Coffee and Cars this morning, took the ‘02 WS6 this time.

Saw a nice ‘64 Le Mans coupe with a Tri-Power 400 under the hood.

My son would love that ‘64!
Figured I’d mention it here, since I don’t know how many looks the wanted ads get. My son down in Central Florida is looking for an old car. He’s really looking for a ‘64- 71 A body Pontiac, but would consider other GM’s. Looking for a nice solid driver for him and his family, and is way too busy with life for a project. See my post in the A body wanted if you can think of anyone in that part of the country. He’s willing to drive a little to look, just doesn’t want to waste his time. No replies to the post yet.
Anyway, yeah that ‘64 is right up his alley if it were for sale on the right coast.

Finally took my car for a drive after an engine swap. Ran good and strong, need to dial in the carb a little.

Is it the motor you have in your sig? That sounds like a strong combo. How are it's street manners?

Pulled the 467 in my sig to fix some leaks. Gonna run my spare in the meantime which is a 461 that is very similar except it has KRE 310s and a Comp HR288 with 1.65 rockers

Put a '65 Caddy MC on my '64 and bent new lines from the frame up to it (ports are on the engine side).

Father's Day car show at Concord High School. Took home 1st place for 1960s car which was a nice surprise.

Hung out with a couple other Pontiac guys I haven't met before. The '69 was a loaded cream puff. Really nice car with a really cool owner. '73 Firebird was a Formula 350 4 speed.

Took the seats, and carpet out and dug out the old factory sound deadner. Vaccumed up the rusticles as I call them to check out the floor damage. It's nowhere near as rusty as I thought, still going to be a big job for me! Cleaned out the trunk same thing, will need a patch.

Great skills to learn, although I cringe a little with the bracelets on that beautiful paint, especially after getting my first scrape from a clueless couple at a car show I attended.

Hey Bill, What year Catalina? (what is the distance of the bar from eye to eye?)

I am wondering if that universal bar will fit a 58 X frame?
