1977 Pontiac Catalina review from North America
"The most dependable thing you'll ever come across"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Carburettor.
Timing belt.
General comments?
Extremely reliable and a real blast to drive. I really miss it.
One helpful hint - if the transmission starts slipping get it fixed. I blew the engine because I didn't get it seen to soon enough - MY FAULT!
