That would be a great highway cruiser, winter commuter/tank....just as it is.

How come all the good deals are 3,000 miles from me?

More closely resembles the '73-'77 "A" and "G" chassis underneath, I am waiting for someone to put up an ad for a 1980 GTO project, being the Phoenix replaced the Ventura (on which the '74 GTO was based), and of coarse the FWD Phoenix/Citation replaced the RWD Phoenix/Nova. Using the logic applied to this '79 "Catalina GTO", I don't see why not LOL.

I've never seen one, but maybe this one is just missing the woodgrain and trim due to the primer, ready to paint stage

Most of these last few ads have one thing in common. They come from areas where the wacky weed is legal. Nuff said.

I really disagree, if you stay under 56 inch diameter and don't go with the bling ones, the Amish Style look great on an L88.

You beat to the post on that POS firebird. You were right on the money when you said they were in the state where they have the wacky weed legal, because he really has to smoking something if he thinks he has a special car. It's special alright but only to those who are missing a few bits of brain matter.

It must be worth twice as much 'cause it has twice as many doors.

It's that rare version with the '63 tail lights and front facia.
The parking pawl in the trans must be busted if he has to put bricks in front of each wheel.

One too many zeroes in the price and even that's pushing it...
