I AM SELLING MY 1965 PONTIAC CATALINA VENURA OPTION CAR. I AM THE THIRD OWNER. IT IS NOT PERFECT BUT REAL NICE. I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM AN COUPLE WHO TOOK THE CAR TO CAR SHOWS ALL OVER AND WERE PROUD OF HER. THE HUSBAND HAD GOTTEN SICK AND HE COULDNT DRIVE THE CAR ANYMORE TO ENJOY. IT SAT IN THEIR BACKYARD FOR MANY YEARS TIL THEIR DAUGHTER LISTED IT FOR THEM. WHEN I GOT THE CAR I HAD TO TAKE OUT THE GAS TANK TO GET RID OF THE OLD GAS. I REPLACED THE TRUNK PAN CAUSE IT HAD HOLES FROM SITTING. I CHANGED OUT THE CAEB AND INTAKE TO A HOLLEY ELECTRIC CHOKE AND ALUMINUM EDLEBROCK INTAKE. I WASNT ABOUT TO MESS AROUND TRYING REBUILD THE OLD ONE. THE FENDERS HAD RUST ON THE LOWER BOTTOM CORNER WHICH WAS FIXED. THE CAR HAS 51000 ORIGINAL MILES AND RUNS AND DRIVES LIKE MILEAGE SHOWING. IT IS MY SOMEWHAT MY DAILY DRIVER RIGHT NOW. I LOVE TO DRIVE IT CAUSE OF ALL THE COMPLIMENTS I GET. THE RIMS ARE 15'' CRAGAR RIMS AND OVERSIZED TIRES. I DIDNT CHANGE THE TIRES CAUSE THEY WERE IN BRAND NEW CONDITION WHEN I GOT THE CAR SO I LEFT THEM AND STILL LOOK LIKE IT NOW.PLENTY OF TREAD. I WOULD DRIVE THIS CAR ANYWHERE. I'VE DRIVEN IT TO IOWA IN THE SUMMER TO SEE A BUDDY OF MINE AND HAVE PICS OF ME AND THE CAR AT THE TRUCK STOP. IT HAS THE 389 V8 ENGINE. BLACK SEATS WITH NO RIPS. THE CARPET IS IN REAL GOOD CONDITION AND IT DOESN'T SMELL MUSTY ON THE INSIDE. ALL IS ORIGINAL WITH NO AFTERMARKET RADIO OR CUT OUTS. IT HAS AN AM RADIO HEAT WORKS GOOD. ALL GLASS IS FREE FROM CRACK AND ALL WINDOWS ROLL UP AND DOWN FINE. I HAD GREASE THE TRACKS WHEN I FIRST GOT HER. ALL LIGHTS WORK FINE. DRUM BRAKES STOP EXCELLENT. I MIGHT BE MISSING SOMETHING BUT IF I REMEMBER I WILL POST IT ASAP. THE REASON IM SELLING HER IS A FRIEND OF MINE HAD A FRIEND THAT PAINTS CARS. SHE WAS ALL RIGHT TO ME EXCEPT SOME SUN FADE FROM SITTING. HE CONVINCED ME TO GET A NEW PAINT JOB AND LET HIS FRIEND DO IT. SO I DID. I WENT WITH THE ORIGINAL NAVY BLUE THAT WAS ON CAR. IT ALMOST LOOKS BLACK. SEE PICS. SO THEY CALLED AND SAID THE CAR WAS PAINTED BUT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WAS MY CAR IS LIKE 21 FEET LONG AND HIS GARAGE WASN'T LONG ENOUGH. SO SOME SMALL DUST PARTICLES GOT CAUGHT IN THE PAINT, AND ARE VISIBLE IF YOU LOOK AT CERTAIN SPOT ON AN ANGLE. IT IS REAL SHINY BUT VERY DISAPPOINTING. I WASN'T GOING TO PAY FOR IT CAUSE IT WASN'T WHAT I WAS EXPECTING. SO AS YOU KNOW THINGS DIDN'T GO GOOD. IT LOOKS REAL GOOD AT ABOUT 5 FEET AWAY BUT IF YOU GET REAL CLOSE YOU CAN TELL. I'VE BEEN DRIVING HER BUT IT BOTHERS ME. SO I DECIDED TO SELL HER SO SOMEONE ELSE CAN ENJOY HER LIKE I DID BEFORE THE PAINT JOB. ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK. I WORK KINDA LATE SO PICKUP WILL HAVE TO BE SOMETIME IN THE EVENINGS. SO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO DO SO.
