Pontiac Catalina Safari 9 Pass. Station Wagon 1962
General description :
It is getting more and more difficult to find these 50`s and 60`s staion wagons. They are gettin g really popular. Buy one while they are still affordable. Almost all original Pontiac wagon. Original paint, original interior, numbers matching engine and upgraded transmission. Drives perfect. No rust anywhere. Only surface patina. This car sat in a barn for 20+ years by the original owner. The grandson inherited it, took it to a shop to have it fixed up and then couldn't pay for the work. Rebuilt 389 (about 3000 miles ago) with a Comp cam and Edelbrock 4 bbl. The wagon now has a rebuilt TH400 trans (shifts perfect) replacing the original and less reliable Hydramatic. It was installed at the same time of the engine rebuild. The wagon has power steering and power brakes. All new fuel lines and brake lines. Fuel tank is fresh. New radiator. New rear diff seals. New exhaust with Flowmasters (with the cam and exhaust combo; the car sounds great). Optima battery. A/C car with everything (including compressor) but not all hooked up. I would do a Vintage Air kit if I was keeping it. It has plenty of power. All oruginal very nice interior, all original åaint with just ight surface rust here and there. Wonderful car.
