67 2+2 428 info

[gnick62]

A friend of mine has a 67 2+2 black 4 speed that he ordered new.
I told him to get it PHS documented and he's waiting for the info.
It has 32,000 miles on it . It's always garaged and well taken care of. He dosn't drive it very much (700 miles in the last 4 years).
Bucky told me he's thinking of selling it in the spring and might sell it if he gets his price 25k.I'm a Pontiac lover, i have a #2 57 Starchief 2 dr. ht. 4barrel with 38,000 miles. I told him i am interested and give me first crack at it. 8 years ago he had it painted (down to bare metal) by one of the best paint guys in this neck of the woods. Not a flaw in it, deep and shinny. Last year he had the engine bay detailed. No 8 lugs has Cragers.
Vin is 252877P239075
I read some were they made 1768 67 2+2. How many were 4 speeds?
Is this black 4 speed 2+2, 1 of less then 400? I am very excited
about the chance to buy this car. Maybe i can get it for 20k you never know. George in Rochester,NY Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm looking at the numbers for '67. You're correct in that 1768 were built with the 2+2 option with no body style breakout available. Of the 211,405 Catalina's built that year 3653 had synchromesh and 207,752 had Turbo Hydromatics.

The 3653 would count for both 3 spd and 4 spd cars, that's 1.7% were manual. If you take the average of 3653 @ 1.7% that would guestimate apporximately 62 2+2 were built with manual transmission (both 3 spd and 4 spd), which I'd say that probably 75% of them would me the 4spd (just makes sense) so that puts the numbers at about 46 of them were 4spd cars.

Either way, chances are good it's pretty rare.
