Hey everyone,
I was told that this forum was a MUST after having recently purchased my first Pontiac, a '65 Catalina to be exact:  I hope to learn a lot here, and get a lot of help in getting her roadworthy. roflo619 |

Welcome! I'm just up the road from you in Ramona. I watched your Catalina on CL for a while and almost went to look at it several times. Not sure what you ended up paying but it looked like a pretty darn good deal!
PM me if you ever need Pontiac help or want to chat.  Chris

You'll find anything you will ever need to know about Pontiacs on this site. So , have you been asked..."what year Impala" yet?? Or is it only the Firebird owners who have to say IT'S NOT A DAMN CAMARO!!

Sweeet Catalina...
Low and smooth Catalina; I like everything about it, especially the 8-lugs
 . I was in your backyard last Saturday racing at the Pontiac Heaven event held at the Barona drag strip. Glad to have you here .

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

The car actually looks better in pictures than in person. Well, it looks good in person too. It just needs some work. There was rust on the rear deck lid between the rear window and trunk door. This in turn allowed a lot of moisture down into the trunk area and parts of the rear wheel wells which also need to be replaced. You can tell right away that a lot was done to the car when it was first built years ago--it was just left to wither away for some reason. Quote:

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.
