Yeah.. I thought that I was wanting to keep it to finish and take to AZ. with us.. but after discussing the idea with a few people just seems that it's not practical.. No ac, Mel won't drive it, and I will prolly end up trading for something offroad when I get there anyway... So spread the word.. I'm losing my ass the way it sits right now for the price.. $3000 OBO
Copied from CL ad...
I am relocating to a new job in Arizona.. It's not feasible to bring my project with me to the desert.. So it has to go. I started the restore so the 389 engine and tranny has been removed and the engine taken apart.. Had the block shot peened, flux, bored and honed to 400. new camshaft seals and freeze plugs installed. Crankshaft turned .10 over. The heads have been shot peened and checked for cracks. Still needs valve guides and seats installed then it's ready to assemble.
Body and frame are incredibly solid for this old of a car.. chrome is still in great shape.. Have to see to appreciate
I've spent close to $4500 already so I'm taking a big hit selling it. Won't take much to get it going again. Just not worth it to me to haul to AZ. to finish..
1964 four door Pontiac Catalina
Numbers matching all stock drivetrain
Disk brake upgrade on front
Rear handles shaved
New carpet
New headliner (needs installed)
New door and trunk seals
Has been primed, sealed and coated with Plastidip to prevent rust
All original glass
New trunk pans
17" Boyd Coddington wheels
Brand new Melling SPC-7 camshaft
New Radiator
