I would have run faster but the polyglass tires would just burn up and melt. I didn't want to replace the 8 lugs on it and since I had a 65 GTO race car. It didn't make sense. I would tow my race car with the 2+2. I still own the 65 GTO I owned that car since I was 16 years old. Its waiting in storage for a resto back to stock. Every ones car come first then its mine. That's just the way it is.

That's the way it is with everyone who turns a wrench. I like your 'vert. That's gonna make a nice ride.

Untouched, original tires, zero rust, time capsule interior.

Was this car listed for sale in the Council Bluffs Craigslist? A gentleman in Council Bluffs was selling a low mileage 64 like this.

Ooops!

Do you own it now or did you just stop by and take these photos?
I know a lot of guys on this site don't care about or like the "more door" cars but I love seeing a low miles car like this of any body style.



These are the cars that movie and TV casting dierectors want on their sets because they were "John Q. Public's" basic transportation back in the days.

Can you post some photos of the interior? Nothing makes the "coupe crowd" droll more than a mint dash bezel and steering wheel from a low miles car.. I'm looking for a low milage '63 or '64 Catalina 4 dr sedan with economy engine and 3 speed manual trans. (or even a high milage one for that matter).

Great find! If it's for sale somewhere or if it's yours and you decide to sell it let me know. I've had my cars in several movies and one like this could be used as is or easily made into a taxi or police car.

I don't know if this is the same car or not, but if not, it might still be for sale: http://omaha.craigslist.org/cto/2565399879.html

the ones on my black 62 235 70 15 diamond back on arrowhead short fins and 15 rims

Thanks to both of you for your reply and information. I greatly appreciate it.

Any thread links with the '62 short fin / balancing plate, etc. discussion?
