Used 1969 Pontiac Catalina for sale in Englewood, Colorado
Gateway Classic Cars of Denver welcomes this 1969 Pontiac Catalina. A little history ,The name Catalina was first used on the 1950 Chieftain Series 25/27 Hardtop, Pontiacs top trim level package at the time, and later added to the Star Chief in 1954, Pontiacs equivalent of the Chevrolet Bel Air. The 1969 Pontiacs received a major restyling with somewhat more squared off Sheet metal (though not as much as similar cars from other GM divisions) and rooflines, the coke bottle rear flanks were gone. However, the basic 1965 chassis, inner-body structure and four-door pillared sedan roofline were retained although vent windows were dropped on all models and Safari wagons got a new two-way tailgate that could be opened to the side like a door or downward like a tailgate - similar in design to that introduced by Ford Motor Company on Ford/Mercury wagons in 1966. Catalinas also got a one-inch wheelbase increase to 122. Headrests became standard on all 69 Pontiacs built after January 1. All 1969 GM cars (except the Corvair) got a new locking steering column that would become a Federal requirement starting with the 1970 models. Variable-ratio power steering was a new option this year ( pioneered by Cadillac in 1966 ) and front disc brakes were now automatically included when the power brake option was ordered. Engine offerings consisted of a standard 290-horsepower 400 two-barrel (or no-cost optional regular-fuel 265-horsepower 400 with Turbo Hydra-matic transmission), 330-horsepower 400 four-barrel, 370-horsepower 428 four-barrel or the 428 HO rated at 390 horses. The standard three-speed manual transmission and optional three-speed Turbo Hydra-matic were continued as before, but the four-speed manual with Hurst shifter was dropped from the option list. (Source Wikipedia) This Pontiac Wide Track Catalina does have the 400 C.I. with the 400 Turbo Trans., the Pontiac T Traction, which would allow it to peg the speed-O to where the bugs dont have time to say “OH N-!“. This highway cruiser, with Leather/ Vinyl seats, does have A/C (needs a recharge) Heater, and Power Steering and Power Brakes, and it just glides along at speed.
