1965 Pontiac Catalina Ventura

Description

Not many classics can match the overall significance this 1965 Pontiac Catalina Ventura has had for its nameplate. Like many cars from the '60s, the Catalina started out as a trim package before venturing out on its own as a stand-alone model. It met with quite an enthusiastic response upon its release, which prompted Pontiac to not only stick with the Catalina, but also give it a thorough restyling the very year this '65 rolled out, and it would go on to serve as the foundation for a number of other popular Pontiac models. Dressed in Emerald Green paint - a perfect fit for this lengthy classic - it's a great-looking ride, with a generously proportioned wheelbase, gracefully flowing rear roofline, and a low factory stance that remains intact after all these years. With a period-correct drivetrain that features a 389 cubic inch V8 paired with a 3-speed automatic TH400 transmission that's known for its dependability, this is a classic car that you can enjoy just as soon as you bring it home. Responsive power steering makes this sizable ride easy to navigate, while power brakes offer low-effort stops. You just don't see all that many Catalinas on the road these days and, with its distinctive style and ultra-appealing exterior shade, this is a car that will have no trouble grabbing attention right off the bat. With a little work - none of it too terribly involved - it can be transformed into an absolute showstopper.
