Default Christmas present

Anybody else buy themselves a Pontiac related Christmas present? I just got mine early, a California Car Cover that will hopefully protect the Catalina this winter since we don't have a garage.

Mine's overdue for a gift! I should plan on giving it something... maybe getting those throttle blades for that almost-done tri-power setup I have collecting dust in the basement!

This is a fun little forum thread!

The high end California Cover is worth every bit of the nearly $400 they charge. I have been using them for about 9 years in Florida. No one believes that my car doesn't sit in a garage all day.

Andre, I didn't get the top dollar one, mine was about $239. How long do yours hold up typically?

Time... After a busy holiday season I'm getting some time to drop better engines in my '60 Safari and '63 BV cvt. Spring is going to be great fun around here (I hope)

As far as pontiac items, I am working on an order now that I will put through for rear airbags, carpet, armrests, gas lines, trim rings, back up lamps, trans kit, sending unit and a bunch of other items. Trying to get back to needs on the car vs wants so that I may actually get the car driveable prior to summer.

Just need to sell my 65-66 brake kit first. If anyone is interested, its listed in the parts section.
