well guys I answered an ad on Kijiji 2 months ago and 2 weeks ago I flew out to Vancouver and drove back my new toy. You guys never posted it. 66 cat.jpg

1966 Catalina 2dr HT, 389cu in.

the good stuff - Glass is like new, interior is new, new headliner Very very little rust, solid, no body work. updates include electronic ig, Flowmaster exh, Drop spindle front end and lowered stance, 17 inch mags and low profile tires.

Paint has some small issues but from 10 ft away it looks great. A few little things to fix up , like droop visors, pass side door only opens from inside, right signals are flakey. Little crap.

I drove 70 all the way back( real Miles per hour) and made average 18.8 mpg in real gusty wind and mountains.

When I have a few more minutes and get a picture saved properly and can learn how to up load it here I will share it with you all.

Cost was 11 grand.

hey that didnt take long as I thot.

Nice. I am thinking the wind was with you part of the time to get mileage like that with that power train. Sounds like fun to fly in and drive out, great way to get to know your car. Did it once and I remember it had a little miss once in awhile and I would start wondering what was next. Turned out into a good trip as the car ran better the longer I drove.
