Check front frame where the curve ends & the long straight section begins. Other places should be obvious.
Check the wire harness better than I did

Trunk pan
It depends on where you are located but everyone here wants a trunk pan. If it was stored outdoors the trunk gasket seems to leak on all of these cars.

Check the perimeter section of the frame and inner rockers if you can get access to the car on a lift. A rust-prone area if you're in the salt belt.

you might try searching ebay motors for 63 catalina completed listings. they seem to sell higher on ebay than what the buyers guides list them as. price depends upon options as well (engine, 8lugs, auto/manual, etc). also search the py forum. there's a ton of good info on this site.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
