1970 Pontiac Catalina Base 5.7L Air Ride w/Custom 22" Rims

FINAL TIME LISTING
For Sale is my beautiful and clean 1970 Pontiac Catalina on fully adjustable air ride suspension.
Man, hat is clean! Are those wheels factory? Looks like a touring car! These are just a few of the many compliments and inquiries I get on this car. Whether it's driving to the store, r showing her off at the local cruise-in, eople admire the look of this car.
Please go to Youtube and put '70 Pontiac Catalina Bagged 003 in the search to locate the video of this car in action along with a detailed description. Please note; the video was done 23months ago before MANY upgrades were made which are described below. None of the issues mentioned in this video are relavant. Pics in this auction are of it's current state except the last few which depict portions of the restoration process and it's the cars original condition.
Custom 22" Smoothie Wheels and 255/30/22 Pirelli P Zero Nero GT tires. Rims and tires are two months old. Driver rear tire has a small bubble on sidewall (very low profile tires are prone to these), nd the passenger front rim has some curb rash. I am in constant contact with the rim builder, nd can guide you in the right direction to get the rash cleaned up which is purely cosmetic. The rims are solid aluminum with a polished lip. There was also a circular grove created just slightly larger than the Pontiac caps into the face of the wheel so that the caps are slightly recessed. The studs and lugs were upgraded to Moroso racing style units on all hubs. I have an extra Pontiac cap that will come with this package.
Also comes with the factory wheels, ubcaps, nd excellent condition whitewall tires (although one tire has a patch) if you are interested. These must be taken with car at time of delivery.
To my knowledge, o one has done a rim like this with Pontiac caps, specially east of the Mississippi. They are essentially one offs, nd might have been a factory option if they were available with 22" wheels in 1970 ;)
The car; Originally from Western Montana/Northern Idaho, purchased it from what I believe to be the second owner who lives in Kentucky. He purchased it roughly 3 years ago and had it shipped to him. I acquired the car late summer '14, rove it back the 120miles here to Ohio and shortly after found a guy to bring my vision to reality. (Work began at 84,500 original miles) car now has roughly 87,200mi

Pioneer under-dash CD player, ew Pioneer 6x9" rear speakers. Speakers will have to be wired straight to CD player as they are currently wired to the amplifiers in the trunk which will be removed and not included in sale.
Original interior in excellent condition. A slight bit of thread fraying on the passenger side of the front bench seat and rear deck needs reupholstering. No wear in the seats, o cracks in the dash, eadliner in great condition besides a few slight marks (no holes just surface marks 1 maybe 2). Small pea size damage to material on rear passenger door handle. Carpet is in pretty good shape, ust a bit of discoloration from where the rubber mats were. I've never actually detailed the interior during my ownership, ut I still get compliments on it's condition.
A/C compressor put back on belt/charged (previous owner took off belt system). Not sure why maybe to gain a bit of horsepower which alot of people seem to do. Compressor spins freely.
Fuel sending unit fixed (fuel gauge doesn't work). Very common on Pontiac's from this era. Fuel system delivery is fine, nd it has a new pump as indicated above.
Floor high beam switch does not work (purchased a new one a few months ago that was defective). Low beams and and all other lights work fine. One of the reverse light bulbs needs replacing.
Slight leak at bottom of rear window that drips onto truck floor. Bottom of window needs sealant in lower corner.
Some things here and there that a used 45 year old car would need that is driven and enjoyed!
Only BP 93 octane fuel and Valvoline conventional 10w40 has been used in this vehicle
I can't go to the grocery store without multiple people stopping me to ask/compliment me about it. I drive it in it's current condition every chance I get
The car is very unique and everyone loves it including myself. I have entered her in a few car shows and cruise-ins in the past few months, nd have won a few trophies as well. Everyone tells me I did a classy job with it, ot sloppy or over the top, ust right. Everyone slows down and stares at it on the road and freeway, nd I can't lie... I love it! It's just time for me to get something more practical.
Far more invested than the Buy it Now price in just the past 6 months, ut I do realize you never get back what you put in.
