Alvin:

As far as 3-speeds are concerned, I can tell you that 144 2+2s were built with a 3-speed in 1967. Of those, none of them were HOs. This was on Fred's chart. I don't have any other 3-speed info otherwise, which makes me wonder if the 3-speed was available on the HO? I would think it would be standard because it was usually standard fare for most engines aside of top dogs like RAIV, Hemi, LS6, etc. The Stage 1 came standard with the 3-speed, interestingly enough.

67 428HO 4 speed.

373 sticks were built, which includes 3-speeds unless it wasn't offered on the HO. And, using deductive reasoning, we know that 144 of those were 2+2s . . . assuming I'm doing this right.

My dad special ordered a '67 2+2.... though it was a 360hp 4 speed with a hood tach.... In around 1974... he purchased a '67 Ventura that was a 428HO 4 speed...... So... any idea on how many Venturas with that combo were produced???

Maybe I should rip the 428 out of my '69 and stick it in my '67..

[Diego]

I think the Ventura was an option on the Catalina, right? If info on the combo exists, I don't have it.

However, I know based on the paperwork that 436 428HO Catalinas were built. We also know that 261 2+2s were built with the 428HO, based on Fred Simmonds' matrix. Hence, I would think 175 "regular" Catalinas were built with the HO, and that would include Venturas too.

If I am mistaken about the Ventura's status as an option package, please let me know because then I'm most certainly wrong about the above.

[71GP76TA]

Yes, the Ventura was an option package on the Catalina as was the 2+2.

What does a GM Heritage Center Pontiac information package contain? At only $50 each, what models will be offered?

When I last visited the website last week and attempted to load the 1973 Chevelle packet example it never did load…just a blank page. So you don’t have to ask: Yes, using the fastest internet speed/software/hardware/etc. here on this end.

At that time there was no Pontiac package available. Any expected launch dates?
Is there any way you could post a PDF (or other image) example of the package here for all to see?

Thanks.

I just posted my response in the similar A-body thread.

Thanks for the reply CG (on the 73-77 Abody thread) and Thank you for the offer.

FYI follow-up for all here, An Adobe plug-in update allowed viewing of the same on this end.

And yes, the first page of each "package" is a blank white sheet.

bump to top for 2+2 info

[PONTIAC LARRY]

Was all of Fred Simmons data ever published anywhere or is it the stuff PHS uses but keeps to themselves ?

[Diego]

I don't think the matrices he did were ever published, but info from them would appear in magazines from time to time. The matrices eventually got into the hands of hobbyists.
