The average catalytic converter contains anywhere from three to seven grams of platinum group metals, depending on what company it’s manufactured by and the type of vehicle it’s used in.
Catalytic converters are among the most commonly stolen car parts for containing small amounts of precious metals, including rhodium, palladium, and of course, platinum.
