'66 Catalina 421/4-sp Convertible

[scuncio]

This is nice.... I'm fairly certain we talked about this car last year, but can't find the post.

There seem to be quite a few big-car Pontiac convertibles for sale lately (anecdotally), and a surprisingly high fraction with 4-speed transmissions.

Pretty sloppy of the dealer to take pics of the car in such a dirty state...you know, nothing makes me want to shell out $50k faster than a dusty engine bay and some brown drips around the 421 emblem. Come on, man.

Closer to $60k Tony.

Not knocking the car, but have a couple of questions.

Will a full size Poncho like this really bring that kind of $$$$?

Were they still using the 8 lug wheels in 66? I remember seeing them on early 60's cars, but not this late. But then, I wasn't paying close attention to Pontiacs, even though my mom drove a 66 Catalina four door.

Yes - 8 lug aluminum wheels were still available in '66.

'67 as well.

I'm thinking the one discussed here last year was white, not yellow :confused2:
