Low prices and big comfort have drawn me deeper to the dark side with 4 big ponchos now.

First up is my 69 Catalina drop top, a typically optioned car with AC, power drum brakes, PS, etc. I believe I'm the third owner and she is is a nice clean unrestored rustfree car with 76,000 miles which despite how she looks in these pics could use a nice paint job one day.

I bought it last November and she was still optioned exactly as per the buildsheet, I changed that a bit by upgrading a few items; NOS door edge gaurds, custom hubcaps to replace the deluxe ones, a clock since I had one and a correct AM/FM mono to replace the now useless (in my neighborhood anyway) AM radio. This summer I'm dropping in a correct 69 4bbl 428-360 Bonneville engine since the current 400 has to come out anyhow due to severe rear seal leak and the 428 is just collecting dust on a pallet in my shop.
