Exterior and Interior
The exterior of this 1965 Pontiac Catalina Convertible is finished in Montero Red and complemented by a white power-operated convertible soft top that creates a timeless color combination. Pontiac’s stacked headlamps, wide split grille, flowing body lines, and bright chrome trim give the Catalina an unmistakable presence, while factory wheel covers wrapped in whitewall tires preserve its period-correct appearance. Whether the top is raised or lowered, this Catalina captures the effortless style of mid-1960s American motoring. The interior of this 1965 Pontiac Catalina Convertible is upholstered in matching red and retains the spacious layout expected from a full-size Pontiac. A front bench seat provides ample room for passengers, while the wood-rim steering wheel, factory instrumentation, and push-button AM radio reinforce the car’s authentic character. The floor-mounted shifter adds a sporting touch, giving the driver a more connected experience behind the wheel.

Equipped with power steering and power brakes, this Catalina offers an enjoyable balance of classic V8 performance and comfortable drivability. Whether cruising with the top down or rowing through the gears on a scenic back road, this Catalina delivers the unmistakable sound and character that helped establish Pontiac as one of the premier performance brands of the 1960s.

The Catalina nameplate in Pontiac nomenclature initially represented a top-level trim for the existing Chieftain Eight and DeLuxe Eight models. However, as we’ve seen many times before with American manufacturers, trim levels have been spun off as separate models. For the Catalina, this happened in 1959, offered as a two-door coupe, convertible, four-door sedan and station wagon. Today, the Catalina may not be at the top of every classic car collector’s list because not everyone remembers it, but it’s definitely an appealing choice for someone who wants to diverge from the crowd. This particular 1964 Pontiac Catalina is a four-door sedan hailing from Ballston Spa, New York, and comes with the original spare tire plus original bill of sale and even the original manual. Having traveled 77,421 miles so far, it’s ready for a new owner who will look after it and cherish it as it deserves. If that’s you, get in touch with us ASAP.
The 2009 Pontiac G8 GT Sedan is one of the more memorable performance sedans from Pontiac’s final years, combining understated four-door styling with the kind of rear-wheel-drive V8 layout enthusiasts still seek today. Showing approximately 50,459 miles, this example is finished in Liquid Red over an Onyx/Red leather interior and is equipped with both the Premium Package and Sport Package. Its 6.0L naturally aspirated V8, 6-speed automatic transmission, 19-inch machine-faced wheels, and performance-oriented interior details give it a strong blend of everyday usability and muscle-car character.
The 2009 Pontiac Solstice Coupe is one of the more distinctive enthusiast cars to emerge from Pontiac’s final years, combining the compact proportions of the Solstice roadster with a fixed-roof coupe body and removable targa-style roof panel. Showing approximately 67,000 miles, this example is finished in Victory Red over an Ebony interior with two-tone red and black seating. Its naturally aspirated 2.4L Ecotec four-cylinder engine is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, giving it the simple, lightweight sports-car formula that made the Solstice appealing when new. The coupe body style is also far less common than the roadster, adding an extra layer of interest for collectors and Pontiac enthusiasts.
This 1968 Pontiac Firebird Convertible Pro Street is a full-on blown street machine that takes first-generation Firebird styling and turns the aggression up considerably. Showing approximately 53,397 miles, this example is powered by a seller-reported 389ci supercharged V8 based on a Pontiac 350 block, topped by a 6-71 Roots-type blower and dual Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetors. Power is sent through a TH400 3-speed automatic to a 12-bolt rear end with 3.73 gearing and Positraction. Finished in Blue with custom flame graphics over a Black interior and topped with a white convertible soft top, this Firebird combines classic open-air muscle with unmistakable Pro Street attitude.
This 1956 Chevrolet 150 Restomod is a clean Tri-Five build with the kind of mechanical and cosmetic upgrades that make these cars genuinely fun to drive. Showing approximately 3,050 miles, it features a custom Green and White paint job over a reupholstered Brown leather interior and is powered by a 383ci Summit Racing crate V8 paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The engine has been positioned 1.5 inches forward, while Sanderson headers, a 3.90 Posi-Traction rear end, power-assisted disc brakes, electric cooling, and an aluminum radiator give the car a far more capable setup than a stock 150. Add Dakota Digital gauges, air conditioning, a trunk-mounted battery, 17-inch mag wheels, and an upgraded sound system, and this is a well-rounded restomod that blends classic Tri-Five style with much more modern road manners.
This 1957 Buick Roadmaster Riviera 2-Door Hardtop is pure late-1950s American excess in the best possible way, combining dramatic Harley Earl-era styling with the torque-rich character of Buick’s Nailhead V8.

Its 364ci Nailhead V8 was overhauled, the Dynaflow automatic was rebuilt, and the car was later upgraded with an Air Lift Performance air suspension system. Add in power steering, power brakes, power windows, a power front bench seat, Hot Rod Air climate control, and wide whitewalls, and this Roadmaster delivers the extravagant look of a flagship ’50s Buick with a few thoughtful upgrades that make it even more enjoyable today.
This 1971 Dodge Charger Restomod Super Bee Tribute brings together the aggressive third-generation Charger shape, period-inspired Super Bee styling, and a thoroughly updated big-block drivetrain.
