1973 Pontiac Catalina for sale… There are so many GREAT things about this car – but let’s get the “business” stuff out of the way first! BUSINESS STUFF: Please only bid if you have the funds. If you have less than 10 feedback, or less than 100% feedback as a buyer, please email first for permission to bid. Otherwise, I will cancel your bid. Just email me for the OK.Car is for sale locally for $5500. I am setting the no-reserve price at $1999. I would consider trades in the following manner: $1500 cash + a trade. I would be interested in cars, boats, and maybe….try me! Just contact me if you are interested in that, but understand that transportation of the Catalina and / or any trade is up to you. Thanks! THE CAR: Ok, the fun part! 1973 Catalina, 400 engine, 4 bbl carburetor, 91,000 original miles, hard top 2 door, stock. First the car has: - Totally new interior – seats, carpet, shoulder strap seat belts - Newer tires (less than 2,000 miles, whitewall, of course!) - New paint (nice paint job, check it out!) - New vinyl top = very nice! - New battery - Newer exhaust - Lots of newer parts, even wipers and fuzzy dice! - It runs great, drives great, sounds great, stops great - All lights work, all gauges work (except the clock!) - Spare tire & new trunk carpet too! - Great 400ci engine, strong and throaty, fun to drive - Automatic transmission, shifts seamlessly The not-so-good-stuff: - The radio (original) doesn’t work - There is no visible surface rust (had this cut out & replaced with metal), but there is some rust through ONLY on the rear underside into the trunk…nothing scary at all, not structural, not visible - The driver’s side door doesn’t lock. More specifically, it DOES lock, but won’t unlock! Not a tough fix, I just haven’t fixed it yet!- The chrome on the front & rear bumpers is flaking and has some surface rust - The car is not show quality at all, I call it a 5 foot car…from 5 or more feet, people say WOW! From less than 5’, you will see imperfections. Hell, I’m 1 year older than the car, and Lord knows I have imperfections too! Ha! A few dents / dings, a few minor things - there's no way to note every little issue with a daily driver car like this that is 39 years old! But overall....a nice impression car. So, for the money, you get a really nice looking hard top classic Catalina, in great mechanical and good shape inside and out – no project here, ready to drive right now as a cool daily driver, or for cruise-ins or the beach! Last note here: If you are still reading, that is a good sign, right? I am reasonable and motivated. My wife and I are going to Ireland at the end of August, and I want this cash for the trip. I’m asking $5500 cash locally– if you live close, come see it, drive it, make me an offer. I’m not dumb, I know what the car is worth….but I’m not dumb, and I know that cash talks and BS walks. Possible trades - but fair offers only with $1500+ cash please.*** Yes, I have CLEAR Title, in my hand, ready to sell!**** Misc info: This car is similar to: Mustang, Camaro, Caprice, Chevelle, antique, Mach, classic car, muscle car, firebird, Trans Am, street legal, fast back, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, reliable, fast, hot rod, street rod, 73, Grand Prix, le mans, grand am, big block, etc.
