World-class. Could compete in the world’s best Concours d'Elegance events.
The prototype for Pontiac's take on the concept initiated by the Ford Ranchero and Chevy El Camino, but never put into production. After being discarded when the model didn't go into production, the El Catalina was used as a delivery vehicle at a Pontiac dealership and as college transportation for the manager's son. Subsequently restored to way better than new and still gorgeous. Fresh, documented and repeated show award winning restoration of this truly unique car. A real labor of love and better than it ever was when it was just a prototype, not to mention a parts runner.
Market commentary
Any guess about the value of this car-truck is as good as any other, but apparently this isn't enough to satisfy the seller. It will be informative to see if it shows up again, and at what bid it brings.
