This is that cars' third appearance on the forum, first as a CL ad, then on facebook, and now.
It must be in sad shape to have lasted this long. James Q

Congrats Diego! Super cool Pontiac! Can't wait to see more pictures of another 428 4-speed Catalina. That thing is only an 068 cam and long branch manifolds away from an HO! 3.42 rear gears I imagine?

I believe you're correct about the gears.

I don't know. For all I know, I'll be using a cane during the Drags. It's a slow process.

Congrats
Diego-
Congratulations on your purchase! Sorry to hear of your broken ankle. All the more reason to have a healthy recovery! Dennis has set the bar high with his car. I can't wait to see what you do with yours! The color combination is striking and timeless! Jim |

 I used to own a 4-4-2. Been carless for 6-7 years. Then this popped up. It's my style because I like the unusual, but it's not my forever car. The things it needs are perfect for my limited abilities, as I am a dummy with working on cars. I am not planning on having a restoration like Dan's Verdoro Green car, but let's see how far I get with restoring the body and the interior, and maybe more. At the very least, it was something that was 6 hours away, and I knew I could give it a good home vs. someone else buying it and pulling the engine and junking the car. At this point its life will only get better. First I need to buy tools (and I need the money for that), and I know there are people locally and online who can answer questions for me. Best of all, it seem the best thing about the car is that it runs fine. |

No, this is the 375 hp 428, but still a great engine with big valve #16 heads, 067 cam, and 10.75 advertised compression. Basically, an HO with a smaller cam and log exhaust manifolds. (Sorry to speak for you Diego!)

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.
