black morrokide vinyl interior in excellent condition. 150,000 documented miles but looks and drives and acts like 50,000. Nicely equipped with optional 428 four barrel 360hp engine, Turbo-Hydramatic transmission,Soft-Ray Tinted Glass All Windows, Air Conditioning, Power Steering, Power Disc Brakes, Power Windows including rear window, AM Radio with 8-track Player and Rally II Wheels with new P255/70R15 BFGoodrich Radial TA tires. Updates to the suspension include ADDCO 1 1/8 inch diameter sway bars front and rear, also aftermarket boxed rear control arms with polyurethane bushings.This car handles as well as a stock 1970 GTO!

The body is in excellent original condition with all it's original sheetmetal and is rustfree! Underbody, floors and frame are as solid as the day they were manufactured.No collision damage, rust repairs or other structural problems are evident.Paint is respectable for an older repaint but not perfect. It's a five-footer, a car you can drive to a local cruise nite or down to the local mall and not worry about it. There are some small stone chips, dings,nicks and scratches as you would expect.

The 428 purrs like a kitten and starts up every time now that I installed new Delco battery cables, starter motor and a new battery! I also upgraded the engine compartment wiring harness with a new one from M&H and a new correct internally-regulated 70amp alternator with correct 69 housings.New halogen sealed-beam headlamps and other newer parts such as hoses, belts,dual exhaust system, radiator, brake shoes, pads.Also all four new ACDelco Shock Absorbers with adjustable Super-lift air shocks in rear.

All the options work properly including the Air Conditioning.The AC blows cold but I suspect it could use a recharge because it's not as cold as my other Pontiac, which is fully charged.Hi-blower relay needs replaced,too.Sometimes you have to press on the window switches to make them work.I added new Pontiac floor mats over the original carpeting, which is in great condition. I also purchased an original 69 Pontiac AM/FM Stereo Radio but have not installed it.It is included with the purchase of the car. As well, I will throw in an original Power Bench Seat track and motors setup I bought for the car but never installed.

Overall, the car is a great driver, both looks and performance wise. It receives attention everywhere it goes! It's a good ole' reliable Pontiac that I bought last year to possibly tow a small camper trailer and use as a reliable summer vacation car. The trailer I purchased is much too large for this vehicle so I bought a truck to pull it.

The buy now price is just under what I have into it and the reserve slightly less than that so please don't waste any time with low-ball offers.Thanks for looking at my auction!
