A small number of 1962 Catalinas and other Pontiacs were built with a "non-streetable" 421 cu in (6.9 L) Super Duty V8 with two four-barrel carburetors and 405 hp (302 kW), as a US$2,250 option (when the base Catalina listed at US$2,725), [9] along with various "over the counter" performance options offered by Pontiac including aluminum bumpers ...
The 421.19 cu in (6.9 L) was introduced in 1961 as a dealer-installed Super Duty option for racing. Unlike previous enlargements of Pontiac V8s, it did not replace the 389. The first of the "big journal" Pontiac V8s, it had a bore and stroke of 4 + 3 ⁄ 32 in × 4 in (104.0 mm × 101.6 mm) and came with dual four-barrel carburetors.
The designation 2+2 was borrowed from European sports car terminology, for a seating arrangement of two in front plus two in the rear. It was designated officially at Pontiac as a "regular performance" model, [2] a thoroughly confusing designation for a vehicle that was clearly intended to be to the Catalina platform what the GTO was to the A-body Lemans: the standard drivetrain was a 2-barrel ...

For 1962, Pontiac offered a 421 cu in (7 L) Super Duty V8 with two four-barrel carburetors, rated at 405 hp (302 kW), as a US$2,250 option as the base Star Chief listed at US$3,097 ($32,193 in 2024 dollars [5]). [10] A rare option, it was probably never ordered on this somewhat heavy sedan.
Pontiac used the Roto Hydramatic from 1961-1964 on its shorter-wheelbase full-sized cars including the Catalina, Ventura and Grand Prix, but continued with the older four-speed Super Hydramatic design in the longer-wheelbase Star Chief and Bonneville models. It is believed Pontiac was made to take Roto in the short wheelbase models ( Catalina ...
The 1962 hardtop coupe had a listed retail price of $3,349 ($34,813 in 2024 dollars [5]). [14] In 1962, the Bonneville coupe was offered along with the all new Pontiac Grand Prix which has the same luxurious interior of the Bonneville on the shorter Catalina wheelbase, and the Grand Prix was slightly more expensive and exclusive.
