Check this out. At frist I thought it said 427, but I think the 1 is slanted to look like that:

I beleive that's H.B. Bailey out of Houston, Tx in the #36 car. He was probably running one of the old '62-'63 SD motors.

Nice ride. I like those rims, they look very good on the car. It looks like you have a spinner center? What type of rims are they?

they're motor wheel spyders. very rare, and the center caps often go for as much as the wheels themselves. i've got 2 sets of 5 on 5, 15x6 wheels. they clean up nice, if you can get good help.

i also run a pair with hurst re-cap piecrust slicks, but they're more of a 69-70-ish wheel, and they were into wrinklewalls by then. i'll probably swap to a 5-spoke front and stock steel wheel in the back for a more period-correct look.

Beautiful car. Noticed the perfect steering wheel - I just had my '63 done by Dennis Crooks at Quality Restorations - wondered if that's where yours was done.

It looks like a 4dr from here (series 2369)...nice low-option Cat.

slightly O/T but I am looking for a horn button assembly if you have (or come across) a spare setup - PM me with info.

If you mean the 62 Catalina 2dr Sport Sedan that I posted yesterday.............it is a low option (meaning nothing). Radio delete, no ps/pb. Fun to drive though.

Default Finally started on the 66 Ventura

Finally started working on the resto of the 66 Ventura I got
from Josh...

First car resto I've ever done so I'm taking my time and documenting
everything. I got a cheap HD camcorder and record the disassembly
narrating and mentioning anything I might need to know later..
which I then burn to DVDs and number.. so.. if I do this right I stack
a spindle of DVDs then watch them in reverse order to put the thing
back together.. great idea in theory.. we'll see if it works in practice.

Have the interior mostly out except the dash and headliner ..
have the grille, front fenders and wheel wells off.. next is the
rad support and then pulling the engine and tranny together..

This car was in an accident and had slight body damage on 3 sides..
the nose was broken, both fenders bent, the pass front door was
damaged and the pass rear 1/4 was damaged some at the back end.
I have replacement parts for all of this stuff and I have a recc for a body
guy local to cut and weld in patches since I can't weld (yet).

When its done its going to be my daily driver.. its the only way I can get
my moneys worth out of putting so much into a 4 door ... the experience
will pay off when I have to do my Bonneville convert right after this one.

the 66 YA 389 is coming out to be rebuilt and Im not sure how much
I'm going to do with it. thinking of going .30 over with a 4.25 stroke..
but the new motor build has to wait until the body is done so I have time
to ponder that more.

Heres a few pics.. the first is the day i got it home.. the second shows the
damage to the pass door and the replacement , the third shows the 1/4 damage
and the last 2 are as it sits today in my garage..

John
