1967 Pontiac 2+2 Convertible in Tyrol Blue with 428 Engine Start Up My Car Story with Lou Costabile 

When I was a kid in Chicago my neighbor bought a 1967 Ventura. I instantly fell in love with that body style. 1968 was also good.

Wow ! 4 speed and front disc brakes with a 428. Incredible.

I graduated from high school in 1967. I remember seeing the 2+2 in the Pontiac brochures from 1964 - 1967. I knew it was going to be a modern classic! Thanks for sharing this beautiful car!

Hi Lou...GM of Canada also made a Pontiac Parisienne 2+2 convertible up until 1970...built on a Chevrolet platform with a 119" wheelbase...

Those 67 Pontiacs are just plain stunning. The design is off the hook. Those were the days.

Beautiful car. I had restored a 67 Bonneville 428 with the eight lug wheels back in the 80's. Was a lot of fun bringing it to the car shows. Which I still had the car.

Boy, that is one unique Pontiac, so beautiful

I always loved the styling of the mid sixties full sized Pontiacs. For me from the late fifties through all of the sixties is when American cars showed a lot of style. I mean you could almost tell a persons personality from the make and model of the car they drove. Or at least what they wanted you to think they were like.

Hey Lou, I was 17 years old when my Dad was a service mngr. at a Pontiac dealer in Defiance, Ohio in 1967. The 2+2 was made for several years ,and they didn't add seven cubic engines just for the 2+2. They made the 428 for all the big Pontiacs for the simple reason ,they didn't make the 421 anymore . The V8's back then were the 350 , 400, and the 428 ,and no tri power carb set up . A single 2 barrel, and single four barrel carburation only. Rochester 2 barrel , and Rochester Quadra jet 4 barrel carbs respectfully.............

All these late 60's/ early 70's body styles were always #1....

When I was 15 my buddy's sister had a 67 Grand Prix with the 4-speed transmission. We had a BLAST in that car. Soooo fun to drive ! These cars are truly incredible.

That was one of my favorite cars at the show.

One of the Most Beautiful Pontiacs I ever seen all the 428 badging made it even more stunning and rare .

Oh that years styling. Remember seeing a VERY rare (in the UK) Pontiac Parisienne from this year, so it's lovely to see this, even snazzier model to remind me of that awesome front end.

My 1st car was the 1967 Pontiac Executive, 2-door hard top, White Body, Black vinyl top, Black interior, 400 engine with Rochester 2-barrel carb. I wish i still had it, brings back some good times !! also back in the early 1980s i had a chance to buy a 1967 Pontiac blue body, 2-door hard top with no engine or trans for $1000. I could kick myself for not buying it ! Pontiac made good cars during the 50s, 60s, & 70s ! Great video thanks for the memories !!!

That car is flat out gorgeous.

True beauty, love that color and a 4 speed so rare for a full sized car, could just imagine driving that with the top down in 68 before the gas shortages, etcc

I had a red '67 Bonneville 2 door with the 400 V8 and hydromatic transmission. Virtually the same car but a 124" hardtop with black vinyl roof with bench seat and drum brakes vs 121" convertible with bucket seats and front disc brakes. Front and rear bumper, and the grille were identical. Bonnevilles had a softer ride and rear tire skirts. The 2+2 was not based on the Bonneville. It's was actually a custom Catalina with the 428 HO engine package and a stiffer suspension for a performance ride. This one is spectacular. Just finding parts must have been a major challenge.

Very nice restoration of a classic 2 + 2. I had a 67 Bonneville 2dr red with the stock 389/400. It was a great car that I got a lot of enjoyment out of. I think I put 40,000 miles on with no problems outside of a brake job and regular oil changes. I wish I had it back today in the same condition it was when I owned it. I got into speed and traded it in for a 69 Chevelle..I owned 4 different models of the big Pontiacs and enjoyed them all and somehow coincidentally they were all solid red ones. Later on I did own a grey and silver downsized 85 grand prix with a factory stock chevy engine. It was ok but nothing like the big real Pontiacs. Again you have a very nice example of Pontiacs best and should be quite proud of it.

Wow, what a beautiful automobile. The paint was obviously applied by an artist. I hate to use a cliche but this one is truly better looking than the day it was delivered. Can you imagine the smoke you could generate from the bias-ply tires used in 1967 LOL? Great video, thank you, Lou.

Really nice cars showcased on your channel Lou. I owned 1964 Catalina (389 4 bbl) and 1963 'StarChief' with same motor. Had the 64' in 1977 when I graduated high school & the 63' around 1982. Always loved the big Pontiac's.

In the '70s a buddy had a Catalina with the 428, 4-speed & bench seat. That had to be a rare car. '67 was the last year for this model. They were made from '64 - '67.

what an absolute masterpiece!!!

The 421 was dropped for all large Pontiac's in 1967. The 428 was not just for the 2+2. It was for all the large Pontiac's. 1966 was the last year for the 421,and the 389 , including the Tri Power set up. My Dad was a Service Manager for the Pontiac/ Cadillac Dealership in Defiance ,Ohio at the time these cars were new .I was sixteen years old at the time ,and worked there part time when I was still in school. This year of car in my opinion was probably one of the nicest looking year of Pontiac's ever built .I don't know how old you are Lou, but if you never took a ride in one of these cars GTO's included when they were brand new , you'll never know that sound ,or that feeling .That is one fine absolutely gorgeous Pontiac. None of the GM line sold as well as the Chevrolet cars at that time,or at any time for that matter. Chevrolet had those sales pretty well sewed up however , all of them were a helluva lot better looking than the Chevy's. End of story !

beautiful car. work of art

The owner said that Pontiac added 7 cubic inches for the 2+2. Going from a 421 to a 428. In 1967 Pontiac increased the 421 to the 428 across the board for all the large Pontiacs. They also increased the 389 to the 400 in 1967.

I've seen this I'm about 4 months ago and I couldn't comment on it and I'm glad somehow I got it back beautiful 2+2👍

I like that car a lot, with the 428 CI, and a 4 speed. Let's Go ! I like that it is Basic, Crank windows, A/C delete.

A real clean machine this is a fine example of Detroit muscle 👍

Had a 67 Catalina that was the same color as this car. Someone had put a 72 454 in it. The car could be scary to drive. The timing chain jumped while doing about 85 miles an hour on I-82 near Yakima, Washington. The number 1 connecting rod broke sending engine pieces all over the place, one piece even went through the hood. Drug the car home and dropped a Buick 350 in it. Between me and a couple other family members, that car stayed on the road another 20 years.

Beautiful Pontiac 2+2 ! Tremendous rebuild, what a looker and a classic. Love it! Great jobs guys.

An absolute masterpiece 👍🏽 the colour is mind blowing! The engine and engine bay is beautiful 😍 I could live in there . So much room. Gorgeous back end with striking taillights. Plus what a plush interior ✔️ i love the fact that it’s manual and out of the 3 Pontiacs so far seen I’d say my favourite so far. Phenomenal! Thanks for the glimpse of a beautiful show car Lou. I would have loved to have seen it out on the road as with the other 2 but I can understand why that wasn’t possible. If I had it I doubt that I’d be taking it out very often. Hubert (Hugh)

What a awesome Pontiac, love your channel Lou I'm a new subscriber and got a lot of catching up to do !

Lou ,Nice Job ,Keep Those Pontiacs Coming ,Thank You !!!

Beautiful Car all over. Can't say I've ever seen that wheel style before. They are great looking wheels! Really set the car off.

Hey Lou, snooping around I found this '67 Pontiac Awesome car. My Grand father picked up my Uncles '67 Bonneville I use to ride in quite a bit. I still remember the smell of that car. I would clean the white walls tires while he would visit with my mom at age 8 or 9. That was one of my favorite styled cars. Although after seeing other Pontiac styles after 1967 the full sized cars took on a lot of plastic inside.

Had to watch it again. So beautiful.

Thanks - what a beautiful color!

Damn this car is unbelievable! 67s are super under appreciated. In my opinion the best looking front end and lines of all the full sizes! My dad has a 67 Catalina that his parents ordered brand new! Tracked it down and rescued it from a junk yard. Restoration is close to being done. White with maroon interior. 400. Rare full size ralleye 2s. Love that car!

Very nice Pontiac Lou! Growing up we had family friends with similar, but different Pontiac Parisiennes - there were odd Canadian market cars and definitely not 2+2s but still similar looking to this one in general terms. Thanks for the trip back down memory lane.

My father had a 67 Grand Prix in that color, luved that car.

Very beautiful car. I have one just like it, and I'm restoring it now from the frame to the body. Can't wait until it's done.

Excellent interview! Beautiful!!!

I'm happy I was born when cars were ALL different!!! 1967 4ever!!!!!!!

Man what a killer car great post Lou hope u are well😎

Had an identical car to this. It was also a extremely nice car. Sold it in 2011.

Well restored example of 60's Pontiac muscle. Top 10 for sure.

Wow-Another beauty! I remember the 67 Catalina's not sure I have ever seen a 2+2 in person...

My dad had a 66 Catalina convertible. A 2+2, wow. Nice Ride.

I like this body style of Pontiac!! In Canada, the 1967 Bonneville was sold as Parisienne, only with Chevrolet engine options: 250, 283, 327, 396, 427. The chassis is the same as Chevrolet Impala. I had a 1967 Parisienne 2+2 hardtop/fastback, 327 / Powerglide which I sold close to 30 years ago to get the 1967 Parisienne convertible I drive now. It is 283 / Powerglide. PS, PB, PW, power top with non-removable glass rear window. One of the most interesting features is the factory Delco AM/FM radio with switching dial scale - it either shows AM _or_ FM, but not both at the same time, by rotating the ring behind the tuning knob. I haven't seen another one of these, so I hope it keeps working.

Pontiacs from the 60' s Gm at it's best great cars

This brings back memories of when our dad used to take us to dealerships. We'd always visit the Pontiac one, each of the few years these events would take place. 2+2s were always there and the salesmen never once complained when us kids would get into the cars and sit behind their steering wheels. If I'm not mistaken, this one featured was missing a tachometer. Olds always had theirs on the console, despite having round guages

Pontiacs and Cadillacs were the best looking cars GM had to offer back then.

I never even knew the 428 existed let alone see one of 8 in the world. This beauty is the most gorgeous 1967 Pontiac I have had the pleasure to see. My oh my, what a gorgeous stunning ride. What a delight it would be to ride in this one. I understand the rarity of this model and keeping it as a show car, but this is the WOW factor Richard. Cool or what.?

this here vehicle, is a genuine treasure to behold. magnificent post by the best in the business. not a "resto-mod," just an authentic american made piece of mobility!

Gorgeous Pontiac 2+2🔥

Clean Clean Clean!

Pontiacs had great styling and were attractive cars. This car is beautiful and I like it. No fury dice makes it sophisticated for me.

17 feet of romping stomping art. When cars were cars.

The 1967 Pontiac Catalina Wagon is a very rare car. If you find one, post it!

I can't believe this 2+2, "big brother to the GTO" and top performance car of the full size Pontiacs, by 1967 didn't have a tachometer, especially with manual transmission. I guess tach was still an option and this one was ordered without it for some reason?

i like the 62 catalina just feet away. i've seen (not 2+2's,) but this kind of pontiac on the road over and over through the years. that white catalina is a charmer.

this is interesting, I actually know where one of these resides, needing a lot of restore work yet I think it's about 95% complete. Same color I think, ragtop 4 sp , 428 V8 etc.

Our neighbor had a beautiful 68 Bonneville convertible, he traded his 58 Impala convertible for it. That was truly a beautiful car, in every way.....This car is just as beautiful, and with a four speed!

that's a classic , 1 of a kind , nobody , would sale it for the world , by the time it's the age , somebody for it , ain't me , !

My parents owned a hard top model. My father and older brothers loved it an my mom hated it. She complained that the breaks were to good and the engine was too aggressive that it always wanted to go.

One slick Pontiac! Love the blue!!

All works size,shape,colour,proportions and really nice colour.Back when they built quality not just quantity.

Very beautiful amazing car thanks friend have a very nice day

Gorgeous. We had a purple 64 Bonneville my parents called the purple onion lol

That's beautiful !

. Pontiac The mark of Great Cars Beautiful car

Beautiful car with the perfect color.

Lou, note that the heater control matches the radio! That was a feature unique to Pontiac in the 1960s. My grandfather's 64 Catalina had the same arrangement for the heater.

Beautiful 2+2! Love those 428s!

Gorgeous!

That's a cool car. Very rare.

Gorgeous car!

My first car in 73 was a 69 2 plus 2, I loved that car.

Nice ride, 👍👍

Wow...beautiful car.

Lovely Car!!!

a real nice classic and style

Nice paint color! It really depends on the year for me, when it comes to Pontiacs. This one is nice, but isn't on my list of dream cars. 66 Lemans, 70 Catalina, 69 Grand Prix, 68 Catalina fastback are four that I really like.

Our family had a 67' Cat Wagon. There are not many 1967 Catalinas on the Internet. It might have been the best looking Pontiac.

That is a beautiful car.

Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice car!!!!

Nice car really like the colour!

They already had the grand prix. If you had one of these in 65 you were a mover & a shaker! 4 sp.428 engine, gills on the fender,classy & rare.

Not a lot of '67 2 + 2's were built; I always liked the fact that save for badging and those fender louvers, the '67 looked almost too ordinary, yet packed the punch of that one-year-only 428 mill. Oh, and those "disc brakes" wheel covers up front! Then again. you could get that engine in the '68 Grand Prix, another unique big Poncho (GoodFellas, anyone?) or in a big Ventura.

beautiful car

Beautiful car

A beautiful designed car.

Very beautiful car . Lou

Thats sweet

My Dad had a 67 Catalina 389- 2 barrel. Sharp car cleaned up.

A gorgeous car, with those fins/grill work on the side, to me it resembles a "giant manta ray on land.'"

Wow, just wow, beautiful tin indian..Love Pontiacs.

that car rocks
