Default 65 Catalina 2 door Sedan

Here's a shot of my "2BadCat" [vanity plate]. My son Rob, his friend Kevin and I did the rebuild. Powered by a Ken Keefer [aka P-Dude] 455. Ran a 12.51/106 at the strip recently. Some of you may have seen it in High Performance Pontiac a few issues ago. Having a lot of fun with the Cat.

Thumbs up USA?

Stig,

Did you think I wouldn't notice the Lake Tahoe and Silverton CO scenes behind your beautiful drop top?

Wheelspin- I didn't even know the POCI nat'ls were at Greenville, SC. That's a 4 hour drive from where I am now (and an 8 hour drive of my hom home up in northern VA).

When are they and who's invited? Maybe I can make it down there this year? (if i'm welcome)... I might wanna join POCI first though?

Tinindn- WOW that is a scary ride. Very dark very mafioso! Looks like anything from a demon to a band of the Godfather's best toting artillary could be lurking in there. I love it! And that you're the original owner is even better!

How did you maintain it alive all this time? Any tips for hopefull long time owners?

It was a great Saturday night special from a roll....I pulled out the 470 with the Wenzler tunnel ram. Replaced it with a 400 (under a cowl induction hood), before I sold it. still runs strong with a 3500 stall - I'm glad too have it back. Its a cruiser now......

Its a Cadillac STS color from 1999. Tri Coat Candy Red. My boss's Seville sat outside my office window - it was a real no brainer of a color choice. It really looked good with the Gold Bonneville tags on the front fenders.

Mike: You may want to join POCI as the monthly magazine alone is worth the cost of membership which I think is about $30/year. Log on to www.poci.org
All POCI members are invited to the annual convention. This year's convention is out in California and I heard that 2007 would be in Oklahoma. The conventions are a lot of fun, lots to see and do. There is always a very impressive turnout of Big Cars too.
Thought I'd try to post pix of interior of my 65 Catalina
