Ah, memories. My cousin Greg bought my Uncle Buster’s ’67 Pontiac Catalina back in the early 70’s. I have a lot of memories of being in that big green boat with my cousin behind the wheel and me and my twin brother along for the ride, radio blasting. I remember its comfortable black interior, that wide, curved dash, the partially clear steering wheel, and how smooth it floated down the highway. We had a lot of fun times with that 4-door Catalina (which usually involved Miller High Life 7-ounce Ponies). Just imagine the kind of mischief we could’ve gotten into if Cousin Greg had tooled around little Amelia, Virginia in this ’67 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible (equipped with a 428 under the hood). Super-Spotter, T.J., sent us this highly-original survivor that is located in Fort Myers, Florida. It is listed for sale here on craigslist with an asking price of $54,900.
The first buyer checked all the right boxes on the order form for this one. I’d find the correct air cleaner assembly and leave the rest alone.
Why on such a “highly original” car with an asking price of $54,900 would you install a $30 generic chrome air cleaner assembly. What looks like a fuel pressure regulator and gauge bolted to the firewall looks out of place too. These may seem a bit nit picky, but they point towards expediency and cost savings over thoroughness, if a dealer is asking for top dollar they need to earn it.

I thought the chrome “dress up” kit, which included the rounded open air element was part of the 428 engine package? According to the Seller, this car also came with the “HO” performance option.
I think I’m in love.
….find that Original Air filter housing, please.
What a stunning and highly optioned beauty!
My 1st car, favorite car, was a Ford Custom PI with a 428 – it was a very different and less gorgeous ride. Reallt need that BB to motor around effortlessly. Funny, it came from factory with open filter assembly.
This is the best of the best, condition-care-options-desireability.
Would love to care for this one!
The elephant in the room is price. Gosh it’s such a nice car. That price is 20 years away. I’d stare at it a bit longer
Is the tape player an 8-track?
It looks to me like an 8 track! What a gorgeous car! NOTHING to dislike about this car other than the price.
Nice, but IMO not $55K nice.
it’s a nice poncho convert. i think that parts of it are original but the underside and the motor have had work done to make them look the way they do. the paint has too much gloss for GMs MAGIC MIRRIOR FINISH from 67. 55k is stiff number. if they want price that take it to B/J palm beach. plenty of booze and bidders.
Absolutely gorgeous car, but a convertible with a black interior is a non-starter for me.
But, but it has air conditioning! It might take awhile to cool down that cabin though.
Ron. I had a 67 Catalina 2 dr hardtop tan with black v/top. That was one of my favorite cars of all times. I traded it for a ’68 GTO and missed that Catalina for a very long time.
Loved the GTO as I loved all the 60s Pontiacs and I had a bunch of them.
Wish I had one today.
Wish they had showed a picture from the side. It would reveal how massive this vehicle is.
I was always intrigued by the unusual headlight-grille design… and always loved the look! This model’s design seemed to be just the car that the Green Hornet would drive. Absolutely gorgeous car with all the greatest options added.
I have a question and hope some member of our tribe can answer.
I was under the impression all of the full sized Pontiac body style had Astro Ventilation. I noticed this has vent windows. Does it have firewall ventilation too? Was the Astro Ventilation only on the Grand Prix? I had a friend who’s dad had one. First time I saw that ’67 Grand Prix I was in love, but now, it just doesn’t seem that special.
Astro was 1968 on up, I think. Mom has a ’67 Executive wagon and it didn’t have astro ventilation.
Ditto on the air cleaner JW.
It may be the light or shadows, but I believe it is actually Montego Cream (paint code T) in color.
Nicely equipped…Custom gauge cluster option, 4 speed, and electric rear sweep back antenna (always good for a couple extra mph, right?) would put it over the top.
Doesn’t get any better than a loaded ’60’s B Body Poncho.
Looks like it’s well kept. Isn’t that a bargain?
Looks like an amazing car, ordered perfectly when new.
Unfortunately ’67’s just don’t bring anywhere near that kind of money. Full size Pontiac’s are the best looking and driving of the ’60’s (IMHO), and this car would among the best. But it’s just not worth this price
What a sharp cruiser! Drop top desirability here in Midwest drying up as fall coming but still plenty of time IMHO. I might offer 40 if I was in the market.
The Hagerty valuation for this car in concours condition is between $54,433 and $60,167. Not saying I think this car is in concours condition, just stating what the Hagerty valuation is. If it’s in #2 condition their value is between $40,867 and $51,567.
What an amazing car and to look this nice never being restored. Compared to that 1975 Buick pace car I would hands down bye this Pontiac for $20,000 less for a much nicer car.
