1967 Pontiac Catalina 2+2
Production totaled 1,768 units, making the 1967 Catalina 2+2 one of the rarest iterations of Pontiac’s full-size performance lineup. After being a standalone model in 1964 and 1965, the 2+2 returned to option-package status on the Catalina for 1966 and remained so for 1967, as buyer interest shifted toward lighter intermediate muscle cars.
Of the total produced, 286 were convertibles, with the remaining 1,482 built as two-door hardtop coupes. A relatively small subset was equipped with the top-performance drivetrain, as approximately 385 cars combined the 428 H.O. V-8 with a four-speed manual transmission.
The redesigned 1967 body featured more rounded contours, fuller fastback-style rooflines on hardtop models, and concealed windshield wipers. Distinctive 2+2 trim elements, including louvers and specific badging, set the package apart from standard Catalinas.
Heavy-duty suspension components were standard, including stiffer springs, upgraded shock absorbers, and thicker anti-roll bars, giving the large Pontiac noticeably improved handling compared to regular full-size models.
Power came standard from Pontiac’s 428 cubic inch V-8 rated at 360 horsepower. The optional 428 H.O. engine, marketed as Quadra-Power, used triple two-barrel carburetors and was rated at 376 horsepower with 472 lb-ft of torque.
Front disc brakes became available for the first time on full-size Pontiacs in 1967, though they were rarely specified and most 2+2s retained four-wheel drum brakes.
