1977 Pontiac Catalina review from North America
"A great car for Pontiac lovers."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My engine gave out on me just under 300,000 miles.
The top of the back seat has started to wear down over the years from sun and water.
The vinyl top had to be replaced a third time. Due to time weather and age.
I had the transmission rebuild right after 200,000 miles.
General comments?
I love this car it handles like a dream and has never let me down.
I will always cherish this car.
When I was in High School people with ther fancy new cars would always try to race. Then get all upset when I would leave them in the dust.
The cabin is very roomy and the seats are like big comfertable couches.
