@Nikkodemis The Pontiac 2+2 was a full size high performance automobile manufactured by Pontiac Motor Division. It debuted in 1964 as an interior trim option for the Pontiac Catalina, with special door panels, buckets seats and center console. Pontiac marketed the 2+2 as the "big brother" to the popular Pontiac GTO.[1]
@Nikkodemis Beginning in 1965, 2+2 became a standalone model, and the name Catalina was no longer found on the car. The 2+2 was given the 421 cubic inch power plant, dual exhaust, heavy duty front springs as well as its own outer body trim appointments. It officially became its own series in 1966,[2] on the same platform, but reverted again to an option in 1967[3] and was discontinued in the United States the same year due to poor sales. It continued as a series in Canada until 1970.
I had a nice red one, ...a 1966 red 2 + 2 convertible. I bought it in 1967 for $2,100. Had about 20k on it. It was a tripower 356 hp version, but I had it bored .60 over with 12.5 pistons, and a crane cam. I still dream about the car sometimes, ...no kidding, ...and I'm 71.
I have a '66 Pontiac Ventura....has original 389.
