Hello all!
I've been a long time lover of the 1966 full sized Pontiac, as my dad owned a 1966 2dr ht Catalina, in Barrier Blue.
And that was the only Pontiac he ever owned, but was enough for me to make me a die-hard Pontiac man.That's all I've ever owned, other than a stray 1964 Galaxie (1st car).
I ended up buying a near copy of my dads car a few years ago which was a runner an old lady had owned since 1968, but after getting to know the car, she was far too rusted out for me to put money into, so I sold it, and keep my Arizona parts car as a basis as my dream car resto.
I parted out a 66 Bonneville 4dr Broughm, mostly for the YF code 389, as this was the engine my dads car had all those years ago.
The car is still in storage, but I buy parts off of ebay as money allows, a little at a time, so when the time comes to start working on her, I won't be still searching for the parts I need.

Anyway, with that little bit of history out of the way, can someone tell me the meaning behind the term "Darksider"?
Does it refer to full sized '60s Pontiacs, a certain model, or year?
I really like reading all of your guys' comments and input on the '60s Pontiac, as it will be a passion of mine till I die.

My plans for my 66 Cat include a complete body off resto, and while keeping the body 100% stock and original, I plan on doing the interior with the GP front bench/rear seat w/speaker, and maybe some hints of Bonneville thrown in. A/C will also be of the factory style but retroed to 134.
The 389 will have an Edelbrock intake and a AFB style carb along with a 068 cam and headers with dual exhaust.
I like the idea of using same year of RallyII wheels, but not sure what year of the 5x5 wheels I need to fit nicely in the rear.
I also will stay with the drum brakes, so I can run the stock 14" wheels and caps when I want.
My dream is to have it restored and hook my 1968 Forester camper to the back of it and take a tourist style trip from Chicago to LA following the old Rt,66.
Thanks for letting me be a part of such a great bunch of guys!!

Leon.
