FOR SALE IS A 1963 CATALINA CONVERTIBLE. THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN STORED IN A GARAGE WITH THE TOP DOWN SINCE 1999 WHEN THE OWNER PASSED AWAY. OTHER THAN WASH AND VACUUM , TOP OFF THE FLUIDS , AND REPLACE THE BATTERY, I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO THIS CAR. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, IT RUNS EXCELLENT ON THE 12 YEAR OLD GAS THAT WAS LEFT IN THE TANK. I AM HELPING THE OWNER'S WIDOW IN THE SALE OF THE CAR. MECHANICALLY, I WOULD SAY YOU COULD PROBABLY DRIVE THIS CAR ANYWHERE. IT STARTS QUICK, DOESN'T STALL, SHIFTS FINE AND SEEMS TO HAVE GOOD BRAKES. ALL FOUR TIRES WERE JUST ABOUT FLAT WHEN I GOT THE CAR, HOWEVER, THEY HAVE BEEN HOLDING AIR JUST FINE THE LAST 2 WEEKS. THE INTERIOR DOOR PANELS HAVE THE TYPICAL 47 YEAR OLD WARPAGE, YET THE SEATS ARE VERY SERVICEABLE AND PRESENTABLE. THE CONVERTIBLE TOP MOTOR RUNS BUT THE TOP DOESN'T. I HAVE PUT IT UP AND DOWN MANUALLY. THE WHITE BOOT IS IN GREAT SHAPE. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PIX, THE BACK WINDOW STITCHING HAS COME APART BUT THE WINDOW ITSELF IS IN GREAT SHAPE. THE CHROME IS OKAY FOR A DRIVER. THE PAINT WAS RE-DONE SO LONG AGO IT LOOKS LIKE LACQUER THAT IS BEGINNING TO CRACK. THE QUARTERS HAVE BEEN PATCHED AT SOME POINT AND ARE BEGINNING TO BUBBLE. THE FRAME AND FLOOR HAVE SOME WEAK SPOTS AS WELL, HOWEVER, BOTH ARE SERVIVEABLE AS IS. ALL IN ALL, THIS IS NOT THE DESIRABLE GTO OR LEMANS SO IT WOULDN'T BE PRACTICAL TO DO A COMPLETE RESTO. HOWEVER, THIS CAR IS COMPLETE, RUNS DECENT, AND WOULD BE A FUN EVERY DAY SUMMER DRIVER. AS IS ALWAYS THE CASE, THE PHOTOS MAKE THE PAINT AND CHROME APPEAR BETTER THAN THEY REALLY ARE. I AM JUST TRYING TO WARD OFF DISAPPOINTMENT. THIS CAR IS PRESENTABLE BUT IS HAS OLD PAINT AND OLD CHROME!! THE RESERVE IS BELOW FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS SO BID TO OWN. WORTH MORE SO HAVE FUN BIDDING KNOWING YOU WILL BE GETTING A COMPLETE RUNNING EARLY 60'S PONTIAC WITHOUT THE SECONG MORTGAGE ! I CAN STORE FOR A FEW WEEKS IF IT SELLS. THANKS
