New to the board- 64 Cat drop top
Hi all. I just wanted to say hi and intrduce myself. I just purchased a 64 catalina convertible and am about to start resto on it. I will get pics soon. It is in great shape with very little rust (Texas car-now Canadian car )
I should also have a 64 catalina coupe in a week or so (parts donor). I look forward to seeking advice and looking for the odds and ends I am missing to complete this project. Both cars have the ventura option. |

Welcome to the Darkside !! Congrats on your purchase, love that 64 slab-side styling.
Be sure to join the Pontiac Oakland Club International, great organization for us PontiManiacs and they publish a slick monthly magazine that is chock full of parts, info and vendors. Of coarse you'll want to get a Big Car Catalog from our host Performance Years. Good luck in your project and keep us posted. Jim

Justaguy,
As a fellow '64 cat drop top owner: WELCOME. You'll find we're a little looney here, but have good time. Where in Canada are you? I have a good friend up that way who has a '64 2 door ht with dual quads. And please, feel free to post any questions, ask for help, or give advice. Nothing too simple or stupid here. -r-

Ooooopps, didn't see the lobby, was looking for the new mwmbers area but never saw it. Thanks. I am in Ontario, Canada. I am quite happy with the new car. It has never been painted. It's missing a fewe things as the previous owner started a resto and misplaced items but I think I have found most of what I need.(Don't waste time, want her on the go asap )

Another WELCOME!
We might be a motley bunch, but between us we know a bunch about the big cars. TX is a great place to have a car from. I have a '63 from there that is nice & clean. You are so right about getting it going. Sitting seems to be the worst thing for these cars - and their owners too.
