Up for sale is a great condition 1967 Catalina Station Wagon. This car spent its entire life in the highplanes desert of LovelandColorado where it rested in a garage away from the sun. This Poncho was originally purchased from Nick Davidson Inc in Loveland Co (Now Davidson-Gebhart) back on 6/27/67 by the owner that I purchased it from who also lived in Loveland Co. I have photos of the original title from 1967 current title is clear and in my name now. This car has not been registered since 1991 and was properly stored since that time.
The more you look at the car the more amazed you will be at the condition. The bottoms of the doors are perfect the tail gate is excellent and the underside is as good as you will find for a 48 year old car. In fact this car was being put together almost exactly 48 years ago at this time. The date code on the Alternator is 7D12 (April 12 1967) The carb is dated E7 (May 1967) The heads are dated E237 andE247 (May 23 & 24 1967)Theinvoice date on the PHS is June 7th of 1967. You will find that all the weather striping is in great condition and very soft as well as the dash door panels seats and most all of this car. I see a lot of cars that sell and need so much work but to be honest this one does not "need" anything. This car was certainly not kept in avacuumfor its life it was driven and loved. It has some chips scratches a dent on the left quarter/dog leg area (photos in the photo bucket file) but none of it is so bad that I woulddo a repaint considering the originality of the car. This is not a perfect car but could be on of the nicest original 67 wagons out there and honestly the minor defects that it does have simply prove that this is as original as claimed. The engine compartment is original and was not repainted. Notice the paint still on the frame rails and the condition of the brake booster wiper motor carb air cleaner and the heads simply have heat transfer to the paint and are not rusty. Same with the exterior and the interior. The dash pad is soft and no sighs of cracks the chrome on the dash is perfect the rally gauges work as well as all the lights and this one still has the paint code fuses and the bare metal pieces under the dash are as clean as I have seen. This car has all 4 T3headlights and almost allthe claims in the engine are still there. You can call it a barn find if you want asthis car was put up in 1991 and was taken care of. When I picked up the car it was empty of gas and was stored away properly. I simply checked it out added gas changed the tires and drove it around. This car starts runs stops and rides like it should.

I purchased this car so that I could take my family to car shows church and out for a Sunday drive for Ice Cream. We have not had the car long and did not plan to sell but have decided to push to get my 65 Catalina completed. I figure that if I do not do this now the 65 will end up taking several more years and I need to prioritize my garage a little better. In the last month I have put on 390 miles on this car replaced one fuel hose (from the hard line to the pump) replaced spark plugs and wires. (wires are still with the car spark plugs were not original) replaced the rear viewmirror with on that I had went through several tanks of fuel had the paint buffed out cleaned under the hood and the interior. As I said the car needs nothing but if I were to keep it longer I would likely clean and detail the underside more andmaybe add a 3rd row seat.As with most Pontiacs this one does dripoilafter returningfrom a drive. Not enough toconsider pulling the engine but about a qtr sizeafter a few days so very minor. I do not need to sell this car it would simply help to fund the restoration that I have been working on for the past 4 years and am sure to look back and regret letting this one go.
