Very few pictures of the car and not much info supporting that it's anything special. Sitting a little high in the from. Needs some engine detailing.

Also not stating it's a 2+2. Just a '66 Catalina with the wood veneer.

Be pretty hard to duplicate those louvers in the rear quarters! This leads me to believe it's real. Did anyone else notice the neat radio block-off plate?

I think with a 2+2, it is really a wash as far as value goes 4-speed vs auto. The Turbo 400 was such a bulletproof and wonderful transmission, it doesn't drastically hurt the performance and value the way a Slim Jim does in the older models. As Jerry said, many as they get older may actually prefer the auto. I have owned both and personally much prefer the 4-speed. But the auto has a nicer looking, better integrated console than the 4-speed one. It's really up to what you want and the availability of all the parts needed to do a quality conversion. The long tail shaft Muncies are kind of hard to find, although nothing special other than the tail housing and main shaft. I would imagine, pedal assemblies, linkage, correct Hurst shifter, console and associated parts are hard to come by and expensive nowdays. A donor car would be a game changer on this deal.

Update. Car is in my garage. Plans are to put the car back to factory stock. Have the numbers matching motor and fresh rebuild on the engine stand. 90% of the original equipment comes with the car in boxes. Plus most of the paperwork from early on.

Love the 2+2's especially the 421 HO's.

Same color combo as the one I owned back in the 80's. Biggest difference is that mine was a 4 speed.

Thank you. I've always wanted to be on the 61-66 Big Pontiac Tech trend.

On the PHS. What was highlighted if your car came with the Manifold Vacuum gauge?

Just the same as a '65 Grand Prix had the vacuum gauge as standard so its not listed separately. I think?????
